Laughing nervously, Toby says: ‘You picked your time…’
Sensing the tension Callum Jones asks: ‘Why is there history between you two?’
Arabella says: ‘Yeah…there is a bit of history. It was like a year ago and then I met my ex. It then fizzled out because I was in a relationship.’
Callum continues: ‘Is there any chance of you and Toby rekindling?’
Arabella then explains: ‘I do feel like there are definitely conversations to be had.’
The pair had a secret fling that has only just been revealed upon her entry to the villa – much like his history with current couple Georgia Steel.
Her entrance comes as she branded her footballer ex Ruben Dias ‘a mistake’.
The beauty was confirmed as a new Islander on the ITV show at the end of Friday’s episode, just days after she was ‘dumped’ by the Manchester City player.
Reality star Arabella and footballer Ruben, 26, were seen jetting off on holiday together as they arrived at Manchester Airport on New Year’s Day, having been at the centre of romance rumours since September last year.

However, Ruben reportedly dumped Arabella soon after they returned to the UK, leaving her free to potentially find love with one of her fellow Islanders in the ITV2 show’s South African villa.
She has now spoken out about her relationships over the last 12 months, saying she thought she’d found ‘the one’.
Arabella told The Sun on Sunday: ‘Last year was probably my unluckiest when it came to finding the one. I’ve been so unlucky in love.
‘I’ve dated people I thought at the time were the one, which was a mistake I’ve since learnt from.’
She added: ‘What I’ve learnt from dating last year is that you think you know someone but you don’t really know them at all.
‘I dated people that perhaps, looking back, weren’t best suited to me.’
At the end of Friday’s Love Island All Stars, Arabella shared: ‘I might have recently of come out of a relationship but I’m ready to meet the man of my dreams so get me back in that villa!’
In November, The Sun reported that Arabella had been regularly jetting from her home in Ibiza to spend time with Ruben in the UK.
They added the Portuguese hunk has been ‘showering’ the stunner with gifts, but that the couple were trying to keep their romance under wraps.
A source said: ‘Rúben and Arabella have been quietly dating for the past month. She has visited him in Manchester and their dates have been all under the radar.
‘They went to Paris for their first romantic mini-break in the week, where he wined and dined her at all the best restaurant’
‘Rúben and Arabella are trying to keep their relationship under wraps because it’s early days. But they had the best time together in Paris and seem to be really falling for each other.’
The pair sparked speculation among their fans after several eagled-eyed followers claimed the pair had gone on a romantic trip to Paris together in November, after posting near-identical shots.
Both Rúben and Arabella shared snaps of the Eiffel Tower taken from the same angle and clearly within minutes of each other as the same passers by could be spotted in the snaps.
Model and social influencer Arabella, who took part in the fifth season of Love Island in 2019, split from New York businessman Richie Akiva in September last year.
Prior to their split, eyebrows were raised when Arabella was spotted hanging out with none other than Hollywood A-lister Leonardo DiCaprio in Ibiza.
She was spotted soaking up the sun aboard Leo’s yacht along with several of his friends in recent days.
It soon emerged Arabella met the Oscar-winning star, 48, through his close friend Richie, who she was seen sharing a steamy kiss with.
Arabella was also linked to another athlete last year, former French rugby player Yoann Huget, after the couple were spotted together at the French Open in June.
A source said at the time: ‘They’ve been dating for a while and it’s now turned more serious so they were happy to make it official at the French Open.’
She was also briefly linked to DJ Tom Zanetti in 2021 but was quick to shoot down the claims, insisting: ‘We did a shoot together, but we’re just good friends! People have assumed more than it is.
‘I’m 100 percent single and for the first time in my life I’m learning about myself and I know what I want now in a guy.
‘I don’t want to settle. When you’re younger you think “he’s hot, he’ll do for now,” but now I’m like no, I know what I want and know my worth.’
During Friday’s episode of Love Island All Stars, Georgia Harrison warned the other Islanders of Arabella’s potential impact.
Georgia told the other girls: ‘I know Arabella … none of us are safe, absolutely not!’
Arabella says: ‘Yeah…there is a bit of history. It was like a year ago and then I met my ex. It then fizzled out because I was in a relationship’

Arabella previously starred on the fifth season of Love Island and she’s now ‘ready to meet the man of [her] dreams’.
Prior to entering the villa, she shared: ‘I’ve been fortunate enough to be able to hangout in Hollywood circles but I still have not found love.
‘I’m Arabella, I was on series five of Love Island. I might have recently of come out of a relationship but I’m ready to meet the man of my dreams so get me back in that villa!’
Love Island All Stars returns to screens on Sunday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve dated from the show since appearing? It’s always going to be awkward isn’t it, it’s always going to be weird seeing someone that you’ve been with getting with someone else. I wish my exes nothing but the best. I’m going to be focused on my own journey.
Kaz Kamwi
AGE: 29
SERIES: 7
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? To be totally honest, I actually really want to find love.
I had a great time last series but I want to have an even better time.
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve previously dated from the show? The thing is, I’m a bad b*tch so I will handle it with as much grace as I can.
Georgia Harrison
AGE: 29
SERIES: 3
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? This is the last year of my 20s so I want to go in the Villa and have some fun and hopefully meet someone that I can fall in love with. I’m lucky in the sense that I’ve got everything in my life that I could possibly wish for, apart from love.
If you had to pick your top Islanders from Series 1 to 10 to couple up with who would they be and why? Chris Taylor, he’s hilarious and the main thing I’m attracted to is a man who can make me laugh. What a fun guy and like I said, I’m looking for someone to TikTok with so I reckon he’d be game for that sort of stuff!
Demi Jones
AGE: 25
SERIES: 6
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I lost a lot of confidence with my health issues over the last couple of years but I’ve been smashing the gym this year, finding my confidence again and I’ve got it back. So, let’s find a man!
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve dated from the show since? It will be interesting to see if old flames get reignited. Naturally with Love Island paths are very much crossed and believe me, I have some paths!
Hannah Elizabeth
AGE: 33
SERIES: 1
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m returning to the Love Island Villa because I did it eight years ago and what an opportunity I never thought I’d get again. I’m not very good at finding love but I had a ball the first time, so I’m going to have a ball again.
You got engaged on the show last time, do you think wedding bells could be on the cards again this time round? Absolutely not, not in the Villa no. Maybe when I get out, but I’d need to give it a bit of time.
Georgia Steel
AGE: 25
SERIES: 4
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? I’m 25, I have a house, a cat, a nice car – I have everything in life but a boyfriend, so why not give it as go.
You’ve been brave and honest in opening up about being conned by a former partner. How has this experience impacted the way in which you now approach dating?
I take that experience as a really positive reflection now. I look at it as something I had to go through to make me stronger and learn things in life for me to be able to learn what I want in my next partner.
Molly Smith

SERIES: 6
Jake Cornish
AGE: 26
SERIES: 7
How will you feel if you come across an ex in the Villa or someone you’ve dated from the show since appearing? Well there is only one and that’s Liberty. We never ended with any bad blood between us and everything happens for a reason. We just become two different people in the end.
What will you do differently this time round? When it comes to people’s opinions, I don’t sit on the fence anymore. That is my way of life now, so I will take that into the Villa.
Toby Aromolaran
AGE: 24
SERIES: 7
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? If I’m Single and Love Island is an opportunity for me, how could you turn down the chance to find love again?!
You were in a long term relationship with Chloe Burrows, what do you think her reaction will be when she hears you are going into the Villa? I don’t know how she would take it. We will always have love for each other and I think she would wish me the best of luck, as I would certainly do the same.
Chris Taylor
AGE: 33
SERIES: 9
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? Last time I was only there for 15 days, so I want to do it and enjoy it all again. I am 33 now and getting on a bit – I am getting ear hair! It would be nice to have a girl to keep my ears trimmed for me!
How did the Barbie Movie come about? I was invited to an afterparty by Margot Robbie and then ended up at an after party with her. I started to panic and make conversation with her, just having really stupid chats. All I can assume is that my silly chat made an impression on Margot Robbie. 18 months later I got an email from Warner Brothers.
Luis Morrison
AGE: 29
SERIES: 1
Why are you returning to the famous Love Island Villa? It was the best experience of my life. I found love in the Villa before and who knows if I can find love in there again?
What will you do differently this time round?
I’m a lot older and wiser, so I know what I am getting myself into. I don’t have a game plan at all – I am an open book so I will go with the flow and see what happens.
Anton Danyluk
AGE: 29
SERIES: 5
Why are you returning to the Love Island Villa? For me it was a no brainer. I got the call and it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity and probably the best summer I have ever had in my life. Getting the chance to do it twice is going to be unbelievable.
Why do you think the Love Island Villa is the perfect place to find love?
I think this time with Love Island: All Stars, things will be different, as we all understand what it’s like to go on Love Island and the only thing now missing is finding a partner.
Mitchel Taylor
AGE: 27
SERIES: 10
Why are you returning to the Love Island villa? I think I went in with my heart on my sleeve the first time and got hurt and this time I am just going in to enjoy myself and if a connection happens, a connection happens.
In the summer you were given the name ‘Messy Mitch’, and a name that you have taken on as your own, can we expect more of the same in the series? I’ll be honest, I don’t really plan on being ‘Messy Mitch’. It just depends on what day of the week it is. I wear my emotions on my sleeve and what you see is what you get. I am very honest and very opinionated and I think that’s what people like me for.
