Love Island: All Stars fans were not too impressed within seconds of the ITV show airing.
The sexy-sun-soaked dating was back on screens on Monday (January 15) for its first-ever All Stars series. Fronted by Maya Jama, 12 iconic islanders headed back into the villa for a second chance at love.
However within seconds, fans were kicking off online with many claiming the intro was “unnecessary” and “long.” For the new series, host Maya walked down a corridor that was decorated with pictures of past Islanders that found love on the show.

Then each 2024 All Stars Islander was shown before striking up a pose – but fans were not impressed. On X, formerly on Twitter, fumed: “Just keep to the normal love island intro what is this??”
A second penned: “Is this long of an intro necessary.” A third then quipped: “How long are they gonna drag this intro on for omds.” Someone else wrote: “why we doin all the intros we know who tf they are.”
Elsewhere on the show, things took an awkward turn when one of the Islanders tried to crack on with host Maya. In the episode, the new line-up can be seen relaxing before Maya joins them in the villa.
Strutting her stuff in a slashed white frock, Maya looked sensational slashed dress. She took a seat beside Anton, who appeared on the show in 2019, at the fire pit, but things soon took an awkward turn.
Flustered, Anton quickly whipped out a bottle of breath spray and squirted it into his mouth. Not having any of it, Maya then quipped: “Don’t do that, Anton!” She then tried to move on from his cringe-inducing acts.

A shocked Liberty caught Jake’s eye as he walked in with Chris, and before breathing a word Barbie actor Chris said: “Well this is a fantastic start isn’t it. You’re going to have to have it out.”
At the end of the couples it was revealed which Islanders the public had chosen to couple up with. Chris is with Demi, Luis is coupled with Georgia H, Toby is with Georgia S and Anton is coupled with Hannah Elizabeth. Meanwhile exes Jake is coupled with Liberty and Mitch is coupled with Kaz.
