Love Island legend teases epic return to the villa – days before new series launches
A LOVE Island star has teased an epic return to the villa – just days before the launch of the new series.
Love Island returns in June and The Sun recently revealed bosses are planning a major shake-up to the first episode.

Now Liv Hawkins, who appeared on the winter series in January in 2023, has revealed she’d be up for going back as an All Star, following the successful spin-off earlier this year.
When asked by The Sun if she would consider making a return, she said: “Yes absolutely! I’ve heard they’re doing another All Stars next year so I’d love to go on that!”
Liv also shared her advice for the new Islanders – after we revealed Welsh rugby hunk Ciaran Davies as the first confirmed new star.
She said: “Be yourself. What a cliche but be confident and when you go in, don’t think too deeply into the friendships.
“When I first went in I held onto my friendships and loyalties and didn’t play the field because I just stuck with whoever I was with.
“Play the field for weeks! You’ve only just met these people.”
Liv initially coupled up with Kai Fagan before the Casa Amor twist hit and she ended up with Maxwell Samuda.
She and Maxwell left the villa together but they split just weeks later.
This week The Sun revealed bosses plan to launch the dating show simultaneously across ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX for the first time ever.
A source said: “ITV want to throw their weight behind Love Island and make sure it has a big, glitzy moment when the 11th series kicks off next month.
“Showing it across every channel means creating what they hope will be a big TV moment. It shows there is still a real commitment to the format even nine years on.”
