A Love Island heartthrob has sparked fresh speculation that he could be heading into the All Stars spin-off after confirming he is single.
The ITV2 alum, who appeared in one of the most complained-about episodes in the show’s history, has already “given away” his spot on the upcoming series, according to eagle-eyed fans.
Teddy Soares, 31, who starred on Love Island in 2021 and found romance with ex-girlfriend Faye Winter, 30, has now hinted that he may be open to giving villa love another chance. The reality star took to TikTok to share a video of himself relaxing at a bar in a sunny holiday destination.
In the clip, Teddy wore a black short-sleeve shirt left partially unbuttoned, showing off a gold necklace as he sipped coconut water, followed by an alcoholic chaser. He then raised a toast to the camera before the video cut off, leaving fans speculating about what the post really meant.

In the caption, Teddy wrote: “May be single for the holidays.
Won’t be sober though.”
He added underneath: “Tis the season to be jolly.”
Fans were quick to connect the dots, with one commenting: “All Stars in three weeks.” The speculation comes after Teddy, who split from Faye in 2023 after 18 months together, previously teased a possible return during a conversation with a follower. When asked, “All Stars 2026?” he replied: “Who knows what the future holds.”
The timing of Teddy’s post raised even more eyebrows as it was uploaded just hours after fellow Love Island alum Jess Harding appeared to hint at her own All Stars appearance by posing in a revealing outfit.
VILLA DRAMA
Teddy and Faye finished third during the 2021 season, but their time in the villa became infamous due to a dramatic confrontation that later went down in Love Island history. Faye became the most complained-about contestant the show has ever seen, racking up 36,324 Ofcom complaints following a heated on-screen meltdown.
The controversy stemmed from footage shown during Casa Amor, which was presented without full context and led Faye to believe Teddy had been unfaithful. Viewers were particularly critical of the argument, with many saying producers should have intervened sooner. Around 25,000 complaints were made over the incident alone, though Ofcom ultimately dismissed the case.
Love Island winners – the place they’re now
Teddy later admitted that watching the show has been difficult since his time in the villa. He revealed that he has struggled to tune in, explaining that certain clips still trigger strong emotional reactions. While many memories are positive, he said the experience left a lasting impact.
Meanwhile, Faye confirmed their split at the time, telling fans that the decision came after careful thought. She thanked supporters for following their journey and expressed gratitude for the love they received throughout their relationship.
With Teddy now openly single and dropping cryptic hints online, fans are more convinced than ever that an All Stars return could be on the horizon.
