Love Island is back and it’s going to be spicier than ever. That’s the opinion of All Stars legend Gabby Allen who believes the latest twists will have the drama flowing from the very start.
Maya Jama is on hand to welcome the latest group of hopefuls looking for love on the ITV show – and former contestant Gabby is on hand to spill the tea in an exclusive watch-along with the Mirror. The 2017 star and 2025 All Star is bringing her inside knowledge of the show, but fully expects bosses to have upped the ante once again for the latest batch.
Twelve hopefuls have travelled to Majorca and will get to work on coupling up. But in a big twist, the contestants will make their own choices! Gone is the public decision and it’s every contestant for themselves!
Gabby is already expecting Lorenzo Alessi to be in high demand, and believes fellow scouser Robyn Langton will ‘bag the man she wants’. Watch along with us and let us know your thoughts…

“When the public get to decide it gives everybody a chance to get to know each other and THEN put your cards on the table, so this is going to turn up the heat and create competition form the get go, as everybody will see who is in high demand from the off.
“BUT nobody has any loyalties to anybody right now, so it literally is every man for themselves! Every year it gets spicier!”

She first appeared in 2017 before returning as an All Star in 2025. Now, Gabby Allen is joining the Mirror for an opening show watch-along.
She’ll be bringing a unique take on all things villa life from someone who knows it better than most.
