He's arguably one of the biggest Love Island stars going; from dating legendary Love Island 2016 bad girl Kady McDermott almost ten years ago to iconically walking out of the All Stars 2025 villa after failing to find a spark with Tina Stinnes just a couple of months ago.
So, it's safe to say that Scott Thomas' movements – especially his love life – are of interest to us showbiz journalists.
So you can imagine the way eyes widened when the media got wind that Scott was reportedly spotted checking out of a posh London hotel with a Love Island 2024 bombshell who is the spit of Tina last week.
And given the setting of this spotting, we're guessing Scott might've found a tad more of a, erm, spark with this blonde beaut...
The blonde in question is none other than Joey Essex's bombshell ex, Jessy Potts, who according to reports almost met Scott in the Love Island: All Stars villa earlier this year, but turned the opportunity down.
The pair both attended a performance of Back to the Future: The Musical in London's West End last week and ended up in The Londoner – Scott's 'London home' according to a recent Instagram story – reported The Sun.
A source told the publication, 'It's very early days but they enjoyed a fun night out together in the capital.
'Jessy is so his type and they would make a gorgeous couple. They both deserve some fun after tough times in the villa.'
Scott made the difficult decision to quit All Stars after failing to find a spark with his villa bae Tina Stinnes. While Tina was clearly attracted to Scott, there was something about Scott that was clearly holding back and after some heavy conversations with Love Island's welfare team, he decided it was only fair to stop leading Tina on and bow out of the experience altogether, much to the surprise of his fellow Islanders.
A few months before, Jessy was dating Joey, who she met on Love Island 2024. As soon as the couple were dumped and arrived back in the UK they were plagued by split rumours, eventually confirming the inevitable in September 2024.
Is anyone else getting a whiff of a showmance with Scott and Jessy, though? Don't come for us, we're just speculating 'cause, let's be honest, who even checks out of a hotel anymore? Scott and Jessy apparently; but, come on, it's not exactly giving discreet, is it?
We hope we're wrong, because there's no doubt that these two joining forces would make a serious Love Island power couple. Watch your backs Ekin-Su and Curtis...
