Ciaran Davies in Talks for Love Island All Stars Series in South Africa

Ciaran Davies, a prominent figure from the reality series Love Island, is reportedly in discussions to join the upcoming All Stars series set to be filmed in South Africa. The latest season is anticipated to premiere in January 2026, offering returning contestants another opportunity to find love.

Davies rose to fame during the 2024 season, where he finished as the runner-up alongside his then-girlfriend Nicole Samuels. Their relationship, although captivating for viewers, did not endure beyond their time in the villa. A source informed The Sun that Davies was a “huge fan favourite” and his romantic journey with Samuels was a significant storyline. The insider added, “He’s in super early talks to appear on All Stars.”

As discussions progress, Davies has also sparked romance rumors with fellow contestant Emily Moran, who participated in this year’s summer series. They recently posted images from the same location in Cardiff, suggesting they may have been spending time together. Despite both having faced challenges in finding lasting connections during their respective seasons, their recent interactions hint at a potential budding relationship.

According to sources, Davies reached out to Moran after she was eliminated from the show, initially to congratulate her on her performance. As they continued to communicate, their relationship appears to have developed romantically. The insider noted, “Both have been getting to know each other on a more romantic level and they’re looking to see how things go.”

In addition to Davies, other participants are rumored to be joining the All Stars series. Previous winner Jess Harding, along with fan favorites Alima Gagigo and Andrada Pop, are reportedly in talks with ITV to return. Harding won the show in 2023 alongside her partner Sammy Root, who is now featured on The Only Way Is Essex.

Gagigo and Pop both left a significant mark on the most recent season, with Pop notably involved in a dramatic love triangle that captivated audiences. A source mentioned that “it’s very early days,” but the network is keen to bring back contestants that resonate well with viewers.

The All Stars series aims to reunite popular contestants for a chance at love, while also drawing in an audience eager for familiar faces. Fans can expect the return of Maya Jama as the host, continuing her role in guiding the series.

With negotiations still ongoing, fans will be watching closely for official announcements regarding the cast. The upcoming season promises to deliver the excitement and drama that has become synonymous with the Love Island franchise, as contestants seek new romantic connections in the vibrant backdrop of South Africa.
