Love Island All Stars 2024 Odds: Liberty & Chris open as favourites

The Traitors may be his favourite reality TV currently on the air but we know Neil Monnery will be dragged kicking and screaming into Love Island: All Stars 2024, so we’ve asked him to take a look at the early odds available on Betfred…

Well folks, here we are again. This time however, we won’t be watching lots of people we don’t have a clue about. Instead, it’ll be people we’ve seen do this all once before but a few years on. Will they be older and wiser? Time will tell but they’ll certainly all be older.

The obvious place to start is with Jake Cornish and Liberty Poole. They were the couple that seemed to have it all in Series 7 but then the ick came in and everything just melted away seemingly overnight.

Various reports seem to indicate that they haven’t seen each other face-to-face since their season back in 2021. It has also been claimed that Liberty has no idea that Jake has signed-up and will be in the South African villa.

Following how they interact with each other in the early days will be one of the most fascinating storylines and it comes as no surprise to me that Liberty opens as the favourite in the Top Female market, whereas Jake is fourth in the Top Male one.

Both Georgia Harrison and Georgia Steel sit just behind Liberty in the Top Female market. The former was part of Season 3 back in 2017 and made headlines as she was the victim of Stephen Bear’s criminal behaviour, which saw him go to prison for sharing private and sexual photographs of her without consent. I have to admit I didn’t watch the show until 2018, so my knowledge of whether she’ll be a good housemate is pretty limited!

I do however know of Georgia Steel and know all about how loyal she is babe. She was a contestant in 2018 and her experience in the villa was very up and down. We’ve seen her on the reality TV circuit pretty much ever since but if she finds love, I fully suspect the public will vote for her in their droves.

Demi Jones has been to the South African villa before and you have to love her as she’s from Pompey. As we all know, people from the Island City are the best and I’m not biased at all. No. Not me. The influencer has dealt with significant health issues in the years since her appearance on the show, having been diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I’ll be rooting for her as she always seemed quite sweet.

The final two women who are entering the villa for the opening show, are Kaz Kamwi and Hannah Elizabeth. I have to admit I can’t remember much about Kaz and didn’t even watch the first season, so I have absolutely no idea about Hannah. That might be why they are the two longshots from that half of the market.

Looking at the men and the favourite is Chris Taylor, who I honestly cannot remember. I just Googled him and he was paired up with Maura Higgins at one point and I certainly remember her. Is he really who the market thinks is potentially the most likeable male heading to South Africa and the show? That is not a great look.

Toby Aromolaran is next up and he I do remember, but I was not a fan. It shocked me just how long he and Chloe Burrows stayed together after the show ended. When I mentioned him to the girlfriend last night, she told me that he was all right and is looking forward to seeing him back on the show. So maybe he’ll do better than I’m anticipating.

Anton Danyluk is probably best remembered for crying when Craig David appeared in the villa back in 2019 for a live performance. His relationship with Belle Hassan didn’t last long upon the end of their stay on the show.

Following the show, he wrote and released a book entitled ‘50 Steps to the Best Version of Yourself’ and is at the time of writing, the 903,262th most popular book on Amazon. Maybe that is why he wants to go back on the show, to get those sales up!

Luis Morrison is another islander I have no knowledge of, having partaken in the first season of the show all the way back in 2015. Still, the fact he's got the same odds of winning as Sheffield lad Mitchel Taylor is not a ringing endorsement of his chances. If anyone watched his series, you’ll know why. He makes me look smooth and cool when talking to women! Watching him try again will be cringe all over.

Love Island: All Stars 2024 starts at 9PM on Monday night over on ITV4. Plenty of well-known former islanders are expected to be coming in as bombshells throughout the series. It should be nice comfort TV for those dark cold January and February evenings at least.
