A LOVE Island winner and fan-favourite has been “confirmed” for All Stars just months after her heartbreaking split.
The ITV2 beauty, 29, is banishing her break-up blues with her second villa stint, after The Sun exclusively reported she was in line for the sun-soaked series.
Millie Court, who split with former Love Island co-star Liam Reardon, 26, for the second time in September, will now head to South Africa for the spin-off series which kicks off in the New Year.
A source told MailOnline how the decision was a “no brainer” for the former ASOS buyer, who is now channelling her energy into her influencer lifestyle and YouTube channel.
They told the publication: “Millie is one of the first stars to sign up for Love Island: All Stars this year, and she’s a brilliant contestant.
“She’s a former winner and has only recently split from ex Liam, who could even make a surprise appearance in the villa alongside her.

“After spending a few weeks feeling heartbroken over their breakup, Millie has never felt better, she’s confident and in a great headspace.
“When producers came calling, she knew she had unfinished business with the show, so returning was a no-brainer.”
They added of Millie, who won the show in 2021 with Welsh lad Liam: “Millie was very popular during her first Love Island stint. Now that she is single again, producers have been talking to her.
“Nothing is set in stone yet, as the line-up is never confirmed until closer to transmission, but it’s heading in the right direction.”
Earlier this month, we told how the beauty was in “very early talks” for the show.
Yet it remains to be seen if she will be reunited with Liam in the villa, particularly as neither have spoken publicly about calling time on their romance.
If so, it would replicate the experience of Molly Smith and Callum Jones, who came face to face in the series after their split.
Yet signing up second time around proved ideal for fitness app founder Molly, who is now happily engaged to Tom Clare.
Since their second split, Millie has been showing Liam what he’s been missing posing for a variety of sexy selfies showing off her new hair do and stunning lingerie sets.
The couple appeared to be back on track after their first break-up in July 2022.
Back then, Millie told how her “biggest fear” would be Liam penning an All Stars deal.
They got things working again and shared a podcast as well as making their relationship work between London and Wales, where Liam is based.
Back in September, a source close to the couple exclusively told The Sun that they had called time on their relationship – and fans were quick to flag all the signs of their split.
A source said: “Millie and Liam have tried so hard to make their relationship work.
“But unfortunately, the distance was just difficult and they have sadly ended their relationship for a second time.
“Obviously, they’ve worked things out before, so friends are hoping this might just be a blip as it’s all still very fresh.
“But right now they are spending time apart. Everyone who loves them hopes they can work it out.”
Millie then uploaded what appeared to be a cryptic comment on the state of play in the aftermath.
She wrote on her jewellery brand Saith’s page: “A reminder that every situation in life is temporary.
“So when life is good, make sure you enjoy and receive it fully.
“When life is not so good, remember that it will not last forever and better days are on the way.”
9-1-1 may be billed as a procedural first-responder drama, but anyone who’s tuned into the ABC series — or its Lone Star or Nashville spinoffs — knows it’s far more interesting than that. Ryan Murphy is one of its creators, after all, so the reality is heightened, the emergencies are ridiculous (hello, bee-nado), and there’s always disaster brewing at the cities’ most well-known landmarks. The bonkers plots were addressed by 9-1-1: Nashville’s showrunner, who had to get the city on board to make them happen.
When 9-1-1: Nashville premiered on the 2025 TV schedule, it was immediately obvious that the emergency calls answered by the 113 firefighters were going to be just as outlandish as what we’ve seen in 9-1-1’s Los Angeles-based series and the Texas spinoff. Having a tornado destroy part of Ascend Amphitheater during a Kane Brown concert might not seem like it, but showrunner Rashad Raisani insists the show is a “love letter” to the Tennessee capital. He told the Washington Post:
I know our show is crazy and all these calamities happen to people. But I’m like, trust me: I think people are going to see it and still be like, ‘That place looks like a lot of fun.’
Even 9-1-1: Lone Star’s Rob Lowe told LeAnn Rimes this isn’t the place to go for reality, but it’s the crazy emergencies that make it so interesting. That’s apparently something Rashad Raisani had to convince the city of, as there was apparently concern that the series was making fun of Nashville. The showrunner continued:
We have a mutual bond with the city where we’ve all been very forthcoming and been very honest, and there’s been respect on both sides. And I think as long as we keep that, it’s been a thriving relationship.
While the situations may be exaggerated, the drama is still spicy, which the showrunner hopes will keep audiences entertained as 9-1-1: Nashville takes them around the city to show off its nightlife, its attractions and landmarks — even if wild disasters are involved.
Mark Ezell, commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Tourist Development, says television can be a “powerful form of advertising” when done right, and Nashville is already seeing visitors who say they were inspired to visit after seeing Rashad Raisani’s series. The city official said:
If a scene of someone being carried away by a kite at Centennial Park, a tornado at Ascend Amphitheater or even a firenado gets people talking, that’s still a win for us. We’re in on the joke.
We can all admit that kite scene was pretty hilarious, right?
Will this spinoff ever reach the levels of 9-1-1’s space adventures or 9-1-1: Lone Star’s horrifying CPR-on-a-frozen-body scene? Some might argue it already has.
9-1-1: Nashville is set to return after the holidays, hitting the 2026 TV schedule on Thursday, January 8, on ABC. If you want to catch up or rewatch the first batch of Ryan Murphy and Rashad Raisani’s tribute to Tennessee, you can stream episodes with a Hulu subscription.
