Love Island's latest arrival Scott Van-Der-Sluis is said to have already dated a previous contestant.
The Welsh goalkeeper, 22, became the sixth bombshell to arrive in the ITV2 villa on Thursday night.
Despite his short time in the villa so far, he has already enjoyed a romantic date with Jess.
It isn't the first time he has pulled a Love Islander as he previously had a romance with a brunette beauty.
The new bombshell, who is originally from Connah’s Quay in North Wales, is said to have dated non-other than season eight star Paige Thorne, 24.

The Swansea stunner reportedly met the football hunk whilst out on the party circuit.
The pair dated for a "couple of months" back in 2020.

Paige and Scott dated for a 'couple months' (paigethornex/Instagram)"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," a source told The Sun.
'"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, who played for Irish Premier Division club Shelbourne, also appears to know former islander, Anna-May Robey from the 2023 winter series.
She wished him well as he entered the villa by sharing a pic of Scott and writing: "Secrets out!!! Hope all the pep talks were worth it. Rooting for you."
Scott appears very serious about his stint on the show as he has even quit his job.
He has been granted a release from his contract at Shelbourne Football Club.
Upon announcing the news, Head Coach Damien Duff joked: "I was shocked and saddened that Scott chose a villa in Mallorca full of beautiful single women over myself, the staff and the players.

On his first day in the villa, the footballer went on a date with original Islander Jess after she won a challenge.
Yet viewers were left stunned as Jess revealed she was 22 years old, and asked him what his age was.
He left her gobsmacked as he revealed he is also 22 as she screamed: "Shut up! You look so much older."
Taking to Twitter, one viewer commented: "Idk if it’s me but these 22 years olds look so old."
Another fan said: "22? What kind of water are these islanders drinking? Theyre ageing way before their time."
The comments kept coming too with another tweet reading: "22??? Are these people SURE?"
