Cornwall’s very own Love Island star Konnor Ewudzi, known as Woodzy, is set to re-enter the villa for All Stars.
Last night’s episode teased three new bombshells, but did not reveal who they were.
Fans were quick to immediately notice Konnor’s tattoos and excitedly took to social media, praising how “sweet” the 30-year-old was on his season.
Rugby player Konnor made his first appearance on Love Island in 2024 and did not find romance.
Last year, it was announced Konnor had returned to his job at St Austell Barber Shop – but now he’s swapping scissors for sunshine in South Africa.
Samie Elishi and AJ Bunker are also poised to enter the villa in tonight’s episode, alongside Konnor, reports the Mirror.
Original Islander Samie, who made it to the final of the 2023 series and had a brief stint on All Stars in 2025, is getting a third opportunity.
After the teaser aired, fans took to X to share their thoughts.
Umar said: “Guys the bombshell is Konnor! He was so sweet last time really nice guy ! I remember Grace was not nice to him lol but yeah he’s sound! (the v tattoo).”

Chelsea tweeted: “Let me tell you I serve Konnor Ewudzi from time to time at work and he is FIT AF in real life.”
Discussing the new bombshells, who are reportedly already causing disruption in the villa, a source told The Sun: “As always, bombshell casting is tactical and these three are on a mission to shake up the villa with certain Islanders in mind.”
They added: “All three deserve a proper crack at finding love after a tricky series before.”
Samie, who had a brief romance with Made In Chelsea’s Sam Thompson last year, has featured twice previously on Love Island – initially entering as a bombshell in the 2023 series and securing third place with Tom Clare. However, the couple had an unexpected split just months after returning to Britain.

Both Tom and Samie featured in All Stars 2 in January 2025, with Samie making a bombshell entrance on day 22. However, her stint was short-lived as she was ousted from the island after just five days.
AJ joined the seventh series of the show, entering the villa on Day 17, only to be dumped six days later.
After an unsuccessful quest for love on the show, she pivoted to boxing and officially launched her ambitious career in 2022.
Competing in the featherweight division, she’s well-equipped to handle any potential drama.

St Austell’s Konnor, on the other hand, managed to woo Grace Jackson away from Joey Essex, before ending up in a “friendship couple” with the Manchester-based model.
His luck took a turn for the worse in Casa Amor after he paired up with Emma Milton, who also ended up dumping him. Konnor’s romantic prospects seemed to be looking up when bombshell Lolly Hart entered the villa.
However, their time together was cut short when they were voted one of the least compatible pairs in a public vote.
