The Ex-Islanders return to vote

The return of the eliminated Love Island All Stars Islanders created an atmosphere of tension and anticipation in the villa. India, Olivia, Marcel, Kaz, Montel, Nas, Ron, Danielle, Samie, Tina, and Chuggs were tasked with voting for one couple from the bottom three.

Each of them explained their reasons for their choices, and the votes were cast for various reasons, including compatibility, past confrontations, and personal opinions on the couples’ dynamics. Olivia’s vote ensued drama when she mentioned texts she had allegedly seen from Grace, in which Grace suggested she would do anything to win.

Despite her concerns about Grace, Olivia still voted for Harriett and Ronnie, believing they were the least compatible couple in the villa. Ron, meanwhile, cited confrontations and the age gap between Elma and Sammy as his reasons for voting against them.
