Love Island bosses are ramping up plans to put together an All Stars series of the reality dating show, with Maura Higgins among the top names on producers' wishlist.
The Sun reports that ITV chiefs are in talks about developing an All Stars edition of Love Island, which could potentially air in 2024.
The report suggests that Longford bombshell Maura will be targeted for the series, as will Sophie Piper from the sixth series and Kady McDermott from the second series.

Male islanders who could return for an All Stars version of the popular show include Kem Cetinay and Scott Thomas, though it's understood that producers will monitor the success of I’m A Celebrity All Stars, which is set to come to our screens this summer, before it pushes ahead with a Love Island version.
"Love Island All Stars is in development at ITV and it is a concept they have been talking about," a source told the tabloid.
"This summer’s series marks the 10th series of the show and ITV thinks there is an appetite for the concept.
"The plan would be to invite some of the sexiest and most successful former islanders to see if they can find love for a second time around.
"Women like Maura, Sophie and India would be top of ITV’s wishlist, while male stars including former 2017 series winner Kem Cetinay and fan favourite Scott Thomas, who was in the show in 2016, are also on the wishlist."
Maura, who shot to fame on the fifth series of Love Island, recently confirmed that she is "very much single", having responded to media speculation sparked by images of her cosying up to Yisroel Solomon on a recent holiday in Mexico.
The 32-year-old said she actually gave out to the businessman and his friends for posting pictures of the two of them online.
Speaking on the Late Late Show Valentine's Day special, Maura told Ryan Tubridy: "I couldn't be more single if I tried. I'm very much single. Being in the public eye, I'm on holidays and with a group of friends.
"You mingle on holidays. There was a group of guys next to us at a table. They came to join us.
"There's a photo of him kissing my cheek. I don't know where this photo came from because I don't have it on my phone.
"I think it was one of his friends that took it. He probably leaked the photo. I did give him some abuse on Instagram. I did DM him over it. I just called him embarrassing. There's just no need for it. I'm single!"
