Love Island All Stars viewers slam ITV for bringing back 'horrific' contestant Anton Danyluk after former contestant sparks race in resurfaced Halloween snap

Love Island viewers have slammed ITV viewers for including Anton Danyluk in their All Stars line-up after he became embroiled in racing.

The Scottish gym owner, 29, from Airdrie, was pictured in black while dressed as jewelery-loving actor Mr. T – known to millions as BA Baracus from The A-Team – for Halloween in 2014.

The photo appeared on a Facebook page for Anton's gym The Ranch during his 2019 debut and showed him posing with other costumed members of a themed boot camp.

After returning from his series five appearance for the new spin-off, Anton has been linked to Series One contestant Hannah Elizabeth, 33.

But as the wellness hunk comes with a first series of 'OG', many fans have since criticized ITV's decision to bring back the contestant.

He was pictured in blackface in 2014 while dressed as Mr T for Halloween. But with the hunk being paired with a first series of 'OG', many fans have since rejected ITV's choice to bring him back.

Some shocked Island viewers told X, formerly known as Twitter, that they “couldn't believe” the “horrendous” decision.

Before Maya Jama revealed the new pairing, one user wrote, “Omg when they put kaz with blackface anton…. #loveisland.'

Another fan commented: 'This man is hideous…blackface is not something you can ignore.'

“I just can't believe they brought Anton again despite his racist past??? #loveisland.'

The influencer was dressed as Mr T, a character played by black actor Laurence Turead, 71, who was famous for playing BA Baracus in 1980s action series The A Team.

To accompany his controversial blackface, Anton dressed in Mr T-style dungarees, clunky jewelry and a faux mohican.

When the influencer made his Island debut in 2019, it sparked outrage among fans as 2017 finalist Marcel Somerville called for him to be removed from the show.

The outrage comes after Anton opened up about the vicious trolling he received over his performance after his first stint as he prepared to return to the show for the upcoming All Stars series.

He was dogged by cosmetic surgery allegations after his debut on the ITV2 show in 2019, where he was dumped from the villa just before the final.

Along with co-star Belle Hassan, Anton was suspended with just 24 hours to go before the 2019 final, narrowly missing the chance to win the £50,000 prize.

When the influencer joined the show, he focused much of his energy on bodybuilding, but after making the decision to “bulk” for energy, fans began claiming he looked “barely recognizable.”

The trolling became so intense that the TV personality asked his then-girlfriend Dominika Blonsk if his face looked funny.

He revealed that the trolling 'got a lot worse' than he let on and admits he didn't disagree with what the online bullies were saying.

Anton told MailOnline: 'Well, it got a lot worse than it actually was, and to be honest, the hardest thing about that period of my time was that I completely agreed with what everyone was saying about me.

'I didn't agree with anything. I did gain a lot of weight, which was intentional because I was doing bodybuilding at the time. And so my thing, that whole process, when I heard all about my appearance was, you know, I'll show them when I finish my cup. I knew that once I started dieting, I would do what I had to do, and that gave me the extra fuel to get through it last time while dieting.

'As you can see now, I am upset and look like the old Anton again; that's just me. But I did it for that purpose at that time in my life, and I knew there would be a backlash. That's why I've put off bulking for so many years.'

The outrage comes after Ant opened up about the vile trolling he received over his performance after his first stint as he prepared to return to the show for the upcoming All Stars series.
