Love Island viewers were shocked to learn the age of the new bombshell Scott who plays for League of Ireland team Shelbourne FC, after he entered the Mallorca villa.
While not from Ireland himself, the Welshman Scott-van-der-Sluis had been playing with the Dublin side, and was subsequently released to join the Love Island villa for season 10 as a 'bombshell.'
Speaking earlier, Shelbourne manager and Ireland legend Damien Duff said: "“I was shocked and saddened that Scott chose a villa in Mallorca full of beautiful single women over myself, the staff and the players," Duff said, jokingly.
"All jokes aside, I thank Scott for his services to Shelbourne FC and we all wish him the very best for the future, whatever that holds," the Duffer added.
Scott who's youth career included Manchester United, Liverpool and Swansea, went on a date with islander Jess, who has been in the show since the beginning of the season, after she won a football challenge earlier in the programme this Thursday.
She was shocked to learn that Scott was only 22-years-old, the same age as herself and after the 6 ft 1 keeper revealed who he played for, she admitted: "I've never heard of that team."
Scott has also previously dated a Love Islander from season eight, Paige Thorne, with the relationship lasting several months. The pair met at a party circuit, according to The Sun.
One viewer reacted to this revelation saying "how is everyone connected wthh" while another said: "@LoveIsland stop putting people in there who are connected to past islanders."
Another commenter remarked upon the former League of Ireland footballer: "Jess and Scott look good together. I hope he likes her and doesn't go for the predictable choice like Molly or Leah."
