The latest episode of Love Island: All Stars aired on February 10, 2025, continuing the season’s developments. The show brings back former contestants for another chance to find a connection in the villa. However, as the season progresses, several Islanders have chosen to leave or withdraw from the show before entering.
Leanne explained her decision in a TikTok video posted on February 8, 2025, stating that she had filmed her introduction videos and stayed in the holding villa for two weeks before making her choice.
“The more the show went on, the less sense it made for me to go in there. And the less I wanted to. Long story short, I’m back [in the UK],” she said.
