A Look Back At Samie Elishi’s Love Island History

Love Island All Stars is officially back – and we’re already off to a dramatic start with wild fires delaying the launch date, a fairly explosive first coupling, and a bombshell drop for the ages.

It was revealed at the end of the first episode that none other than veteran islander Scott Van Der Sluis was entering the villa… again – his fourth time on the show.

It remains to be seen whether the fourth time will be a charm for Scott, but he isn’t the only former contestant who’s decided to take their Love Island experience to the next level.

At the end of last night’s episode, it was revealed that three more bombshells were set to enter the villa: Konnor Ewudzi, AJ Bunker, and Samie Elishi. 

This will be Samie’s third time in the villa, and listen, good for her, why not?

Here’s a run down of her Love Island experience so far.

2023 – main series

Samie’s first time on Love Island was in 2023. She entered the ninth series of the show as a bombshell and made it all the way to the final with ex Tom Clare.

The pair finished third and went on to make their relationship official, until they split a month after leaving the villa.

Tom later went on to win the first series of Love Island All Stars with Molly Smith. The pair are now engaged and plan to marry soon.

2025 – All Stars series

Samie’s last stint in the villa was actually last year, when she appeared on All Stars as a bombshell.

She entered the villa on day 22 and was unceremoniously dumped from the villa after just five days.

Samie says she’s back again because she didn’t get a chance at love the last time. “I’ve grown up so much since series nine and my last time on All Stars you didn’t get to really see that,” she said.

“I want the audience to see how much I’ve grown and hopefully actually see me in a nice situation, coupled up with someone. ”

And as for her dream couple? This time she’s looking for, “an actual man, not a boy.”

Get it, girl.
