Scottish Love Island star Jay Younger has been stirring up trouble since his recent arrival into the Spanish villa.
The Edinburgh-based fitness buff immediately took a liking to Turkish soap star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, who he shared a secret kiss with, despite her being coupled with Italian stallion Davide Sanclimenti. The 28-year-old hunk has been showing off his impressive physique on the ITV2 dating show, as outwith the show he often competes in extreme fitness competitions across the UK.
To train for these events, Jay is a regular gym-goer at CaveFit Gym in Edinburgh, writes the Mirror. The reality star is a keen sportsman and a glimpse at his Instagram tells the tale of his incredible fitness journey.

The budding reality star has never been in bad shape and his first post from 2015 showed him tensing his muscles as he competed in his first 4x400 meter relay race. During his university days, Jay entered bodybuilding competitions and was a full-time 400m athlete at Loughborough University on a sports scholarship.
Jay later went on to compete in the National Fitness Games, with his team finishing in second place. He has since built up a noticeably bigger and muscular physique and recently placed second in the mixed elite round of Turf Games, a global functional fitness competition.
He showed off his incredible fitness gains as he posed on social media with his coach Blair Sangster following the competition. As well as an intense workout schedule, Jay requires a serious diet plan to maintain his bulging biceps and rippling abs.

He recently left Love Island viewers disgusted as he was caught drinking a glass full of raw eggs, which his trainer later confirmed was part of his routine. Speaking on Instagram, Blair said: "I can confirm the six raw eggs EVERY morning is true. Well, five egg whites and one whole egg."
Financial adviser Jay is said to eat at least 4,500 calories each day to keep on top of his muscly physique. His coach said he eats about eight to ten Weetabix for breakfast, paired with protein powder, berries and full fat milk. Jay will eat lunches and dinners which often consist of salmon, rice, potatoes and a lot of vegetables.
Blair said: "He loves a burger from a place called Bell’s Diner in Edinburgh. I’m pretty sure he went there every Saturday for about 12 weeks in a row."
Jay isn't the only fitness fan in his family as his grandad, Tommy, is something of a sporting hero. Tommy Younger played for Liverpool FC and was captain of Scotland back in the 1950s. He was featured in the hall of fame for Liverpool and Hibernian FC.
Tommy enjoyed an international football career and was capped by Scotland 24 times, in an unbroken sequence spanning three years. After retiring, he became vice president of the Scottish Football Association and held the position until his death on January 13, 1984
