Love Island star Scott van-der-Sluis shocked fans after it emerged he’s signed up for Love Island Games just weeks after he appeared on both Love Island UK and Love Island USA.
The former footballer, 22, was brought in as a bombshell on Love Island UK but was dumped from the villa after failing to find love with Catherine Agbaje or Abi Moores.
Less than a month after leaving the show fans were shocked to see him pop up on Love Island USA, but his stint was short lived and he was dumped after just five days.
Now he’s set to work on the franchise again with Love Island Games, which brings together former Islanders from the UK, US and Australian series for a second shot at love and to compete to be crowned the champion.
The international series will see the stars ‘faced with both team and couples’ challenges, all while navigating dating, eliminations, recoupling and dramatic new arrivals.’

Leading the way in the awkward stakes is undoubtedly Eyal Booker and Megan Barton Hanson, who appeared on 2018’s fourth season, after their brief union and romps ended in tears and a fractious exchange.
Following their departure from the villa, the showbiz world was rocked when A-lister Scott Disick sent Megan an acerbic message about her treatment of her co-star – in which he insisted she ‘took advantage of his vulnerability’.
From the same season are former stars Jack Fowler and Georgia Steel, who shared a kiss which culminated in one of the biggest dramas of the season, while social media host Maura Higgins, of series five fame, will reunite with ex Curtis Pritchard.
Love Island Games is set to make its debut on November 1 with Maura Higgins as host. Episodes will stream six days a week on Peacock, Sky TV and NOW TV.
