Love Island star Samantha Kenny has shut down speculation she could be heading back to the villa for the All Stars edition of the hit ITV dating show.
The 27-year-old influencer – who first appeared on series 11 – was quick to dismiss the rumours.
She said: “I’d rather keep my sanity.”

Speaking out, Samantha, from Liverpool, insisted she has no plans to return to Love Island for her own mental health and her mother’s.
She admitted: “I’d put my mum in an early grave if I did it again.
“That show is not worth my mum’s mental health. I wouldn’t put her through watching me on telly the way I was.”

The reality star claimed producers had not approached her about a potential All Stars stint and she said she has no intention of joining the winter series anyway.
Love Island All Stars will be returning early 2026, after it was renewed for its third series in South Africa.

During her time on the show, Samantha was coupled up with TOWIE legend Joey Essex, 35, as reported on What’s The Jam.
Samantha’s villa journey was cut short when Joey quickly rekindled a connection with his ex, Grace Jackson, 27.
The love triangle ultimately saw Samantha leave the island, though she remained a talking point among fans who were outraged at her exit.

The influencer made a stark confession: “I don’t want to say a lot but I wouldn’t put myself down with certain people and certain situations like that, it’s [the show] just not for me.”
Away from the villa, Samantha was linked to ex- TOWIE star Pete Wicks,36, in March after the pair were spotted hugging outside Mayfair hotspot Amazonico.
It was reported the pair shared a brief romance after his split from TV presenter and model Maura Higgins, although neither confirmed it.
Samantha seems focused on influencer life away from reality TV, making it crystal clear she won’t be flying back to the Love Island villa anytime soon.
