LOVE Island fans are convinced one All Stars hunk is “holding back” amid rumours his ex will soon enter the villa.
Viewers of the ITV2 series have called out one show star, part of the OG 2026 line-up, for failing to find a spark during his first few days in the villa.
Now Love Island All Stars fans reckon Ciaran Davies has one eye on Emily Moran‘s return.
Ciaran saw sparks fly with Nicole Samuel during his series, with the pair’s love story capturing the hearts of the nation in summer 2024.
Yet the pair split in December 2024 shortly after revealing their plans to start a family.
Since then, we reported how the Welsh rugby lad and Emily Moran, a 2025 show alum, looked smitten with each other as they stepped out in Manchester for a double date.
Yet after their split fans are convinced the brunette beauty, who we reported was in talks for All Stars, will walk in.
One took to Reddit to post: “Some people on TikTok and Instagram think Ciaran is holding back because Emily might come in.”
Another mused: “Sean is only getting play cause he’s the only boy that’s really grafting.
“Like think about it none of the other boys are really putting themselves out there.”
Ciaran was initially paired with Millie Court during the first coupling up of the series.
Yet he was then left single after Konnor chose to partner up with her.
Single boys Charlie and Ciaran then got a text telling them that two bombshells in the villa’s Hideaway waiting for them.
Stunning bombshells Samie Elishi and AJ Bunker were there waiting for them, with the quartet enjoying a double date.
During a game of truth or date, AJ kissed Ciaran as she made it clear he was the islander she fancies most.
FAN CONCERN
Yet fans of the series were less than impressed by their snog.

They told how they were left “uncomfortable” by the pair’s 10-year age gap.
The 33-year-old new arrival’s kiss with Welsh lad Ciaran, who turned 23 earlier this week, had many questioning whether she’s really looking for love on the show.
After watching the moment, fans were quick to pick up on their decade-long age gap.
One wrote: “Okay sorry but I can’t get on board with 33 year old AJ necking newly 23 Ciaran.”
“Aj … you’re 30?? Kissing a 23 year old is insane,” said a second fan.
After returning to the main villa, AJ told her fellow islanders that she wished she had actually picked 31-year-old Charlie to kiss instead.
She added that she’s looking for “a man not a boy” this time around on the show.
AJ first appeared on Love Island back in 2021, appearing alongside co-star Millie Court, who eventually won the show.
