Love Island's newest contestant Jay Younger is hunky Edinburgh athlete with ex-Scotland captain in his family

New Love Island Scot Jay Younger is a prime bit of Scottish beefcake who reckons: “I think I genuinely have what most females want.”

The gym fanatic who was an award-winning athlete when he was younger is also not just easy on the eye for the ladies he’s also super bright.

Jay is an investment analyst for Aubrey Capital Management and studied economics and finance at Heriot-Watt University.

The 28-year-old from Edinburgh, was a shock bombshell at the end of tonight’s episode after Jacques chose Paige and Afia was dumped.

The Scot, from Musselburgh, who went to Edinburgh’s Merchiston, reckoned he has it all and could really stir it up with the girls already in the villa who have coupled up.

He said: “I’ve got a good job, I think I am a good looking lad and I have a lot of fun so I feel like I could add a lot of value to their lives if they add a lot of value to mine.”

He also has a claim to fame, his grandfather Tommy Younger was a former Scotland football captain and also played for Liverpool.

The goalie, who passed away in 1984 aged 53, played for Liverpool in the 50s, played 24 times for Scotland between 1955-58 captaining the national side for four games in 1958.
