Scottish Love Island star's adorable baby snap throwback posted on social media

After East Lothian star Jay Younger was saved from a certain dumping from the Love Island villa on Wednesday night, fans have been cooing over his adorable baby photo posted on social media.

The Musselburgh boy landed himself in hot water with islander Danica, as he admitted he wanted to get to know Antigoni instead - but she picked newcomer Charlie. Jay looked to be heading out of the villa as Danica had the choice to send him packing.

But the gracious girl saved the local lad's skin by coupling up with him, which caused an uproar among viewers who were excited to see him leave. But, the East Lothian boy is safe for another week.

Jay's family are currently running his social medias while the hunk is in the villa, and they decided to expose his cute side by posting a baby photo during a Q&A session. The photo was captioned: "with his pal Charlie", alongside a wide-eyed emoji.

The cheeky chap was all smiles as he wrapped an arm around his friend Charlie, with the mischievous glint in his eye from a young age. All of Jay's friends are buzzing to see him in the villa, and one pal thinks he has the gall to go all the way to the final.

Earlier this month, Edinburgh Live reported that best mate and personal trainer to Jay, Blair Sangster, feels that the star has what it takes to win Love Island this year.

He said: "When it comes to relationships, I'd say Jay is an absolute catch. He's got a strong moral compass.

"The effort that gets put into the gym is equalled by what he does for his relationships. I've never known Jay to need a wingman.

"He's a confident lad and a gentleman and I'm sure he'll be that way in the villa. I don't know anyone that doesn't like Jay.

"I think he'll try to play it cool but also do his best to make a connection with someone that he likes."

Love Island resumes on Thursday June 30 at 9pm on ITV2. It will be available for catch-up thereafter on the ITV Hub.
