Love Island UK All Stars Season 3 Premiere Delayed: Safety Evacuation
According to ITV, the highly anticipated launch scheduled for Monday, January 12, 2026, couldn't proceed as planned. Wildfires in the Western Cape region created hazardous conditions, leading to a full production evacuation. Local reports from TimesLIVE indicated that heavy smoke and strong winds hindered firefighting efforts, forcing residents and the TV crew to flee the area.
"Health and safety is our greatest priority," an ITV spokesperson told Entertainment Weekly. They confirmed that after assessing the site, filming had to be paused until further notice. Fans who were ready to watch 12 returning Islanders, including Charlie Frederick and Belle Hassan, will have to wait for a new confirmed date.
What Happens to the Schedule?
- ITV2 and ITVX aired the 10-year anniversary special, 'A Decade of Love,' as a replacement.
- The Peacock release in the U.S. is also expected to be pushed back.
Despite the delay, the buzz remains high. Many remember the success of Season 1 winners Molly Smith and Tom Clare, who got engaged in September 2025. The network hasn't yet revealed the revised air date, as they continue to monitor the wildfire situation in the Western Cape.
