Former Dulwich Hamlet footballer Ronnie Vint is set to make a return to the villa as the hit reality series launches its 2025 edition of Love Island: All Stars.
The show kicks off on Monday 13 January, bringing back some of its most memorable contestants for another chance at romance.
Hosted by Maya Jama, the series will once again take place in South Africa, promising drama, excitement, and unexpected twists.
Ronnie Vint, who originally appeared in series 11, left the villa last year with partner Harriet, and the pair initially seemed happy together. However, Vint, who hails from Greenwich, revealed that their relationship ultimately didn’t last.
Speaking to ITV, he reflected on his previous experience and what he’s hoping for this time around. “I learnt so much from my experience last time. I left with Harriett and from the time we left, I thought it was going well, but obviously, it ended. In the villa, I was always in ‘triangles’ and whatnot, but I feel like I’ve grown up a lot since then.”
He added, “So, not in a bad way to Harriett, but I’m in a good position to find someone now and move on. I thought it was going to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience but now it’s happening again!”
Before finding fame on reality TV, Vint made a name for himself on the football pitch. From 2020 to 2022, he played as a defender for Dulwich Hamlet FC during a three-season loan spell. Before that, he spent a decade with Dartford and, in 2023, moved to Lewes FC as a centre-back.
Looking ahead to his second stint in the villa, Vint hinted at a more focused approach to relationships this time around. When asked what he’d be doing differently, he quipped, “Hopefully less triangles…” and said he’s hoping to meet someone who has his “best interests at heart.”
The show kicks off at 9pm on Monday 13 January and will air every evening on ITV2 and ITVX.
