Charlie first appeared on the ITV dating show in 2018, where his time in the villa was brief after being coupled with Hayley Hughes before his early exit. Producers are said to be eager to bring him back for the spin-off series, which reunites familiar faces from past seasons for another shot at romance.

He reportedly feels his original Love Island experience ended before he could truly show who he was, and believes All Stars offers a chance to rewrite that narrative. Charlie later appeared on Made in Chelsea as Sam Holmes’ close friend, keeping his profile alive in the reality TV world.

After leaving the show, Charlie suggested he may have gone further if he hadn’t been paired with Hayley, comments that sparked public awkwardness between the two. Their strained dynamic became evident during a joint TV appearance, where they avoided sitting together. Hayley later admitted she emotionally withdrew once she no longer saw a future, while Charlie said he felt disappointed but tried not to hold grudges. After their split, he went on to date Instagram model Natalie Clowes.

Producers are said to be in talks with controversial bombshell Yasmin Pettet following her recent breakup, as well as runner-up Ciaran Davies and other standout names from across the franchise. The new All Stars season will once again be filmed in South Africa, with contestants staying for an extended six weeks, setting the stage for old drama, unresolved history, and fresh romances to collide.
