Love Island All Stars viewers are left speechless over ‘worst’ talent show in villa history as Ekin-Su Culculoglu wins a VERY steamy night in the Hideaway thanks to her surprise skills

Love Island All Stars viewers were in shock at the array of talents on offer during Thursday night’s episode, with some dubbing it the ‘worst’ talent show in villa history.

Over the years ITV2 viewers have been treated to talent show classics like Indiyah Polack’s recorder playing, Chris Hughes and Kem Cetinay’s impressive rapping and Millie Court’s piano performance.

But the Islanders on the 2025 series managed to whip up some new skills for their take on the traditional talent show challenge, including acrobatics, balloon animals and even cake icing. 

Harriett kicked things off, wowing as a cheerleader with her acrobatic dislay, with viewers impressed with her signature move – the splits.

Next up was Omar who inexplicably donned a cowboy hat to show off some balloon art. A shy Gabby tap danced before Sammy performed some circus skills with the help of Casey. 

A nervous Elma fought her fears to play Ed Sheeran classic Perfect on the violin before Catherine showed off her cake decorating skills whilst Luca got the Villa dancing by belting out a song from The Wanted.

Ronnie had a kick about with a football whilst Curtis, of course, treated the Islanders to an iconic mix of his dancing styles from Cha Cha to Samba and breakdancing.

Viewers were left speechless at the chaotic night, with one tweeting: ‘This is a mess. I am entertained’, whilst another declared: ‘this is the worst talent show I’ve ever seen.’

‘I’m crying this is full on TV GOLD,’ agreed another. ‘None of the islanders have a pinch of talent.’

Others though were actually impressed with Ekin-Su’s keyboard skills, with one posting on X, formerly known as Twitter that it was ‘so beautiful. genuinely moved.’

At the end of the show, the Islanders voted Ekin-Su the winner of the talent show meaning she won a night in the Hideaway with beau Curtis, much to their excitement.

It wasn’t all fun and games for the villa on Thursday’s episode as Elma and Curtis’ very bitter feud rumbled on.

The pair have been at each other for most of this week after Curtis’ partner Ekin-Su kissed Elma’s partner Sammy in the heart rate challenge.

As Elma has continued to hit out at Ekin-Su, Curtis has come to her defence, leading him to clash with Elma.

The next installment saw Elma and Ekin-Su attempt to reconcile before Curtis then overheard Elma talking badly about him yet again.

Love Island All Stars continues at 9pm on ITV2.
