Love Island: All Stars bombshell Tina Stinnes’ age, job and Made in Chelsea past
The second instalment of Love Island: All Stars has already dished out its fair share of drama and unexpected twists. The most recent surprise in the South African villa is season two alum Tina Stinnes, whose anticipated arrival was hinted at during the conclusion of Thursday’s (January 16) episode.
Given that Tina last graced our screens on Love Island back in 2016, we’ve put together a quick refresher just for you. Here’s all the essential info about the reality TV star…
Age
Litora Studio stands as her sustainable swimwear label, earning features in top-tier outlets such as British Vogue and Tatler magazine, reports OK!
Made in Chelsea
Before her island escapades, Tina dipped her toes into reality TV with a guest spot on Made in Chelsea in 2014, where audiences knew her as Spencer Matthews’ then partner.
Returning to our screens on the Channel 4 hit in 2017, Tina became a permanent fixture in the cast by 2024. She’s become quite the firecracker on the show, clashing with notable co-stars like Frankie Gaff and Liv Bentley.
Love Island season 2
Day 20 of Love Island season two welcomed Tina into the fray, a mere 21 years old at the time. Making a splash from the start, she declared an interest in Scott Thomas and swiftly invited him out on a date.
This move ignited the ire of Kady McDermott, Scott’s partner at the time, who then sharply labelled Tina a “Made in Chelsea reject”.
Tina didn’t manage to spark a connection with Scott, as he decided to stay with Kady. Without establishing a meaningful bond, Tina was sent packing from the island on day 40 after Adam Maxted chose to recouple with Katie Salmon.
Love Island: All Stars
Tina is set for a dramatic return to Love Island: All Stars tonight (January 17), where she’ll come face-to-face with Scott once again in a surprise twist.
The upcoming episode promises to be cringe-worthy as Tina also shares a past with season nine’s Casey O’Gorman, who made his entrance into the All Star villa earlier this week – his third time on the show in as many years. The two had a brief romance during a group trip to Antigua, but it quickly petered out.
Before her comeback on All Stars, Tina expressed her desire to re-enter the villa in the hopes of forging a lasting relationship and to revisit some of the “best” times of her life.
“It was the best experience that I’ve ever had, it made me learn about myself and grow. I was quite a shy person, so to put myself in that environment was very outside of my comfort zone, but I made friends for life,” she shared.
“I was a bridesmaid at Olivia Bowen’s wedding, she’s still one of my best friends, going through that with someone is the best. I’d also love to meet a man of course too! I’ve been single for a long time, it’s about time.”
