A FORMER Love Island star who dated an England footballer is being lined up to storm the South African villa as a bombshell.
The long-awaited Love Island All Stars spin-off kicks off tonight, with the likes of Georgia Harrison and Jake Cornish having signed up for another chance at romance.
Host Maya Jama is ready and waiting to welcome the former Islanders to the villa and, while the initial line-up has been revealed, fans can look forward to the usual bombshell twists.
One person in talks to make a late entrance is series five star Joanna Chimonides.
The Sun can exclusively reveal that Joanna, 27, is in advance stages to sign up for the show.

A TV insider told us: "Joanna is in talks to join as a bombshell - she’s so stunning that the lads won’t be able to stop their heads turning for her!
"She’ll cause chaos if she goes in - she’s best mates with Kady McDermott so will be ready for any drama that happens in the villa."
During her time in the villa in 2019 Joanna got close to Michael Griffiths, who even dumped his then-partner Amber Gill for her.
But their romance was cut short when Joanna was sent packing.
Before finding fame on Love Island, Joanna dated England and Chelsea footballer Ben Chilwell for around a year when he was an up-and-coming star at Leicester City.
They split in 2018 and Joanna turned up in the villa a year later - reportedly leaving Ben, 27, fuming.
Another former star has sparked rumours he's heading to South Africa to surprise the Islanders after being spotted at Gatwick airport.
Chuggs Wallis shared a conveniently-timed snap of him at the British Airways desk and joked about needed extra leg room on the plane.
