The list of celebrity cast members was released on 9 December 2019.[6] They include four men; Olympic athlete Ashley McKenzie, television personality Calum Best, The Only Way Is Essex star Joey Essex, and Love Island star Michael Griffiths, and four women; Love Island star Georgia Harrison, The Valleys star Lateysha Grace, playboy model Lorena Medina and Mob Wives star Marissa Jade.[7] It was also announced that the exes joining the series would be celebrities.

All original cast members arrived at the beach during the first episode, which already featured a pair of exes in Calum and Marissa. Ellie Brown, star of the fourth series of Love Island was the first ex to arrive, hoping to rekindle a relationship with her old flame Joey. TV personality David McIntosh debuted during the second episode, joining as a new cast member rather than an ex. The third episode included the arrival of Celebs Go Dating star Victoria Winterford, the ex-girlfriend of Calum, whilst Itay Ohayon arrived as Lorena’s ex-boyfriend in the fourth episode. Episode five featured double trouble as Love Island cast member Charlie Brake showed up to give Ellie some closure, and Danni Kedward came looking for answers from her former flame Ashley M. Geordie Shore star Sophie Kasaei joined the cast during the sixth episode, which also included the arrival of American TV personality Tiffany Pollard as the ex-girlfriend of David. Itay was also sent home during this episode following a twist giving Sophie the ultimate power. Former Big Brother housemate Lotan Carter arrived during episode eight as the ex of Victoria. This episode also included the departures of Charlie and Danni after they were sent packing by the original cast. Another of Lorena's exes, Patrick Hale joined during the ninth episode desperate to win her back, whilst the tenth included Tiffany, Lotan and Victoria all packing their bags and heading home. Calum was forced to pick between two of his exes, Ayesha Reid and Megan Rapley during the eleventh episode. He ultimately chose to send home Ayehsa. Episode twelve featured the arrival of Made in Chelsea cast member Miles Nazaire, as well as David’s ex-girlfriend and former WAGS Miami star Metisha Schaefer who was hell-bent on getting revenge. Patrick was sent packing following a twist in the thirteenth episode, with Lateysha also deciding to return home. Georgia’s former flame Ashley Tyler arrived during this episode as the final ex.
