Love Island: All Stars Premiere Delayed After South Africa Wildfires Prompt Evacuation

ITV cites health-safety concerns, with a new transmission date to be confirmed once filming can resume.

Overview

  • Production was halted after a precautionary evacuation of the villa, and cast and crew were relocated to hotels.
  • ITV and the show’s official Instagram confirmed the pause in filming and said transmission is delayed pending safety assessments.
  • Reports describe strong winds and multiple fires in the Western and Eastern Cape, with involvement from the South African Air Force.
  • The series is produced close to broadcast, complicating rescheduling for the UK and likely affecting international rollouts.
  • This All Stars run was planned as a six-week season hosted by Maya Jama with 12 returning islanders, but the mid-January launch is now off.
