Scott Thomas has broken his silence following the shock news that his ex-girlfriend Kady McDermott is heading back into the Love Island villa for a second chance at finding “the one”.
Known as a “pocket rocket” because of her feisty nature, Kady, 27, is a Love Island legend having appeared in the second series of the hit ITV2 show, where she soon coupled up with Scott.
The pair finished third in their series and moved to Manchester together before splitting up a year later leaving fans of the show devastated.
Since then, Kady has had a string of relationships including with TOWIE star Myles Barnett as well as a brief romance with Matty Cash.
While 34-year-old Scott, who is the brother of actos Ryan and Adam Thomas, didn’t directly address Kady returning to the show on which they first met, Scott did reflect on how far he has come since then, including his decision back in 2020 to go sober.
Speaking to BBC Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough in an episode of his Learning As I Go podcast, Scott told viewers that ditching the booze was an attempt to fall in love with himself.
Sharing a clip from the chat on his Instagram account, Scott wrote in the accompanying caption: “I always say that being sober on a night out is like having a superpower. Back in my partying days, when I met someone who was sober on a night out, someone who was purely just enjoying life, I felt like they were a superhero.
“They were people that I looked up to and almost admired. I never thought for one second, I could ever be that guy,” he continued.
“I needed alcohol for confidence, and it was almost by “escape” from life every single time I went out.
“However, through deciding to go sober I’ve started to become really comfortable with who I am, and I don’t feel like I need to become someone else anymore to enjoy myself,” he concluded.
