The SEMI-PRO soccer dude could be set for a big return to Love Island.
Montel McKenzie, 26, hasn’t been able to find true love in 2023, but she could be second lucky with a string of All Stars news in full swing.

A source told us: “Montel turned a lot of heads when he joined Villa in the summer of 2023, so bosses wanted him in the mix as a bombshell for the second series of All Stars.
“He’s been in talks and looks promising to get into the mansion. After all, he’s the complete package – sporty, handsome and cheeky, so the girls are sure to turn to him.
“He may not have found love with Leah, but there could be a second chance.”
ITV has been contacted for comment.
Ahead of his first spell at Villa, Montel, who plays at right-back for Billericay Town, described himself as “calm and cool”.
Like current Love Island girlfriend India Reynolds, Montel said he’s not one to jump on the bandwagon.
He said: “I’m used to people coming up to me – I guess I’m lucky! I don’t usually approach girls and win them over.”
Montel left the mansion with Leah Taylor in 2023, but that romance only lasted two weeks.
There were suggestions that he had been cheating on her, but Montel hit back at the speculation and said: “I can confirm that I have never cheated on her.
“I would never do that, if you heard me talk about her you would know.”

However, he explained that Leah did get fed up with the attention he was getting from girls outside the mansion.
He said: “Leah wasn’t happy with posing in pictures, where people were posing.
“She said it made her feel a certain way and she felt stupid.”
He insisted, “I didn’t do anything, I didn’t sleep with anybody, I didn’t DM anybody.”
He has since focused on his football career and helped Billericay to second place in the Isthmian Premier table, one point behind Dover Athletic.
