A LOVE Island winner has taken a swipe at All Stars and insisted “you can’t keep bringing people back”.
The success of the main series resulted in the spin-off show airing for the first time last year, with stars returning for a second stint at finding love.
However, series two winner Cara De La Hoyde has admitted she doesn’t think the formula works as ITV will soon run out of personalities that fans actually want on the show.
She said: “I love [All Stars], but I’m just worried about who they can bring back that people are going to be gagging to see, and who is actually gonna want to do it.
“Obviously you’ve got people like Ovie [Soko] and Maura [Higgins], but let’s be realistic, they’re not going to do it.
“They’re doing big things in their career, they’re doing amazing things.
“I haven’t watched it properly since Dani [Dyer] and Jack [Fincham], which was season four, so I know there’s been loads of Love Islanders since.”
The mum-of-two, who is working with Slingo’s AR Rooftop Chase, continued: “Obviously the younger generation will probably be gagging to see certain people, but out of the people I know, I don’t know who I would still want to see now, or who would be willing to do it.
“The thing is with a show like All Stars, there is a limit because you can’t just keep bringing people back.
“Even when you watch Drag Race and things like that, the All Stars at the beginning, you’re like, ‘oh my God, Alaska’s in it, this is amazing’, and then it gets to season 14, and it doesn’t have the same impact.”
Cara shot to fame on the second series back in 2016 and went on to win the show with Nathan Massey.
Nearly a decade on, the pair are very much still together and are a testament to the show’s success.
The couple tied the knot back in 2019 and are parents to children Freddie-George and Delilah.
The main series of Love Island has aired twelve instalments so far, with two series of All Stars having aired on ITV2.
The Maya Jama fronted show aired it’s first All Stars edition last year, with series nine star Tom Clare and series six alum Molly Smith going on to win the show.
The two are still together and announced their engagement in September this year.
Third place couple Josh Ritchie and Sophie Piper, who starred on series one and series six respectively, are also still an item.
The second series of All Stars aired in January and February this year, with the only remaining couple being Luca Bish and Grace Jackson.
The success of the show has spawned an entire franchise, with international instalments airing in 23 countries, including the USA, Australia and Brazil.
Another spin-off, titled Love Island: Games, was also introduced, with ex-contestants from all over the world coming together to take part in challenges as well as to find love.
The most recent series was won by Lucinda Strafford, who first starred on series seven of the UK show before going on to star on the Australian version also.
