The ITV dating show will return this winter to the villa in Cape Town, South Africa with a host of fan favourite Islanders from previous series, and producers are keen to do all they can to get people tuning in.

An insider told The Sun newspaper's TVBiz column: "'Love Island' bosses want to make sure they’re out of the ratings slump when winter rolls around for All Stars.

“They are working out ways to give the show a real kick and to make the format have a lasting impact on viewers.

"At the moment it’s all just an open discussion and there are lots of ideas being put forward."

While the idea of having "old rivals" clashing once more, bosses are keen to embrace the chaos with "some fresh faces".

The source added: “Naturally, there is potential for old rivals to have it out on screen and to put old love triangles back into play.

"But some fresh faces could bring a twist. Will old hands stick with who they coupled up with before, for maximum impact, or risk everything for someone they actually fancy?

“It would really test out that argument that people now just use Love Island for fame."

It's said to be an "exciting" prospect for the team, who are reportedly considering any and all ideas.

The insider said: "It’s all very exciting for the team who are working on it because nothing is off the table.”

'Love Island All Stars' is set to air in January instead of the usual winter series, while Maya Jama is poised to return as host.

It's been reported that the likes of Maura Higgins and Sophie Piper have been approached by bosses as they try to deliver a stacked line up.
