Wildfires Postpone Popular TV Series

Filming for Love Island: All Stars 2026 has been postponed after the villa in South Africa was evacuated due to ongoing wildfires. The third series of the popular spin-off was originally set to premiere on Monday.

A statement from ITV said health and safety is their top priority, and as a result the transmission of Love Island: All Stars will be delayed until a date to be confirmed. Authorities in the Western Cape have been working with the South African Air Force to contain several fire-related incidents in the area.

The show, hosted by Maya Jama, brings back former contestants for another shot at love. This year’s line-up includes two previous winners, Jess Harding and Millie Court, alongside Jack Keating, the son of Irish singer Ronan Keating, and other notable names such as Belle Hassan, Charlie Frederick, Ciaran Davies, Helena Ford, Leanne Amaning, Sean Stone, Shaq Muhammad, Tommy Bradley, and Whitney Adebayo.

Fans had been looking forward to the start of the series, following the success of last summer’s regular season which drew over 2.6 million viewers for its premiere. Despite the delay, excitement remains high for the All Stars format as former Islanders return to the villa for a second chance at romance.
