Anton Danyluk – racing series
After entering the villa in 2019, handsome Anton, now 29, sparked a racial row after a picture of him in blackface was blurred out.
The Airdrie gym owner dressed up as A-Team character Mr T for Halloween in 2014, darkening his skin to imitate actor Laurence Tureaud.
The picture was posted on the Facebook page of his gym – The Ranch – and shows Anton posing with other costumed members of a themed “boot camp.”
A caption next to the image reads: “Halloween Boot Camp is on Monday November 3rd this year.”
“It’s entirely up to you if you want to dress up, but if you don’t you might get burpees!!!”
Amid the uproar and calls from fans for him to be banned from the show, Anton's mother defended him online, saying: “As his mother, I know he would be embarrassed if he was labeled.” [as racist] and would sincerely apologize to anyone who is offended by this image.
“There was absolutely no racist intent and almost six years later I know Anton would not behave the same way today.”

Georgia Steel – Catfish
After appearing on the series in 2018, Georgia, 25, was scammed out of thousands of pounds by her con artist boyfriend Medi Abalimba.
She was just 21 when she met him while he was posing as US government agent “Miguel Johnson” at a London nightclub in April 2019.
The fraudster was once a promising £1.2million footballer but later turned to crime to fund his lifestyle when his sporting career ended.
Medi had only been out of prison for a year when he targeted the Love Island star and spent around £32,000 on her credit cards, leaving her physically ill.
He was arrested in September 2019, but by then he had already pounced on his next victim, making Thierry Henry's ex-wife and model Claire Henry swoon by posing as a US Navy Seal.

He conned Claire out of more than £50,000 after raiding her Coutts and HSBC accounts to stay at the Corinthia Hotel in Westminster.
Bills at Corinthia and membership at Al Habtoor Polo Resort in Dubai cost Ms Henry £38,839.11, while Abalimba spent a further £13,000 on “general expenses”.
Mitchel Taylor – Dropped by management
Mitchel was sacked by his management company just two months after leaving the villa last year after being accused of homophobic behavior at a swanky party.
The 27-year-old, who later denied the allegations in a lengthy social media statement, was reportedly forced back to work as a gas engineer after he and island resident Zachariah Noble were accused of abusing a homeless man.
Social media influencer Ashleigh Huish, who attended the event, shared a video on social media in which she called the two reality stars “disgusting pieces of shit” who showed up to the party uninvited.

The 27-year-old, who later denied the allegations in a lengthy social media statement, was reportedly forced back to work as a gas engineer after he was also accused of abusing a homeless man alongside fellow islander Zachariah Noble
In the now-deleted clip, she claimed the stars threw money at a homeless man begging outside on the street and were also “incredibly homophobic” at the event.
A source told Web exclusively about the denial video: “He uploaded a video because he got a lot of criticism this week.”
Added: “His management have parted ways with him. “He's only been out of the villa for two months and they can't take that.”
Georgia Harrison – Revenge Porn Scandal
Georgia, 29, entered the villa in 2017 as the show's final bombshell and enjoyed a short-lived romance with Sam Gowland.
However, in 2020, she became a victim of revenge porn after her ex-partner Stephen Bear shared a video of them having sex that he had secretly filmed on CCTV.
He then posted the footage online and made £2,000 from selling the clip.
After Georgia reported her ex to the police, she began an emotional process that led to Stephen being jailed in March.
Bear is currently serving a 21-month prison sentence after being found guilty of voyeurism and disclosing private, sexual photos and films. He is scheduled to be released before his birthday on January 20th.
When asked if she felt sorry for Bear, she replied, “Yes, I do.” I think he's a really, really lost soul and I think his family should have helped him a long time ago, and he “Wouldn't be where he is now if they took the appropriate steps to take him to his GP and treat him quietly to a mental institution.”

Georgia is calling for better online protection for people and pushing for the Online Safety Act
Asked if she was afraid of his release, Georgia, who has moved back to the flat in Loughton, Essex, where they both once lived, replied: “For the first time in a long time I'm walking down the street without fear.”
“It's not that I was ever afraid that he would attack me, I was just afraid of his presence in general – like he would drive by and see him.”
“But I'm not afraid that he would try to do anything to hurt me in general.” If anything, I think I just fear for his own mental health and safety.
“I don’t know what he’s going to do with his life now because he’s just gone so far beyond helping.”
Luis Morrison – fraud allegations
Luis was believed to have found love with Cally Jane Beech during her appearance on the show in 2015
Two years later, the couple welcomed daughter Vienna
However, Luis denied the allegations and later had a son Romeo with Chloe Elizabeth (pictured) in 2020 before splitting the following year.
Luis was believed to have found love with Cally Jane Beech during her appearance on the show in 2015, before giving birth to daughter Vienna two years later.
However, they split a year later, and Cally accused Luis of “getting together with another girl” just a week later, claiming he “broke her heart” as a result.
She wrote in a lengthy social media post: “Took Luis back when he cheated on me while I was having his baby in hopes of saving my family.” The problem is it takes two to make one . I'll do anything for this little girl. Anyone who knows me knows it!'
However, Luis denied the allegations and later had a son, Romeo, with Chloe Elizabeth in 2020 before splitting the following year.
A source told The Sun that Chloe felt the new father was “not making any effort” with the baby and was instead “always at parties.”
LOVE ISLAND ALL STARS: MEET THE CAST
Liberty Poole
AGE: 24
SERIES: 7
Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? I have much more confidence and know exactly what I want from a relationship. I just want to have fun and meet a lovely boy.
How will you feel if you run into an ex in the villa or someone you've dated since appearing on the show? It's always going to be awkward isn't it, it's always going to be weird to see someone you've been with being with someone else. I wish my ex-partners nothing but the best. I will focus on my own journey.
Kaz Kamwi
AGE: 29
SERIES: 7
Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? To be completely honest, I really want to find love.
I had a great time last series, but I want to have an even better time.
How will you feel if you run into an ex in the villa or someone you previously dated from the series? The thing is: I'm a bad guy, so I'm going to handle this with as much grace as possible.
Georgia Harrison
AGE: 29
SERIES: 3
Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? This is the last year of my 20s so I want to go to the villa, have fun and hopefully meet someone I can fall in love with. I am lucky in the sense that I have everything I could want in my life, apart from love.
If you had to pick your top Islanders from Series 1 to 10, who would they be and why? Chris Taylor, he is hilarious and the main thing that attracts me is a man who can make me laugh. What a funny guy and like I said, I'm looking for someone to do TikTok with so I think he's up for something like that!
Demi Jones
AGE: 25
SERIES: 6
Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? I have lost a lot of self-confidence over the last few years due to my health problems, but this year I trained in the gym, found my self-confidence and got it back. So, let's find a man!
How will you feel if you run into an ex in the villa or someone you've dated since the show? It will be interesting to see if old flames are rekindled. Of course, people cross paths a lot on Love Island and believe me, I have a few paths!
Hannah Elizabeth
AGE: 33
SERIES: 1
Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? I'm returning to the Love Island Villa because I did it eight years ago and what an opportunity I never thought I'd get again. I'm not very good at finding love, but I had fun the first time, so I'll have fun again.
You got engaged last time on the show. Do you think there could be wedding bells again this time? Absolutely not, not in Villa No. Maybe when I get out, but I have to give it some time.
Georgia Steel
AGE: 25
SERIES: 4
Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? I'm 25, I have a house, a cat, a nice car – I have everything in life except a boyfriend, so why not just go for it.
You were brave and honest when you spoke openly about being cheated on by a former partner. How has this experience affected the way you approach dating now?
I now take this experience as a really positive reflection. I look at it as something I had to go through to become stronger and learn things in life so I can learn what I want from my next partner.
Jake Cornish
AGE: 26
SERIES: 7
How will you feel if you run into an ex in the villa or someone you've dated since appearing on the show? Well, there is only one and that is Liberty. There has never been any bad blood between us and everything happens for a reason. In the end we just become two different people.
What will you do differently this time? When it comes to other people's opinions, I am no longer indecisive. This is my way of life now, so I will adopt that into the villa.
Toby Aromolaran
AGE: 24
SERIES: 7
Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? If I'm single and Love Island is a chance for me, how could you turn down the chance to find love again?!
You had a long-term relationship with Chloe Burrows. How do you think she will react when she hears that you are going to the villa? I don't know how she would take it. We will always love each other and I think she would wish me good luck as I would definitely do the same.
Chris Taylor
AGE: 33
SERIES: 9
Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? The last time I was there was only 15 days, so I want to do it again and enjoy it all again. I'm 33 now and making progress slowly – I'm getting ear hair! It would be nice to have a girl to trim my ears!
How was the Barbie movie made? I was invited to an afterparty by Margot Robbie and ended up at an afterparty with her. I panicked and started talking to her just because I was having really stupid conversations. I can only assume that my silly conversation made an impression on Margot Robbie. 18 months later I received an email from Warner Brothers asking if you would like to try out for the role of Ken – it was a whirlwind of emotions.
Luis Morrison
AGE: 29
SERIES: 1
Why are you returning to the famous Love Island villa? It was the best experience of my life. I've found love in the villa before and who knows if I can find love there again?
What will you do differently this time?
I'm much older and wiser, so I know what I'm getting myself into. I don’t have a game plan at all – I’m an open book, so I’ll go with the flow and see what happens.
Anton Danyluk
AGE: 29
SERIES: 5
Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? For me it was a piece of cake. I got the call and it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and probably the best summer I've ever had in my life. Getting the chance to do it twice will be incredible.
Why do you think the Love Island Villa is the perfect place to find love?
I think this time things will be different on Love Island: All Stars as we all understand what it's like to go on Love Island and the only thing missing now is finding a partner.
Mitchell Taylor
AGE: 27
SERIES: 10
Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? I think I went in with my heart and soul the first time and got hurt, and this time I'm just going in to have fun and when a connection is made, a connection is made.
Over the summer you were given the name “Messy Mitch” and a name that you made your own. Can we expect more of this in the series? To be honest, I don't really plan on being Messy Mitch. It just depends on what day of the week it is. I wear my feelings on my sleeve and what you see is what you get. I'm very honest and very opinionated and I think people like me for that. If I don't agree with something, I won't hold back.
