Emmerdale star Adam Thomas has been spilling the tea on his twin brother Scott’s reappearance in Love Island.
Adam revealed that Scott, 36, had reservations about re-entering the villa. PR manager Scott, who first appeared on the ITV dating show nearly eight years ago and dated Kady McDermott for a year after, is now taking part in the Love Island: All Stars spin-off in South Africa.
On This Morning on Wednesday, Adam shared with hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard that Scott was hesitant to share the news with others, fearing they might dissuade him due to his age.
Adam explained: “When he was going in there, he didn’t want to tell anyone because he was scared that people were going to talk him out of it, because he is 36-years-old going into Love Island, but he is just doing what he wants to do.”

Ryan, 40, shared his reactions while watching the premiere episode alongside his wife Lucy Mecklenburgh, as well Adam.
“Don’t take Scott, don’t do it,” urged Ryan, while a glimpse of Adam showed him predicting: “She’s going to pick Scott.”
Amidst this anticipation, viewers witnessed an unexpected moment as Ekin-Su deliberated her choices; Scott covertly remarked to India: “She slid into my DMs a few times,” prompting gasps from his family.
