The boss of East Lothian Love Island star Jay Younger is adamant his investment analyst man will go on to snatch the victory on the ITV2 dating show.
As reported by The Scottish Sun, the Musselburgh boy was announced on the show earlier this week as the newest bombshell to hit the villa, alongside Manchester model Remi Lambert.
After 28-year-old left his professional sport dreams in the past, Aubrey Capital Management snapped up the worker and he now looks after millions of pounds in wealth management.

The Edinburgh-based company are behind their employee for the win, and feels his day job will give him an advantage in swooning the ladies on the show.
CEO of Aubrey Capital Management, Andrew Ward, told the Sun: "This is an incredible opportunity for Jay.
"His Aubrey colleagues are really pleased for him and wish him all success in the villa - we know he can win.
"He’s such a great guy - smart, funny and an excellent team member - plus, he must be the fittest person any of us know and he certainly encourages the rest of us to keep fit.

"We’ll miss him whilst he’s away and look forward to his return
"We were surprised, but given Jay’s analytical skills he’s likely worked out how to approach this in the most competitive manner."
Jay is already causing some trouble with the boys in the villa, as reported by Edinburgh Live earlier, when he got into it with islander Jacques O'Neill.
Jay smirked as he quipped on the show: "I'm not here to make friends, I'm not here for seasonal boyfriends."
Jacques replied: "What do you do then big boy?", to which Jay said: "I work in finance as an investment analyst."
Jacques decided to boast by saying: "Yeah? I play rugby, lad...", but he certainly was not expecting Jay's quick comeback.
Jay replied: "You're pretty small for a rugby player, no?"
Visibly annoyed from this sly dig, Jacques said: "If you probably run at me, I'll flatten you mate!"
So, is this just witty banter, or a rivalry in it's humble beginnings? Only time will tell.
Love Island resumes on Wednesday June 15 at 9pm on ITV2.
