Ronnie, 28, was spotted by a fellow traveller on board a British Airways flight leaving Gatwick for Cape Town on Sunday night.

The Sun's exclusive footage shows the former football star settling into his premium economy seat for the red eye flight.

A source said: "Ronnie was a breakout star of Love Island last summer and while his hopes of finding love may not have worked out, he fancies a second shot in the villa.

"He also isn't afraid to ruffle feathers, play the field and he'll also have the support of his pals Olivia Attwood and Bradley Dack behind him.

"If his ex Harriett Blackmore is also in the villa, however, things could get very awkward very quickly."

Ronnie and Harriett split just weeks after leaving the Love Island villa last summer.

He previously told The Sun how he was looking forward to the next chapter, though admitted he hadn't been on a date since his split.

Ronnie said: "After the first experience [on Love Island], I feel like I know what I want now for the next stage in my life.

"I'm just enjoying being on my own and working on myself. It's a new year around the corner, see what happens."

Despite their relationship being hit by 'cheating' rumours, Ronnie said they mutually decided to split as they adjusted to their newfound fame and life in the public eye.

Meanwhile, The Sun on Sunday revealed how Olivia Hawkins has also agreed to return to the villa.

The brunette star, 29, appeared on the ITV2 show back in 2023 and is set to fly to South Africa in the next week.

A source said: “Olivia is really excited to be returning to South Africa and continuing her Love Island journey.

"She feels like she’s got lots to offer still and would love to meet someone. She’s adored the limelight since she first came out of the villa, but would like to find romance.”

Other Love Island stars set to return to the villa include Curtis Pritchard, 28, and Scott Thomas, 36, with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, 30, also said to be tempted.

Love Island All Stars 2025 rumours

Love Island All Stars will be back for its second series in 2025 - and rumours are already rife as to who will be making a comeback this time around.

After the second All Stars series was announced in May, show boss Mike Spender said: "Lots of people have been in contact about it, lots of fun people, from series one onwards.

"We cast it because we knew what was going on behind the scenes of who was getting with who and now even more stories have come out.

"I think we will now save ex-islanders for All Stars."

One rumoured name for the next series is data engineer Harry Baker.

Harry, 25, arrived in the villa as a bombshell in Series 11. He soon 'stole' Grace Jackson after making his debut.

Arriving late in the run, he only lasted for a few days before being dumped alongside Lola Deloca.

Despite the hunk's brief stint, viewers have called for Harry's return.

One upset fan wrote: "Get you in All Stars next", to which Harry cryptically replied by posting 'shrugging' emojis.
