LOVE Island ‘villain’ Olivia Hawkins is set to join the upcoming All Stars series after her ‘toxic’ row and villa feuds.
Olivia, 29, became a polarising figure during her time in the villa last year, earning a reputation for her fiery confrontations and headline-grabbing drama.

Her infamous bust-ups with fellow Islanders divided viewers, making her one of the most talked-about contestants of her season.
And it looks like fans can brace themselves for another rollercoaster ride of love and chaos as she’s set to return in the New Year.
A source said: “Olivia was the breakout star of her series – love her or loathe her, fans couldn’t stop talking about her.
“Bosses have been keen to get her to sign up for the next series of All Stars.

“She was almost in the mix for the last All Stars in January and it didn’t quite work out, but this time around she is at the top of the wishlist.
“Producers are confident she will bring plenty of drama and conflict, which is just what viewers want.”
With mere months to go until the format returns to the small screen, it’s no wonder anticipation is building.
Another TV source added: “Fans are itching to know who is going back into the Villa.
“Love Island: All Stars first series was the gift that kept on giving, so viewers know it’s going to be another knock out series with some brilliant names back in the mix.
“Year after year Love Island proves why it’s the UK’s biggest dating show – there’s so much excitement and we’re still months away from it even being on air.”
Earlier this year, Liv – who appeared on the winter series in January in 2023 – revealed she’d be up for going back as an All Star.
When asked by The Sun if she would consider making a return, she said: “Yes absolutely! I’ve heard they’re doing another All Stars next year so I’d love to go on that!”
The Brighton-native also shared her advice for the new Islanders, saying: “Be yourself. What a cliche but be confident and when you go in, don’t think too deeply into the friendships.
“When I first went in I held onto my friendships and loyalties and didn’t play the field because I just stuck with whoever I was with.
“Play the field for weeks! You’ve only just met these people.”
The ring girl initially coupled up with Kai Fagan before the Casa Amor twist hit and she ended up with Maxwell Samuda.
Olivia and Maxwell left the villa together but they split just weeks later.
Love Island All Stars 2025 rumours
Love Island All Stars will be back for its second series in 2025 – and rumours are already rife as to who will be making a comeback this time around.
After the second All Stars series was announced in May, show boss Mike Spender said: “Lots of people have been in contact about it, lots of fun people, from series one onwards.
“We cast it because we knew what was going on behind the scenes of who was getting with who and now even more stories have come out.
“I think we will now save ex-islanders for All Stars.”
One rumoured name for the next series is data engineer Harry Baker.
Harry, 25, arrived in the villa as a bombshell in Series 11. He soon ‘stole’ Grace Jackson after making his debut.
Arriving late in the run, he only lasted for a few days before being dumped alongside Lola Deloca.
Despite the hunk’s brief stint, viewers have called for Harry’s return.
One upset fan wrote: “Get you in All Stars next”, to which Harry cryptically replied by posting ‘shrugging’ emojis.
