Wildfires in South Africa have forced the evacuation of production for Love Island All Stars Season 3, which will now be delayed. Maya Jama hosted the ITV hit show, which was supposed to start on January 12, 2026, but filming at the villa has been put on hold because of safety concerns.

ITV put health and safety first, and they made sure that the production team was safely evacuated while wildfires were still burning near the filming location. An official statement said that assessments found the site to be unsafe, so transmission was put on hold until further notice. Fans who are waiting for drama-filled reunions and big news will have to wait longer.

The indefinite delay messes up the highly anticipated return, and there is still no new premiere date. The recent wildfires in South Africa have gotten worse, affecting many areas and showing how hard it is to make international reality shows. ITV will give more information, and updates will come.
