Ronnie Vint was spotted en route to South Africa in time for Love Island All Stars, as a source claimed he’s ready to ‘play the field’ for his second time in the villa

Love Island star Ronnie Vint, 28, is set to head back into the villa just months after his search for love in 2024.

Ronnie’s departure comes just days before the previous Islanders are set to go into isolation ahead of the All Stars launch next week. He’s expected to be joined by the likes of Luca Bish, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, Paige Thorne, Olivia Hawkins and Curtis Pritchard – who famously told ex-girlfriend Amy Hart he hoped to be the person to cheer Islanders up in the morning.

The footballer was spotted by a fellow passenger on board a flight to South Africa, in an image obtained by The Sun. Ronnie looked lowkey in a hoodie and a backwards cap, and kept his head down as he listened to music through his AirPods. The flight is said to have been taking him to Love Island All Stars, where past contestants have a second chance at pairing up.

Alongside the image, a source claimed that while Ronnie wasn’t able to find his forever love in the villa last summer, he’s trying again. “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,” they said.

The source added that he was willing to make a splash for his second Love Island innings, explaining: “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.”

The source suggested that Ronnie wouldn’t be too happy to see his ex in the villa after their sudden breakup. Ronnie and Harriet met on Love Island, but didn’t last long on the outside amid accusations of infidelity.

Addressing the issue, Ronnie stated: “I’ve been doing [public appearances], and obviously I’m going to take photos with girls and whatever, but there is nothing else, and she knows that, and obviously that’s the life we live now,” he told OK! back in September.

The star also opened up about how easy it was for innocent things to be blown out of proportion, describing: “If someone is close friends with me, and I’m talking to her, someone is going to try to take a photo, and that’s what it can look like. She obviously knows that deal, and what happened, because I went back that night and I FaceTimed her in bed, so she knew straight away that nothing happened, but then the story came out.”
