Love Island season 2 star Scott Thomas is back in the villa for round two on Love Island All Stars in the hopes of finding the one. But beyond his search for love, Scott actually comes from one of the most popular families in the UK.
While the looks are pretty uncanny, some may be surprised to learn that his brothers are actors Adam Thomas and Ryan Thomas who have starred on Emmerdale and Corronation Street respectively.
Together with Adam and Ryan's wives, their children and their mum Gail Waring, the family document their life and share funny skits on TikTok where they have 440,000 followers and 4.4 million likes. Think of the Thomas Family as the UK's answer to The Kardashians, which makes Gail the British Kris Jenner.
So, while Scott gets to know his good friend India Reynolds romantically in the villa, here's everything you need to know about his family and all of his nieces and nephews...
