After six years, Leanne Amaning is returning to the Love Island villa, jetting off to South Africa in the hopes of finding love for a second time.
The new series kicks off tonight (15th January) as the former Islanders head back to the villa where it all began for them but they will be in for a surprise as they learn the public have been voting…
After a game of Good or No Good, host Maya Jama tells the group: “So, we now know who you think is good or no good for you but what do the public think?”
Revealing to the Islanders that the decision won’t be theirs, Maya continues: “They have decided who they think is good for you and they have coupled you up. I will be back later with the results but in the meantime have a look around, get grafting, get to know each other and I will see you later.”
As we wait to see who Leanne has been coupled up with, read on to find out more about the All Stars Islander.

Leanne Amaning appeared on season 6, the first iteration of winter Love Island back in 2020, and was coupled up with Mike Boateng since day one of the villa before famously developing “the ick”.

What has Leanne Amaning done since Love Island 2020?
Since then, Leanne has appeared on Ex on the Beach and was also reportedly part of the holding cast for last year’s All Stars, but quit the show before entering the villa.
She said at the time: “The more the show went on the less it made sense for me to go in there and the less I wanted to.”
Why is Leanne Amaning returning for Love Island All Stars?
Heading into the villa, Leanne wants to be “open in the way that I should have been in series 6“.
She explained further: “I think I’m older and wiser, six years to be precise! A lot changes, I know what I want now and I’m much more logical and level headed.
“I didn’t even know myself before but now I’m dating from a completely different perspective.”
