The Love Island: All Stars has been hit by its biggest twist yet, with Harriett Blackmore set for a bombshell return to the villa… with a few scores to settle.
The series 11 star is set to join 2023 hunk Montal McKenzie as the latest arrivals, with Harriett determined to confront ex Ronnie about the end of their romance, as well as his secret messages with fellow Islander Olivia Hawkins.
Harriett had previously started a romance with Ronnie during their time in the villa last year, but split in September amid claims that he cheated on her.
Since he entered the All Stars villa, Ronnie admitted to sending co-star Olivia flirty messages despite being in a relationship.
Now, Ronnie is in a couple with TOWIE’s Elma Pazar, 31, but their blossoming romance could be under threat following Harriett’s explosive return.
Discussing her decision to return to the villa, Harriett said: ‘I think that my last time in the Villa was cut too short so I think I deserve a second chance, I’m looking forward to it!’

But despite viewers’ hopes that Harriett will confront Ronnnie about his behaviour, she insisted she’s focused on a finding a new connection during her time in the villa.
She added: ‘Explore new connections… but I definitely need to have a conversation with Ronnie though, I think that’s important. I don’t know how I’m going to feel when I see him, I haven’t seen him in months, we last spoke in September.’
Montel departed the Love Island villa after a turbulent romance with Leah Taylor, which saw him stray during his time in Casa Amor, where he enjoyed a kiss with Tink Reading.
Although he and Leah were dumped from the villa as a couple, their romance quickly fizzled out on the outside.
Asked why he’s heading back into the villa, Montel said: ‘I want to find love and Love Island is the best environment to find that.’
‘I think people thought I was a bit boring or not that talkative, but there was just no drama for me.
‘Some people like to talk up when there’s loads of people in the room to be the loudest. I’m not going to compete with someone and speak the loudest. I’m just chill.’
Harriett’s return comes after Bad Boyfriends host Olivia Attwood revealed on her Instagram stories that she had seen the messages between Ronnie and Olivia.

Olivia said the All Stars contestant even jokingly PH๏τoshopped her face onto an image of Harriett holding her hands with Ronnie while they were still in a relationship.
Presenter Olivia, who starred on Love Island in 2017, has the inside story because her husband Bradley Dack is Ronnie’s best friend.
Harriett has already reacted to Ronnie’s confession, posting an image of herself wearing a see-through black bodysuit alongside the caption: ‘Best thing you never had.’
Love Island: All Stars continues on Thursday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
