India Reynolds, 34, reveals what REALLY happened between her and ex Ovie Soko after he dumped her - as she admits she's having Botox to return to Love Island: All Stars as an older contestant

India Reynolds has revealed what really happened between her and Ovie Soko after he ended their relationship - as she prepares to go on Love Island: All Stars.

The brunette beauty, 34, is among a crop of returning contestants looking for another chance at love on the ITV dating show.

When she first appeared on the fifth series back in 2019 she met the basketball player, with them leaving the villa together - but they split a few months later. 

Now ahead of All Stars she has spoken about how she would react if he came in as a later bombshell to the villa.

India told MailOnline: 'We're friends and there are no bad vibes there so it would actually be nice to see him if he did come in. 

'Who knows anything could happen in Love Island.'

However she did add that she will change her tactics this time around in the villa and get to know everyone - not just focus on one person like she did with Ovie. 

India explained: 'Last time I was so focused on him but I think I will explore different connections more this time. Hopefully I can get to know different kinds of people!'

She also opened up on what she had been doing to get ready for her TV return - with Botox being her major form of preparation. 

The star said: 'At 34 I am a fan of Botox so I have had that done but I haven't done much else as it has been Christmas! 

'Sorry Christmas is not the time for the gym. Christmas is for eating or drinking. So I haven't really prepared at all.'

During her pre-villa chat she told how she chose to return to the show because finding love in the outside world hadn't worked out for her and she hated online dating. 

She said: 'It wasn't working out in the real world and I'm not a fan of online dating so I wanted to give it a go. I just didn't meet anyone on the outside.

'There is no age limit to finding love or getting to know people and there is no right way to find love. With All Stars people will be a bit older as they have been on it before so that will be good.

'I was more scared last time and nervous about going in - I should be more confident this time.'

On whether she will be getting steamy in the villa or not she added: 'No my parents and grandparents will be watching! But family have always been really supportive.'

The cast of Love Island: All Stars will be coupled up by a public vote in the series launch on Monday. 

Fans can vote until 9pm on Friday to seal the returning singletons' fate on who they are paired up with. 

In past shows, the islanders had been allowed to chose who they would like to be coupled up with, but bosses are shaking things up for the All Stars series. 

Set to air on ITV2 and ITVX, the decision could prove an interesting on as exes Gabby Allen and Marcel Somerville are set to come face to face. 

The fitness influencer, 32, claims she hasn't seen the Blazin' Squad star, 39, for six years after their relationship ended shortly after their stint in the 2017 series when Marcel cheated on her.

Curtis Pritchard, Ronnie Vint, Olivia Hawkins, Scott Thomas, Catherine Agbaje, Nas Majeed, Kaz Crossley, Luca Bish and Elma Pazar are the initial 12 returning Islanders who will head into the South African villa and be greeted by host Maja Jama.

It comes as Gabby admitted she's 'open' to the prospect of a shock reconciliation with ex-boyfriend Marcel, despite their bitter break-up after discovering he had cheated on her on holiday.

But after the boyband favourite fell victim to infidelity himself, when his wife Rebecca Vieira strayed and subsequently ended their marriage, Gabby believes he may now have learned from his mistakes and could be mature enough to give their romance another go.

Speaking ahead of her return to the ITV2 series, Gabby told MailOnline: 'I am a big Love Island fan and everyone is hot.

'I am open in general, not even just on the show but I would like to think that it's not just looks, I want more from a relationship, I am a bit older, there are certain things I want out of a guy. I am going to be open to everyone and anyone that goes in really.'

On Marcel, she added: 'Obviously, there's the elephant in the room that my ex could possibly go in, but we haven't seen each other for six years.

'It's been such a long time, there are no hard feelings, it is what it is. I don't know if he's going in, I don't know how I can actually prepare for that... I am basically preparing myself that he does come in and then if he does, I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

'I would actually just like to have a conversation with him and hopefully put it all behind us and have some sort of friendship.

'We know each other very well... we had such an experience with each other last time. There's no reason why we shouldn't take the positives from it and hopefully be mates of some sort.'

And she won't let the fact Marcel, who cheated on Gabby when they were on holiday together in Mexico, being technically married still, as he's currently going through a divorce, stop a possible romance blossoming.

Gabby explained: 'I am really happy for him... it's been such a long time, and he is a bit older as well so that was bound to happen.

'It's really hard to read what happened and this is why I also want to talk to him because if he was going in, I hope he's alright and maybe we can relate to each other in some sort of way.'

Love Island: All Stars returns Monday 13th January at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
