Scott entered the villa on day one and came third place with Kady McDermott in the final.

Currently coupled up with Tina Stinnes, who was also in Scott’s series back in 2016, you’d think his brothers would be rooting for him to go all the way with his love interest.

But it seems that one of Scott’s brother’s has another favourite All Star contestant.

Scott’s brothers are famous soap actors Ryan Thomas and his twin Adam Thomas. 

Ryan, who starred in Coronation Street as Jason Grimshaw, is the eldest of the brothers at 40 years old.

While Love Island hunk Scott and Adam, who starred in Emmerdale as Adam Barton, are twins who are both 36 years old. 

And it’s Ryan who has shared who is “favourite” Love Island: All Stars contestant is.

On Luca Bish’s Instagram account, his family running it while he’s in the villa penned: “Almost another week down @loveisland.

“As a family we couldn’t be any prouder and I WISH he could see how much love there is for him. What are we thinking so far?!“

BRUTAL SNUB

Commenting on the post, Ryan penned: “My favourite guy.”

Fans were quick to react to the Emmerdale star’s comment, with one person writing: “poor Scott x.”

Another added: “That’s funny. I think Scott will gets loads of votes no one will want him out. Hope it works with him and Tina.”

“That is one very funny comment,” penned a third.

“You can’t say that,” added a fourth.

The person running Luca’s account also replied to Ryan’s comment, with them writing: “You best delete this one before the final.”

PRAISE FOR LUCA BISH

Other fans were quick to praise Luca, with one person writing: “I think Luca is my favourite. I love his honesty. I loved how he stood up for Ronnie and told Ekin to sit down as she wasn’t even at the fire pit.

“Also when he feels people are wrong he will call people out. Love Luca and hope he finds the ONE.”

While a second said: “True colours coming through, proud of my boy.”

And a third penned: “He is amazing and love seeing all the positive post for him. Can’t wait to see what this can bring for in once he is out!”

MARK CHAPMAN led fury and amazement from fans as Myles Lewis-Skelly was sent off after one of the “worst decisions ever”.

The Arsenal midfielder was just outside his own area when he cynically tripped  Wolves defender Matt Doherty and saw red.

This red card for Myles Lewis-Skelly sparked outrage[/caption]

Puzzled viewers at first wondered if Lewis-Skelly was dismissed for denying a clear scoring chance – even though it was so far out.

But a Premier League statement later clarified VAR had checked for “serious foul play” – with referee Michael Oliver’s decision upheld.

Chapman, who will share duties as BBC Match of the Day host, called the decision “baffling and nonsensical from supposedly one of our best referees.”

Beeb 5Live pundit Pat Nevin said labelling such a challenge serious foul play was setting “a bar so low even a limbo dancing snake couldn’t get under it”.

And one fan posted: “I’m all for Arsenal having a beast but that is never ever a red card, one of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen.”

Another observer wrote: “It’s outrageous. If it was close to Arsenal goal or even near the half way line I could maybe accept but that is a terrible decision.”

and a third viewer said: as much as I dislike them … a horrible decision from the ref! Mad how that’s been given

AN URGENT warning has been issued for thousands of commuters – as many routes are experiencing some disruption due to the impact of Storm Eowyn.

As many public transport services are slowly resuming operations across the country, Irish Rail services have resumed, but some routes remain closed or delayed.

Storm Eowyn has caused catastrophic damage across the country, bringing down trees and powerlines.

Thousands of households across the country are still without power and water supplies.

After the red warnings were lifted, many people were itching to get their weekend back on track after being derailed by the disruptive weather event.

Several Irish Rail routes have reopened after the weather event, but significant disruption remains due to power outages or damage to the tracks.

The affected rail services are:

• Westport/Ballina to Heuston
• Connolly to Belfast
• Sligo to Connolly

Due to the disruption, bus transfers are in place but they are currently limited.

No bus transfers are operating from Enfield/Kilcock.

A spokesperson for Irish Rail revealed that the disruption is mainly due to “a major power outage from Storm Eowyn”.

They stated that it is affecting the operation and monitoring of automatic level crossings on both routes, as well as fallen trees remaining on the Sligo/Westport lines.

Despite most Irish Rail services operating again, customers are reminded that the Dublin’s Connolly to Drogheda/Howth line is closed for planned rail works.

This means that the Northside DART, Northern Commuter and Dublin/Belfast services are currently not operating for the weekend and will resume on Monday.

Customers are urged not to undertake any travel without checking that services are operational; this can be done on the Irish Rail website or their social media pages for updates.

Affected customers with bookings will be automatically refunded.

DUBLIN AIRPORT CHAOS

Elsewhere, holidaymakers heading to Dublin Airport have faced some “mayhem” due to a road closure after the Terminal 2 facade was damage during Storm Eowyn yesterday.

Ireland’s top airport was severely hit by the storm, with flights in and out of the capital severely impacted.

But despite Storm Eowyn passing passengers were still being hit by travel chaos as traffic to parts of Dublin Airport was at a “standstill”.

Dublin Airport announced that due to Storm Eowyn damage, the underpass road leading to Terminal 1 Departures and the T1 short-term car park was closed.

The closure affected the main route to Terminal 1, but diversions were in place to ensure passengers can still access both T1 and the car park.

Airport officials confirmed that the road has reopened this morning, so the disruption for passengers should be short-lived.

TWO members of the Police Service of Northern Ireland have been injured after their vehicle was rammed in Newry, Co Down.

The shocking incident occurred in the Belfast Road area at around 11:20pm on Friday, January 24.

The cops were alerted to a “suspected stolen vehicle” which was parked in the forecourt of a garage in the area, where the car was used as a weapon against them.

The officers attempted to speak with the occupants of the car, where the “driver accelerated and collided” with one of the vehicles, which caused extensive damage and injures to the two officers inside.

It was reported that the suspected stolen car was a blue Mazda Demio, which was later located in the Bessbrook area.

Inspector Alastair MacDonald said: “Two call signs attended, and when officers attempted to speak with the occupants, the driver accelerated and collided with one of the vehicles, causing extensive damage and injuries to the two officers inside.

“The suspected stolen car, a blue Mazda Demio, was later located in the Bessbrook area.

“This vehicle was, in effect, used as a weapon against our officers. It is unacceptable that those working to keep their community safe should be targeted in this way.

“We’re thankful that our colleagues don’t appear, at this stage, to have suffered significant injury, but the outcome could have been much worse.”

The officers’ vehicle “sustained such significant damage” that it had to be recovered from the scene and will be off the road for repairs.

Mr MacDonald added that the vehicle being damage “impacts on the local community”.

He stated: “Those responsible should expect to be brought before the courts to face the consequences of their actions.”

The Police Service of Northern Ireland are currently appealing for information, including dashcam or other footage to make available for the cops as they investigate the incident.

This can be done by calling 101, quoting reference 2932 of 24/1/25.

ANOTHER POLICE VEHICLE RAMMED

In a separate incident, a second police vehicle was rammed by a silver van in the Dobsons Way of Bessbrook, just after 2:30am this morning.

Fortunately for the officers, there were no reports of any injuries or severe damage caused to the police vehicle.

He added: “Thankfully, there are no reports of any injuries, or any serious damage to the police vehicle. 

“Our enquiries are ongoing and I would ask anyone with information that could assist us to contact 101, quoting reference 142 of 25/1/25.”

Alternatively, both reports can be submitted online by using their non-emergency reporting form.
