Two new bombshells are set to arrive in the villa during Wednesday night’s Love Island All Stars.

Sammy Root, 23, and Danielle Sellers, 29, will spice things up after Kaz Crossley, Montel McKenzie and Nas Majeed were all sent home on Tuesday in a shock mass dumping.

Series 10 contestant Sammy, who stars on TOWIE, will enter the South African villa on Wednesday’s episode and immediately ruffle feathers. 

Sammy bagged the cash prize after winning the series alongside Jess Harding but called off their romance soon after they returned home.

Speaking about his fresh chance at love, Sammy explained: ‘It did work out for me the first time, but things changed when I left the Villa. Hopefully this time round, I’ll leave with a relationship that goes the distance. 

‘Last time I was very much a boy and was immature at times in terms of not thinking about my actions beforehand. 

‘Now looking back, I feel like I’ve changed a lot and I’d like to think I’ve grown from a boy to a gentleman.’

Danielle, who appeared in series three, is looking to find the man of her dreams as she returns.

After appearing on the show as a bombshell in Casa Amor last time, Danielle is hoping she finds more luck this time round.

She said: ‘I was a lot younger going in the first time, I was 21! 

‘I entered during Casa Amor and lots of the boys were in strong couples! 8 years on, I’m older and know what I want, so I’m going to just go for it!’

During the episode, Maya Jama revealed that the public have been voting for their favourite Islanders and the two boys and one girl with the fewest votes will be packing their bags.

It’s the biggest dump of the series yet and the three evictees have already left the villa. 

Things get off to an encouraging start in the next instalment of the ITV series when Curtis Pritchard, 28, receives a very pleasant invitation. 

A text read: ‘Islanders, it’s time to put on your best fit and get ready to leave the Villa, as you’re off to an exclusive All Stars party. #VibeClub #WKD0%’ 

The afternoon out acted as the trigger for various couples to have some very serious conversations, including Harriet Blackmore, 24, who opted against recoupling with her ex Ronnie Vint, 28, after she entered the island as a bombshell last week.

They got together last year during the 11th series of the hit show but things fizzled out for the pair with allegations of cheating being made.

Harriet looks to set the record straight, telling the footballer: ‘I feel like we haven’t actually spoken about the reason we finished on the outside. Everyone’s asking me, I need to speak about it with you…you pretty much cheated on me.’ 

But the deep chats are cut short on Maya’s arrival, as the glamorous host said: ‘Sorry to crash the party…can you all line up in front of me please?’

She added: ‘Islanders I’m glad you’ve been having a bit of fun, but things are obviously about to get serious. The public have been voting for their favourite girl and their favourite boy.’

Elsewhere, the Hideaway Retreat opened up to the show’s stars for the first time this year, but only two lucky contestants got to spend the night there. 

Kaz Crossley, 30, received the exciting news by text, reading: ‘Islanders, tonight the Hideaway Retreat is open. Please choose a lucky couple to spend the night together #DND #AloneAtLast’ 

The group decide that Dawn Allen, 32, and Casey O’Gorman, 28, deserved a chance to get closer to one another in the Hideaway and the pair soon get ready to head off.

Casey told the boys, ‘The nerves are kicking in!’, whilst Gabby revealed to the girls, ‘I’m so excited.’

They arrive at the Hideaway to a bottle of bubbles and chocolate-covered strawberries. As they relax in bed, Gabby joked to Casey: ‘I wish you had your speedos on, that’s when you’re at your best self!’

The next day Casey told Nas Majeed, 28, and Curtis: ‘Not to blow my own trumpet but best night of my whole entire Love Island career!’

On Monday evening Ronnie was left doubting a potential future with Harriett after hearing a comment from fellow islander Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. 

Moments earlier Ronnie appeared to patch things up with his former girlfriend as they shared a kiss in the villa’s secret garden – during which he played his ace card. 

‘I thought I’d take you away from the dramas and come here… I brought your best mate with me,’ he told her. 

Ronnie revealed he’d hidden her toy bunny Flopsy in the garden as a kind gesture, adding: ‘It’s just us three, I’ve missed you both.’

He added: ‘I just have always loved you and I wanna act on it now and do it the right way… different to last time.’

Concerned about his connection to fellow contestant Elma Pazar, 32, a dubious Harriett replied: ‘Do you think you can still do that with Elma here cause I know that maybe you didn’t handle the situation the best…’

Ronnie cut in: ‘The way I feel about you, I couldn’t hide that or lie.’

Ronnie had previously admitted to still having strong feelings for Harriett after she arrived as a late Bombshell. 

Love Island: All Stars continues on ITV2 at 9:00pm.
