LOVE Island star Scott van der Sluis has revealed why he turned down the chance to be an All stars bombshell after weeks of secret talks.
The reality star even admitted to who he would have picked if he’d has his second chance at love in the villa.
Scott confirmed just last week that he pulled out of the current run of All Stars with just two days to go.
Now, speaking on fellow islander Whitney Adebayo’s podcast What’s It Giving, Scott revealed all on his near stint on the ITV2 series.
He said: “Well, we are referring to All Stars obviously, I just didn't feel like it was the right time, you know when you know."
He continued: “Did I feel like it was the right time to walk in that Villa? Personally, no."
Scott then discussed the elephant in the room - his ex Catherine Agbaje Obviou is in the villa.
"Obviously everyone's got an opinion about the situation and Catherine being in the Villa," he began, cautiously.
Host Whitney then asked: “If you were in there who would you have coupled up with?”
Scott replied: “Obviously me and Cat (Catherine) if we were put in that situation again, then you never know what could happen.
“But I feel like if we were put in that situation again and it didn't work and I went a different way, I feel like I just I would just get hated for it.”
He also went on to admit that his age had a big part to play in why he didn’t enter on this year’s show.
He said: “I'm 24 and a lot of the girls in there they're in their 30s, mid-30s, and when the cast was announced, there were conversations about me doing it. I was like, 'I'm 24. these are in the mid-thirties.'
“It's giving Love Island Old Stars.”
The star rose to fame on the tenth season of the dating show and quickly followed it up with two more stints on other editions of the programme.
On his first appearance on the show he was coupled up with Catherine.
But, after a brutal Casa Amor recoupling Catherine recoupled with singleton Elom instead, leaving Scott single.
Scott eventually recoupled with Abi Moores but was dumped from the Island a week before the final.
Mere weeks after being dumped from the villa the first-time around, Scott took part in Love Island USA before also going on to compete on the spin-off Love Island Games just weeks after that.
It saw Scott compete in three seasons of the programme within six months but since then he has stayed far away from the franchise.
