However, his entry to the USA version has left fans stunned beyond belief.
Love Island’s Scott goes to the USA version
The 22-year-old Welsh footballer entered the Stateside franchise and made his debut on the USA screens last night (August 18). The US version is filming in Hawaii and Scott is one of the bombshells.
According to The Sun, Contestant Kassy Castillo received a text from Scott for a date. It read:
Kassy, come and meet me at the front of the villa for a secret date, don't tell anyone.
Scott then did the famous slow-motion and said:
I'm Scott, and I'm from Wales in the UK. I was in Love Island UK, I didn't find love, so I thought why not take it international.
Kassy instantly recognised him from the UK version and said:
Wait, stop. You're from the UK one?
Many fans were left devastated to see him continue his journey of finding love when he appeared to be cosying up to Catherine after the villa. However, many also defend his move of a second shot at love. They commented on his Instagram post:
Scott is free to do whatever as he’s single ..why y’all wailing 😂😭😭
The LI folks knew he was going to the USA one and are supporting him… he’s a single man. Y’all are doing absolutely WAYYYY too much.
