Love Island stars Eve and Jess Gale reflect on their villa return for All Stars
Eve and Jess Gale believe Love Island All Stars is “getting more dramatic” since they appeared on the show in 2024 - but the identical twins can't be tempted back to the villa.
Eve and Jess Gale think Love Island All Stars is “getting more dramatic” since they appeared on the show.
The identical twins, both 26, first featured on Love Island in 2020 before returning to the villa four years later for the ITV2 spinoff show, and the duo have revealed their verdict on the current series of All Stars.
Speaking with the Daily Mirror newspaper, they said: “I feel like All Stars is getting more dramatic now, and the line-up is really good. There are probably more exes this season, so it’s already pretty juicy.
“Some of our friends are in there, like Leanne [Amaning]! Absolutely love her, so we’re backing her.”
When asked whether they would return to the show again, the pair said: “Once is enough.”
This comes after Curtis Pritchard and Lucinda Strafford flew into the villa for the fourth time.
The pair entered the Love Island All Stars villa as bombshells last Friday (23.01.26), marking the fourth appearance on the franchise for both of them.
Curtis, 29, made his debut in 2019 before joining for Love Island Games in 2023 and All stars in 2025.
Meanwhile, Lucinda, 26, took part in the UK’s season seven in 2021, Australia’s season five in 2023 and Love Island Games last year.
Reflecting on his comeback to Love Island All Stars, Curtis said: “I normally throw all my eggs into one basket … I’m probably going to end up doing that again.
“I like to focus on one person. I’ve never been a bombshell before, so I don’t quite know what to expect coming in as one. I’ll try and talk to everyone the first couple of days.”
Lucinda added she was glad she has been given another chance to find love.
She said: “I was quite young when I entered the Love Island Villa in Series seven, I was overthinking things loads.
“Now that I’m older, I’m definitely more confident in my own skin with much more life experience, so I think my approach will naturally be different from before.
“I am a girls’ girl but I don’t want to be afraid to say what I think and see what happens. I don’t want to waste time, I’m 26. I want to be with someone I can see a future with.”
