The highly anticipated launch of Love Island: All Stars is officially set for tomorrow evening, January 15, 2026, at 9 PM on ITV2 and ITVX. The show, which was initially scheduled to premiere on January 12, faced a postponement due to wildfires in South Africa, prompting the evacuation of the production site.
Wildfires in the Western and Eastern Cape regions of South Africa sparked safety concerns, leading to the decision to delay the show. An ITV spokesperson emphasized that “health and safety is our greatest priority and will always come first,” which guided the choice to reschedule the transmission. Viewers can now look forward to the new season, with an additional episode airing on Saturday, January 17, at 9 PM.
