A FORMER Love Islander has signed up to the new All Stars series after splitting from her England star ex.
Apparently gearing up to throw the villa into total chaos, Grace Jackson, who appeared in last summer’s series of the ITV2 dating show, is preparing for her second villa stint.
When Grace shot to fame last summer, she was introduced as Joey Essex‘s ex with them rekindling their romance on screen.
However, when Jessy Potts entered the villa, Joey decided that he had a better connection with her, leaving Grace devastated.
She then seemingly moved on with Marcus Rashford when the pair were reported to be romantically linked towards the end of last year before she dumped him.
And now it seems that Grace could be looking for love once again with her having signed up for the All Stars series that will start on Monday.
She’s even packing her bags as we speak and is preparing to fly out to South Africa.
A source told The Sun: “Grace was asked into talks by ITV ages ago but she was dating for a while – the second she was back on the market she went back into talks and is now set to fly out to South Africa.
“She’ll throw the whole thing into chaos when she walks in as she’s so stunning.”
During her last stint on Love Island, when Joey chose Jessy over Grace, she decided to recouple with Reuben Collins and they left the show together, although split weeks later.
Last year we reported that Grace was in talks with Love Island about an All Stars stint, but was in two minds.
“Grace has been approached for All Stars and we are considering all options at the moment,” a source told us in November.
The news of her being in talks with Love Island at the end of 2024 came around the same time we reported that she had been on multiple dates with footballer Marcus Rashford.
We reported at the end of 2024 that the duo had been on dates around the Cheshire area.
“Grace realised that Marcus wasn’t serious about her and has unfollowed him on Instagram,” a source told us last month.
“She realised there was no future so she has decided to cut ties.
All Stars is returning to our screens and bringing with it a whole batch of Love Island legends.
The star cast features stars from season 2 all the way to season 11, so the age range is huge.

“When the opportunity arose to take part in Love Island All Stars this winter Grace jumped at the chance, she is still young in her career and is keen to maximise the exposure to help with her modelling work and net campaign deals.
“If she finds love on the show that’s a bonus, especially since she didn’t meet a suitable match in the summer.
“As far as she is concerned it’s Marcus’ loss, she is putting her best foot forward and can’t wait to enjoy some winter sun in gloomy January.”
