Controversial Choice Sparks Outrage
Many Love Island fans are not pleased with the decision to bring Josh Ritchie back. They took to social media to express their dissatisfaction, with one fan exclaiming, “They’re sending in JOSH?? These poor girls! #LoveIsland #LoveIslandAllStars.” Another fan chimed in, “These girls have been well and truly done over, Mitch, Toby, and now Josh? God help them.”
An Unpleasant Past
Josh Ritchie, now 29, first rose to fame as part of the original line-up when the show was revived in 2015. During his time in the villa, he coupled up with several girls, including Lauren Richardson, Jess Hayes, and Naomi Ball. However, his behavior towards one particular girl drew criticism. A Twitter user shared, “And now they’re bringing back Josh Ritchie. Bare in mind this was his attitude towards the poor girl the entire series. He was vile to her. He’s an utter b***end.”
A Controversial Reunion
Adding fuel to the fire, Josh Ritchie’s return to the villa may make things awkward for Georgia, as they had a brief romantic history. The couple dated in 2022 and even sparked pregnancy rumors at one point. Georgia, who is also part of the All Stars series, commented on their past relationship, saying, “Joshua Ritchie… I’ve dated before, he’s good looking and my usual type.”

While some fans are outraged, others are excited to see Josh Ritchie back on the show. One excited fan tweeted, “JOSH RITCHIE CONING BACK WOW BE STILL MY BEATING HEART.” Another fan exclaimed, “Josh Ritchieeee omg dream.” Some fans even expressed their fondness for Josh during the first season, highlighting his youthful charm and the fact that he made it to the final as part of a friendship couple.
