The first episode of Love Island All Stars premiered tonight (January 15) and the drama was ramped up immediately as the show introduced former couple Molly Smith and Callum Jones to the villa.
Molly and Callum met during Casa Amor on the show's first winter version of Love Island back in 2020. The couple exited the show after 38 days in the villa and then became one of the series' longest-lasting and strongest couples.
They spent three years together – and even share two dogs – before they announced that they had split up last year. Now, however, they have been thrust back into each other's presence in episode one of Love Island All Stars.

The bombshell in question ended up being none other than his ex girlfriend Molly herself. The episode ended on a cliffhanger, with Callum about to make his decision. Who will he choose?
