Reality TV favourite Scott van-der-Sluis has made a dramatic return to our screens, entering the villa for Love Island All Stars 2026. The Welsh contestant, who first found fame in 2023, is hoping that his fourth stint in the franchise will finally lead to lasting romance.
From Series 10 Bombshell to All Stars Veteran
Scott van-der-Sluis originally appeared on Love Island series 10 in 2023. He entered as a bombshell on day 11 and quickly formed a connection with fellow islander Catherine Agbaje. However, their romance was short-lived after Catherine returned from the infamous Casa Amor twist coupled up with someone else.
This left Scott in a difficult position, and he was ultimately dumped from the villa on day 52 while in a friendship couple with Abi Moores. Despite his early exit, Scott's journey was far from over, marking the beginning of a prolific reality TV career.
A Global Love Island Journey
Scott's appearance on Love Island All Stars 2026 marks his fourth time participating in the franchise. Just days after leaving the UK villa, he flew out to join Love Island USA as a bombshell, though his stay lasted only a week.
He later tested his competitive skills on the international spin-off, Love Island Games, entering later in the series and being eliminated after a few days. Ahead of his All Stars entrance, Scott described this latest chapter as the "final" part of his Love Island journey, expressing a sincere hope to find something "real" with a partner.
