Love Island star Liberty Poole has teased an “awkward” reunion with ex-boyfriend Jake Cornish.
The reality star, 24, first entered the villa during series seven in 2021 and immediately fell for Jake. But as their journey continued, fans became less convinced of Jake’s feelings for Liberty.
In a shocking twist, the couple split and decided to leave the villa just days before the final. Now, the exes are set to be reunited as they have both been confirmed for the All Stars series.

Asked how she feels about coming face to face with an ex, the blonde beauty said: “It’s always going to be awkward isn’t it, it’s always going to be weird seeing someone that you’ve been with getting with someone else. I wish my exes nothing but the best.”
Liberty added: “I’m going to be focused on my own journey so if it was to happen I won’t be worrying about them – so I’ll stay focussed on my goal, which is to find love.” In response to the same question, Jake said: “Well there is only one and that’s Liberty.
“We never ended with any bad blood between us and everything happens for a reason. We just become two different people in the end.” A show insider claimed that Jake is aware of the “making up” he needs to do.
The source said: “Jake knows he has some making up to do second time round and will have more reason to be on guard as Liberty’s best pal Kaz Kamwi will be by her side. There will be no room for messing up even if he does attempt to recouple with Liberty.
“Liberty and Jake had an extremely awkward reunion on Aftersun at the end of their series but it will be nothing compared to discovering they will be living in the same house for weeks on end.”
After series seven ended, there were rumours Liberty and Jake had reunited and attempted to give things another go. The source confirmed these claims were false, adding: “The truth is they’ve not seen each other for years so things are going to get very uncomfortable.
“Living with your ex is a nightmare scenario for anyone but when the break-up was as explosive as this one, bosses are predicting Liberty and Jake’s villa return will make for compelling viewing.”
