Love Island's Scott joins the US series amid 'reunion' rumours with Catherine

Scott van-der-Sluis will get a second chance at finding love in the sun this year as he's set to appear on Love Island USA.

The UK Love Island star set pulses racing in the UK version of the series which came to an end just last month. His second attempt at finding romance comes just days after sparking rumours he had reconciled with former co-star Catherine Agbaje.

Scott is scheduled to enter the US version of the ITV show during Friday's instalment as a bombshell. Islander Kassy Castillo receives a text telling her to go meet a mystery new arrival outside the villa. A teaser clip for the upcoming episode shows the Islander receiving a text, which reads: "Kassy, come and meet me at the front of the villa for a secret date, don't tell anyone."

Love Island USA tweeted the clip with the caption: "Blow-ups, ballers and a surprise Bombshell!" In the clip, Scott makes his entrance with Kassy completely unaware the man she's about it meet already attempted to find love earlier this year. He says: "I'm Scott, and I'm from Wales in the UK. I was in Love Island UK, I didn't find love, so I thought why not take it international."

Kassy recognises Scott when she first spots him, having seen him on the first few weeks of Love Island UK, which aired before the US version premiered in July. "Wait, stop. You're from the UK one?" Kassy asks. One confused fan tweeted: "What in the multiverse," while another wrote: "This is a joke! Get Scott out of this villa."

Catherine and Scott sparked rumours they were heading for a reconciliation earlier this month when they refused to deny they were a couple on the Love Island Reunion show. Scott and Catherine were seemingly a strong couple before Casa Amor, which saw Catherine return with bombshell Elom Ahlijah-Wilson, leaving her former partner devastated.

Catherine and Elom split shortly after they were booted out of the villa but, it was reported Scott and his former partner slid into each other's DMs when they were both back in the UK. "We're in a good place with it. We were friends before Catherine left the villa," Scott said on the Love Island Reunion.
