Love Island: All Stars is set to arrive on our screens tonight following an unexpected postponement.
The ITV2 dating programme had been slated to begin on Monday (January 12), but ITV revealed on Saturday (January 10) that production had been delayed after South Africa was affected by wildfires.
Nevertheless, presenter Maya Jama confirmed on Wednesday (January 14) that filming had officially commenced and the 12 attractive singletons were prepared to enter the renowned villa.
Yet, two returning contestants have received some disheartening news just hours before the opening episode of the series was broadcast to the nation.
According to Ladbrokes, Leanne Amaning and Charlie Frederick are presently the least favoured girl and boy and most likely to be eliminated first at 6/1, reports OK!.
Conversely, Millie Court and Tommy Bradley are tipped to triumph, both at 3/1.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "Fans can't wait for the latest batch of former islanders to head to South Africa and the latest odds suggest Tommy and Millie will be the ones to beat."
Series six original Leanne is returning to Love Island six years after her initial appearance back in 2020, where she partnered with Mike Boateng, famously developing "the ick".
She was removed from the Love Island villa on day 18 after Mike chose to couple up with bombshell Sophie Piper rather than her.
Prior to featuring on the programme, she worked as a customer service adviser and since departing the villa she has worked as a content creator and has also pursued acting.
In 2023, she took centre stage in the romantic comedy play I Think I Might Cheat on My Girlfriend at London's Pleasance Theatre.
Charlie, a series four sensation, first made his appearance in the villa in 2018 but his stay was short-lived. He was ousted from the Mallorcan villa after just five days, alongside original girl Hayley Hughes.
Post-show, Charlie and Hayley did not pursue a relationship, with Charlie attributing their early exit to Hayley, stating: "I would definitely have coupled up with someone else if I knew that I was going to get nothing back the whole time. I probably would have gone for Megan [Barton-Hanson]."
The confirmed line-up for the All Stars series three includes other contestants such as Helena Ford, Shaq Muhammad, Jack Keating, Sean Stone, Jess Harding, Ciaran Davies, Belle Hussan and Whitney Adebayo.
