Love Island fans stunned as nail-biting recoupling sees Ronnie issue major apology

Love Island: All Stars, hosted by Maya Jama, aired tense recoupling scenes on Thursday night – just days after the All Stars Islanders walked through the villa for a second chance at love

Love Island All Stars aired jaw-dropping moments tonight that all started when Catherine got a text.

As the Islanders gathered by the firepit for a tense recoupling, Casey, being the bombshell, was allowed to pick first and picked Gabby. Scott, up next, chose to couple up with India, while Curtis was quick to pick Ekin-Su, bizarrely describing her as an ‘onion’.

Elsewhere, Marcel chose Olivia, Nas picked Catherine and Ronnie - before announcing who he’d like to couple up with - issued an apology, admitting he hadn’t ‘handled’ his situation in the villa well.

He also said he wanted to be with someone he could ‘feel himself around’ before selecting Elma. The pair came to an agreement about sleeping arrangements, deciding to once again share a bed. Finally, Luca picked Kaz, hailing her as ‘beautiful’ and adding that ‘everyone deserves a chance’.

Reacting to the new couples as Ronnie picking Elma, one fan said: "that’s crazy-" Another added: "Shocking he picked Elma." Someone else commented: "I really don’t have the strength to be annoyed for a second love island in a row by Ronnie Vint, like I’m sorry what." A fourth added: "my jaw dropped actually."

The second season of Love Island All Stars is shaping up to be an explosive one, and one of the most talked-about contestants so far this year is Ekin-Su. After last night’s show, the TV star was branded ‘messy’ over her and Curtis’ kiss. Ekin-Su faced criticism on social media after sharing intimate details of her kiss with Curtis, whom she had coupled up with after stealing him from Kaz.

Unbeknownst to Ekin-Su, Kaz was within earshot during the conversation, leading to an awkward and tense situation in the villa.

The kiss between Ekin-Su and Curtis further intensified the villa's dynamics, with Ekin-Su openly discussing the encounter. Her candidness, however, was met with backlash online, as viewers deemed her actions inconsiderate towards Kaz.

Fans took to Twitter to express their disapproval, labelling Ekin-Su as "messy" and accusing her of disregarding Kaz's feelings. One viewer commented, "Ekin-Su talking about kissing Curtis while Kaz is right there? That's just messy." Another tweeted, "Ekin-Su knew exactly what she was doing. No respect for Kaz at all."

Later in the episode, Kaz approached Curtis about the kiss that happened the previous night. Kaz said to Curtis: "I didn't get a chance to talk to you after your kiss yesterday. I was in the day bed under the cover and Ekin didn't see me under the cover. I was like what a great way to end my night, but I don't get jealous, that's what we're here to do, I'm still going to get to know you, I kinda like it, it's gonna be a challenge."

Kaz then asked Curtis: "What do you think, are you still open to getting to know me?" Curtis responded: "A thousand percent. Kaz later said in the beach hut: "The chapter hasn't ended."

The Turkish actress, who won the eighth series of the show with Davide in 2022, made her Love Island: All Stars debut during the show's launch on Monday night. Ekin-Su said she is following her gut in returning to the villa, almost three years after winning the ITV2 dating show.

On the launch of the second series of the spin-off show, based in South Africa, Ekin-Su, 30, arrived as a bombshell contestant among those returning to find love . Davide and Ekin-Su split for good last year.
