Ella Thomas has broken her silence on a potential return to the Love Island villa for the second running All Stars series, with host Maya Jama welcoming back some familiar faces.
The Scottish reality star, 24, was forced to address mounting speculations after she posted a teasing snap to her Instagram of new suitcases. “Ready for my next trip,” she wrote sparking a frenzy online.
Sadly it doesn’t look like it will be the South African villa to take part in the ITV dating series, as she later returned to Instagram to squash any rumours of her return.
One fan suggested ‘All stars honey,’ as Ella shared the response and wrote: “The amount of you guys guessing this,” alongside a cry and laughing emoji. “I swear I was just in Cape Town for a holiday lool.”
Glasgow-born Ella and Tyrique Hyde came third place on the 2023 series, with winners Sammy and Jess having parted ways after just two months.
Although Ella and Ty’s romance lasted a while outside the villa, they called things quits in February last year. However according to a source at the time, it wasn’t the first time as the pair allegedly also split three months after the show ended.
“Ella and Tyrique have decided it’s time to go their separate ways. They have such love for each other, but they often struggle to get along and as viewers saw in the villa, they’re always arguing,” a source told Mail Online following the news of their split.

The source continued: “This time, things have ended badly and they have both removed all recent photographs of each other from their respective Instagram profiles, as well as all Snapchat content. They have unfollowed each other as well. It certainly feels like this breakup is final.”
Tyrique lashed out previously at the time at online trolls who took aim to his relationship with Ella. He said on Capital Xtra: “Our relationship is between us, what goes on behind closed doors, it’s only us two.”
He continued: “But people like to put in their little input in the DMs sometimes, in the request on the social media. It’s jarring. I don’t know what they’re trying to do, I think they’re just sitting at home with their Twitter fingers going crazy.”
