Love Island fans will be given the power to choose which contestants will couple up in the first episode of the upcoming All Stars series.

The first ever All Stars series will bring back previous islanders in the hope of finding love again in the villa.

They include stars such as Georgia Harrison, Chris Taylor, Liberty Poole and Toby Aromolaran.

Harrison, who originally appeared on series three, has said her time on the upcoming show filmed in South Africa, will be a welcome break after spending the last few years “fighting for myself and other women” against revenge porn and violence.

The TV star, 29, has been campaigning for sexual assault victims to be prioritised more within the justice system after her ex-boyfriend Stephen Bear was jailed last year for posting intimate footage of her online without her consent.

The TV personality also hopes she can translate her campaigning role into the villa by supporting her fellow female contestants if they are being “mugged off or feeling a bit down or lacking confidence within themselves”.

She said her experience has made her “slightly less trusting” of dating and men but feels this could help guide her to someone who will treat her better.

“I really want to be more aware of the partners that I’m giving time to and really just look out for red flags,” she added.

“So it’s probably made me slightly less trusting but it’s also made me far more attracted to qualities that I weren’t attracted to in the past.

“If I can see a man being patient, kind, thoughtful, caring, honest, those things really turn me on now.

“Whereas before I would never have took something like that into account.”

Voting for the couples is now open for free via the Love Island app.

Fans can only vote once before the deadline on Friday at 9pm.

Love Island: All-Stars will launch on ITV1, ITV2 and ITVX and STV on January 15 at 9pm, with Maya Jama returning to host.
