Scott van-der-Sluis is heading back to the Love Island villa after a three-year break – making this his fourth time on the show.
Scott arrived at the villa unexpectedly last night, January 15th, and immediately confronted Sean Stone, leading to a heated argument where some uncomfortable truths were shared.
When Scott arrived at the villa, he was asked to identify the couples he believed weren’t a good fit. He said he only saw potential in one person from the pairing of Sean and Belle.
Scott bluntly told Sean that he thought he was one of the worst contestants ever on the show, leaving Sean completely surprised.
Wow, that episode left me on the edge of my seat! While we’re all desperately waiting to see what happens next, I decided to do a little digging and find out what Scott’s been up to since he first appeared on the show. Let me tell you what I discovered…

Who is Scott van-der-Sluis?
Scott van-der-Sluis is a footballer who has played for several clubs, including Bangor City, Runcorn Linnets, and Shelbourne.
Well, it was quite a surprise back in June when Shelbourne announced that Scott had left the team – and not for another football club, but to join the cast of Love Island! The manager quickly made it clear that Scott wouldn’t be coming back to play for them, so it seems his football career is on hold while he searches for love on the show.
What season of Love Island was Scott van-der-Sluis on?
Scott van-der-Sluise was a contestant on the tenth season of Love Island, which aired in the summer of 2023. Jess Harding and Sammy Root ultimately won that season.
He was dumped alongside Abi Moores just days before the final.
What has Scott van-der-Sluis done since Love Island 2023?
After becoming known on season 10 of Love Island UK, he surprised viewers by appearing on Love Island USA’s fifth season as a new contestant. However, his time on the show was short-lived, lasting only a week before he was eliminated.
Scott’s television appearances continued with a spot on Love Island Games, but he didn’t last long—he was eliminated after just three days, even shorter than his previous two times on the show.
Scott expanded his search for love, appearing on the Netflix show Perfect Match, where he quickly became involved with Juliette Porter.
Why is Scott van-der-Sluis returning for Love Island All Stars?
I have to say, watching Scott on Love Island All Stars, it’s clear he’s really come full circle. He’s spoken a lot about how being on the show initially in 2023 felt like the start of something, and he always envisioned All Stars as where his reality TV story would ultimately end. It’s like he knew this season would be the perfect final chapter for him.
He feels like he’s missing a genuine connection and hopes to find someone to share his life with and who cares for him in return.
Scott explained that while he presented himself as mature last season, he often felt young and inexperienced compared to the other contestants.
I’ve reached a point in my mid-twenties where I have a much clearer idea of my goals and what I want out of life, compared to how I felt at 22.
Love Island: All Stars continues on Friday 16th January at 9pm on ITV2.
Okay, let me tell you, if you’re even remotely into reality TV, you need to download the TopMob: What to Watch app. Seriously, it’s become my go-to for finding shows, and right now, it’s telling me Love Island: All Stars is a must-watch. The app gives you daily recommendations and all sorts of TV features, but honestly, just knowing it flagged this show is enough for me – add it to your watchlist now!
