LOVE Island’s Scott Thomas emotionally announced his villa exit aired tonight, sending his co-stars into tears.
During Sunday night’s All Stars, Scott, 36, revealed he was leaving the show after struggling to form a genuine connection with Tina Stinnes, 29, and previously-dumped India Reynolds, 34.
His departure followed a tense argument with Elma Pazar and Tina, after which he decided the experience “wasn’t for him”.
Scott first broke the news to Luca Bish at the fire pit, telling him, “I just wanted to let you know first.
“I can’t force connections, and I feel like I’ve come here and done everything I wanted to do. I just have to be true to myself.”
Gathering the rest of the islanders, he made an emotional farewell speech, saying, “I don’t want this to be sad, guys, because I’ve had the best time ever, but I’ve made the decision to leave.
“I’ve had the best time ever. Every single one of you is amazing.”
The announcement left several islanders teary-eyed, with emotions running high as Scott packed his bags.
Having first appeared on series two of Love Island, Scott had been coupled up with Tina, 29.
However, after doubts crept in about their relationship, he ultimately decided to call it off.
His decision to cool things off led to a fiery clash with Elma, who told him he should “leave the villa” and “go” since “nothing was here for him”.
