According to reports, ex-islanders will be returning to face those remaining in the villa.
One former bombshell has confirmed he won't be there joining them.
Ryan Bannister entered the show as a bombshell alongside Billykiss Azeez.
He explored connections with Shakira and Toni - only to be dumped just a day later after failing to recouple.
Speaking in a TikTok video, Ryan said: "So it's been confirmed that the 'entire' Love Island cast will be returning to the villa.
"Unfortunately, I haven't been asked to go back.
"The producers obviously let me know that I wouldn't be returning, because they didn't want to ruin my Instagram bio.
"If I went back in, technically I'd have been there longer than 24 hours.
"So, they did it for me and didn't want to ruin my bio."
Feigning tears, the axed star added: "I didn't want to go anyway."
Love Island star claims he was asked to return to villa instead of Blu - but missed the email
It's understood that not all axed Love Islanders were expecting to make a return to the villa for the final.
A select few have been invited back and will fly out to Majorca imminently for Monday night's final.
Meanwhile, it's not the first time Ryan has addressed Love Island fans since his short stint in the villa.
He claimed to have been asked to return alongside OG star Megan Clarke.
Axed Islanders Megan and Blu Chegini re-entered the villa in a shock shake-up.
Ryan responded to a comment saying "Definitely should have sent you back in with Megan, would you go on All Stars?

JoJo Siwa's ex Kath Ebbs announces relationship with star athlete after heartbreak
Just months after their public split from the singer and dancer, the Australian influencer has confirmed their relationship with a famous athlete on social media JoJo Siwa's ex-partner, Kath Ebbs, has revealed that they are in a new relationship after their public split from the Dance Moms star. Kath and JoJo were together when the latter went into the Big Brother house. JoJo quickly formed a tight bond with Chris Hughes, of Love Island fame, and while viewers picked up on flirtatious vibes between the pair, they insisted that they were just friends. Shortly after JoJo came out of the Big Brother house, Kath posted a video online claiming that they had been dumped at the show's after-party. They said: "After two weeks of sitting back watching certain things unfold and not being able to get any clarity from the person that it involves... I was dumped at the after-party.' Kath continued: "I was told that there are confused feelings there - do with that what you will - and that they had realised in the house that I wasn't the person that they wanted to spend the foreseeable future with." During an interview with The Viall Files, JoJo said that Chris was not one of the reasons behind the break up. She said: "I actually told this to Kath, like, 'Maybe it would be easier if he was! But he is not one of them, so if you're going to share the story, share the story… Don't paint it out to look like I cheated on you with him because I did not… I would not, and I have not." JoJo went on to date Chris, and the pair are currently still together. She confirmed the relationship at the start of June during an interview with The Guardian, saying: 'It's not platonic any more, and it's been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I'm absolutely head over heels for him and he's the same way.' However, Kath has now revealed on social media that they are also in a new relationship - with Australian rules footballer Tilly Lucas-Rodd. Kath shared a post of the pair kissing and getting cosy in a photobooth and added the caption: 'The rumours are true! YES I still (stupidly) believe in love!!' Tilly is an athlete for the Hawthorn Football Club who identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns. Earlier this year they opened up about getting top surgery and how it helped them to feel at home in their body. Kath's new partner told ABC Sport in June: "People often have asked me, 'How do I feel now that I've had it' — post surgery seeing myself. "A lot of people [who've had the operation] have really big emotions and really big elation. But for me, it was like, 'this is how I've always looked when I saw myself' … This is what I've always thought and always seen internally."

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) LOVE Island fans have demanded that one star be axed from the villa and have threatened to report him to Ofcom. Furious fans have accused Dejon of gaslighting Meg as they approach the villa final. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Fans have threatened to report Dejon to Ofcom over his behaviour Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 3 Viewers have been unhappy with his antics in the villa Credit: Shutterstock Editorial In an awkward moment, Dejon was seen accusing Meg of throwing him under the bus and intentionally making him look bad for the sake of the "cameras". He kept referring to how they were on a TV show and insinuating that Meg was hoping he would receive a bad edit by rowing with him. It left fans quipping that his behaviour was unacceptable with one even suggesting it was "scary". Taking to X to comment on the scenes and demand his axe from the villa, one fan said: "As a collective, lets report Dejon to Ofcom, scary man." Another echoed: "I might have to write into Ofcom. Cus what was that about Dejon????" A third went on to say: "I don't like meg in the slightest but that conversation where he manipulated, gaslighted and dismissed her was so so so uncomfortable and hard to watch. get this man out!" The comments continued to roll in with someone else posting: "Dejon steamrolling conversations and I need meg to find her voice. Don't like her. Don't support her. &&& that man is scary. But she can fight girls all day but not her man? Get the man out of the villa." With another penning: "Everything that's been said about Dejon is true. The fact that he's so aware of the cameras and looking bad to the public tells it all tbh. I need him on the next flight home." In last night's episode of Love Island, the Islanders were quizzed on how well they know their partner. And Dejon wasn't impressed with Meg for getting some of the answers wrong, repeatedly telling her: "You should know that." Shock moment Love Islander admits he doesn't know his girlfriend's middle name Dejon was also seen 'cheating' during the game. When they were asked to name what turned their partner on the most, Meg was seen struggling to come up with an answer. But Dejon helped her out, making kissing gestures before it was revealed that was his biggest turn on. Also in last night's episode, Dejon confessed he had no idea what Meg's middle name is.
