If you're wondering why Love Island: All Stars' Scott Thomas looks so darn familiar, well, first and foremost he appeared on Love Island series 2 (the best series in our opinion) in 2016 and dated Kady McDermott for a TIME after meeting her on the show.

BUT, there's also a chance you recognise his handsome face because he has TWO very famous brothers who he happens to look exactly like. Scott's famous brothers are none other than Coronation Street icon Ryan Thomas and former Emmerdale star Adam Thomas and yeah, he looks just like them. We know they're brothers, but WOW, those are some strong genes...

What you might not know is Adam is actually Scott's twin and he's been very vocal on socials as of late – what with his brother being on the telly every night and all – so we thought we'd do a deep dive into his life in the spotlight.

To be honest, it's just an excuse for us to download and drool over pics of him and his brothers and call it work.
