We can't say we saw this one coming. Mary Bedford, who competed on Love Island in 2021, was spotted getting cosy with Scott Thomas who competed on the match-making show in 2016.

Former islanders coming together
The two were seen attending a Stormzy concert in Manchester together and, as many on social media have said before us: they looked absolutely cute together. To add even more weight to the romance rumours that have sparked since being spotted together, the two posted the same picture in which Thomas has his arm draped around Bedford's shoulders, smiling and looking adorable.
Could this be the beginning of a fairy-tale romance?

What has Bedford been up to since the show?
Mary's time in the villa was rather short-lived. After being dumped by Toby Armolara, after he decided he wanted to get with Chloe Burrows, Bedford ended her time on the show coupled with Aaron Simpson. The couple eventually were dumped from the villa on day 52. During an interview talking about her time on the show and her relationship with Simpson, she said:
I will always be so grateful that we met as he’s a massive part of my Love Island journey. But I’m focusing on getting my head back in the right headspace which is why I haven’t been crazy active since coming out.
At the time, Bedford was going through a lot in her personal life after her grandmother—who she was very close with—had passed away and made it clear she wanted time to focus on herself. She has since been modelling and making a fair living as a social media influencer.
