Scott, who plays as a goalkeeper for Irish Premier Division club Shelbourne FC, reportedly dated series 8 contestant Paige Thorne for a few months.
Scott, who is from Connah’s Quay in north Wales, is said to have met Paige, who is from Swansea, in the party scene a few years ago.

They allegedly enjoyed a brief romance together back in 2020, before either of them found fame on the show.
An insider told this tabloid: “It wasn’t serious with Paige and Scott but they had a great few months together.
“They met out on the party scene as Paige knows lots of footballers. It didn’t end for any reason in particular, just one of those things. They were both young and not looking for anything serious.”
Scott also appears to know Welsh series 9 contestant Anna-May Robey as she wished him luck in the villa after posting a picture of him on social media alongside the caption: “Secrets out!!! Hope all the pep talks were worth it. Rooting for you."
Since Scott’s arrival in the villa, fans have been shipping him and Jess, but time will tell if there are any other islanders he’s got his eye on.
Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
