Love Island: All Stars is back on our screens with a brand new series, with fans of the show getting obsessed with the lives of this year's returning Islanders. Although it's early days, a number of bombshells have already landed, including series seven star AJ Bunker!

Arriving alongside Konnor Ewudzi and Samie Elishi, AJ has wasted no time in getting to know her fellow Islanders, but fans of the show have been left shocked at her real age.

Who is AJ Bunker?

AJ Bunker is a reality star, she first appeared on TV as a contestant on Love Island in 2021, before returning to the All Stars version in early 2026.

After leaving the Love Island villa in 2021, AJ started a career in boxing, taking part in a number of celebrity boxing matches for Misfits Boxing.

How old is AJ Bunker on Love Island?

AJ is now 33-years-old, making her one of the oldest Islanders taking part in the third All Stars series.

What is her real name?

Her full name is Andrea Jane Bunker.

Where is she from?

She's from Dunstable in Bedfordshire.

When was she on Love Island?

AJ made her Love Island debut during series seven in 2021, entering a late bombshell on Day 17. Unfortunaly, AJ didn't last long, being dumped from the villa on Day 23. However, AJ was given a second chance at love when she joined the third series of Love Island: All Stars in 2026. She joined the show a bombshell in the first week.

Why has she returned to Love Island?

Speaking ahead of her appearance on All Stars, AJ said: "I’ve been single a while so I’m really excited to go in and hopefully find a romantic connection with someone.

"I just want to not be so in my shell. My friends and family watching knew it wasn’t me and I was being reserved. There were times during my previous series where I should have spoken up and said ‘That’s not ok’ - I was putting my own feelings aside."

Admitting she's hoping to prove people wrong, AJ added: "I'd like to show people that I’m not a doormat, I’m a girls’ girl but maybe I need to put myself first more. Since I started boxing I've become more resilient, too."

What has she said about her dating life since Love Island?

She said: "My dating life has been tragic. I seem to attract liars or guys that like to ghost but it's never been anything long-term enough to cry over. I fall too quickly and then I’m over it. If it’s too good to be true it probably is; it’s been a lot of men promising and not delivering."

What is her job?

AJ is the owner of Beauty Bear UK, and Aesthetics and Hair Extensions clinic in Beds, Herts, Bucks & London.

Now check out all of the Love Island stars you forgot about:

Jon Clark

WE KNOW. Jon from TOWIE was first on Love Island back in 2015. Yup. The first series of the 'normal' Love Island because FYI there was a Celebrity Love Island back in the day.

Harley Brash

Harley stepped into the Love Island villa as a bombshell alongside India Reynolds. During her time on the show she dated Chris Taylor and things appeared to work outside the villa... until a few weeks later. They became the first Love Island 2019 couple to split.

Carl Woods

Okay another Islander who you know about but most probably forgot were on Love Island is Katie Price's ex fiancé Carl. He went on Love Island as a bombshell back in 2016 but only lasted one episode during a speed dating task.

Alex Miller

Another forgotten soul - Alex. He was a Casa Amor beau from the 2018 series and he coupled up with Megan Barton Hanson. Poor Wes Nelson was left DEVO when he returned alone and saw Megan with a new man... Shortly after Wes won Megan back, Alex was dumped from the villa and that's about it.

Tyla Carr

Despite hysterically crying when Jonny Mitchell was dumped from the island, Tyla didn't leave - remember Theo Campbell being an absolute savage and telling her to leave if she'll miss him that much? LOL. Other than that we've practically forgotten about her existence.

Alex Beattie

Another Islander from the 2017 series that we've forgotten about is Alex. Remember him? He was coupled up with Montana, he confessed his love for her shortly before the final but then they split a few weeks later.

Chloe Crowhurst

Chloe was pretty iconic during the 2017 series. She kept stirring the pot and telling everyone's secrets but it was hilarious to watch. Following her time on Love Island though, she's not really done that much. Bless her.

Craig Lawson

Oh Craig. Bless him. He seemed to have a good heart and was totally into Camilla Thurlow - remember he compared them to Professor Green and Millie Mackintosh even though they'd split? Unfortunately Camilla lost interest in him, he was booted from the villa and we've only just remembered him.

Kendall Rae Knight

Kendall wasn't in the villa long. In fact, she was the first to be booted from the show during the 2018 series thanks to her failed romance with Adam Collard. She's basically Amber Davies' twin so we'll probably actually never truly forget her. She was also friends (she went on an influencer trip) with Molly-Mae Hague, so that counts for something, ey?

Ellie Jones

Ellie - aka Jack Fincham's ex girlfriend – entering the villa was one of the most complained about Ofcom moments in 2018 (and the Roxanne Pallet CBB drama happened in the same year). Ellie entered the villa, Dani Dyer was in floods of tears and shortly after returning to the main villa, Ellie was booted from the show.

Callum Macleod

Another Islander who was the first to be booted from the show was Callum. He was coupled up with Amber, she threw shade at him and his sunglasses and then he was dumped from the island.

Sherif Lanre

Things looked promising for Sherif and Anna Vakili but things came to an end when he was booted from the show for breaking the rules in the villa.

Ollie Williams

Just three days into Love Island 2020 and Ollie quit the show because he was still in love with his ex-girlfriend. It appeared to be a rogue but honest decision so fair play to him - haven't seen or heard of him since though.

Connor Durman

Connor. Need we say more? Probably, because he's on this list, but Connor was coupled up with Sophie Piper and they had a fair few issues in the villa... After she was dumped from the villa they appeared to reunite but have since split.

Shannon Singh

Poor Shannon made a Love Island record on the 2021 series, being dumped from the villa after just 48 HOURS! It's safe to say she's not the most memorable moment from series seven!

Liam Llewellyn

He entered on Day One during the 2022 series, but Welsh lad Liam Llewellyn decided to quit the show after only a few days.

Lolly Hart

Flight attendant Lolly Hart entered the villa on Day 39 during the 2024 Summer series, and was dumped just days later on Day 44. It's safe to say she didn't have a huge impact on the series.

Love Island continues every night at 9pm on ITV2.
