Curtis Pritchard and Scott Thomas among Love Island: All Stars contestants

Curtis Pritchard, Scott Thomas and Kaz Crossley are among the well-known faces making a comeback to the reality dating show Love Island for its All Stars spin-off's second series.

Other islanders participating in the ITV2 programme include series 11's Ronnie Vint, Gabby Allen from series three, Elma Pazar of series five, and Catherine Agbaje from series 10, with Maya Jama reprising her role as host.

Rounding off this year's cast are Nas Majeed from series six, Olivia Hawkins of series nine, Luca Bish from series eight, India Reynolds of series five, and Marcel Somerville from series three.

Thomas, 36, who was paired with Kady McDermott in series two, revealed he has been focusing on "working on sobriety, personal growth, self-development" since his villa departure in 2016.

"When I first went into the villa I was still a bit of a boy... I feel like I finally know who I am", he expressed. "It might sound cheesy, but I’m ready to settle down and I’ve never been open to saying those words. Where better than Love Island? " When asked if there is a relationship he would like to mirror, he responded: "My brother, Adam, and his wife, Caroline. They have an amazing relationship. I always say I want to find ‘my Caroline’." His brothers are soap actors Adam and Ryan Thomas.

Crossley, 29, shared: "I’m really excited, but I love surprises so I hope I’m surprised in there! It’ll be nice to mingle with people from different series, especially as series four was so long ago now. If I see some faces I recognise, I’ll be really happy," expressed the 28 year old Pritchard about the upcoming reunion. "I feel like I’m in a different stage in my life."

He further shared, "The idea of settling down is a serious idea in my life right now. I haven’t found my true love... that sounds so cheesy, doesn’t it? " Not losing his enthusiasm for love, he added, "So, I thought ‘Let’s give it another go’. It was great fun last time; a lot of emotions."

With high hopes, he announced, "I feel excited to go back. I’m going to have a great fun time and hopefully leave with someone. It’s exciting."

Reflecting on a well-known instance from his prior stint, Pritchard remarked about his habit of being an early riser for coffee: "It follows me everywhere! In hindsight, if I do find a girl this time, I will perhaps cuddle her in bed rather than make coffee... so Amy taught me a lesson."

The new chapter, Love Island: All Stars series two, premieres on Monday January 13 at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
