Love Island fans brand Scott van-der-Sluis a ‘game player’ and claim Tyrique Hyde ‘was right’ as he enters US show just weeks after leaving the villa

Love Island fans have branded Scott van-der-Sluis a ‘game player’ as he entered the US show just weeks after leaving the villa. 

The footballer, 22, appeared on the summer 2023 UK version of Love Island a mere matter of weeks ago and has already rejoined the franchise in Fiji.

During his stint on the UK series, Scott was accused of ‘over exaggerating his feelings’ towards then partner Catherine Agbaje to ‘stay on the show longer’ by fellow contestant Tyrique Hyde. 

UK viewers have now claimed that Tyrique ‘was right all along’, as despite leaving the Spanish villa single, he was quick to reenter the show for a second chance at love. 

Sharing their thoughts on Twitter, some social media users claim that people ‘owed Tyrique an apology’ while others said that they ‘didn’t see the issue with Scott taking part again.’

Correct: On the UK series, Scott was accused of ‘over exaggerating his feelings’ towards then partner Catherine Agbaje to ‘stay on the show longer’ by fellow contestant Tyrique Hyde

One fan shared:  ‘That man bashed Kady for going onto Love Island twice but he left the UK to come to America to be on Love Island usa in the same month Love Island UK ended, he’s not real.’

‘You Cath and Scott fans owe an apology to Tyrique, my boy was never wrong,’ another added. 

‘Scott on Love island USA?? He’s not beating the game player allegations, I’m just mad at how Catherine was treated but you lot. Tyrique was right,’ a third echoed. 

Someone else joked: ‘Scott… WHY THE F*** DID YOU BRING YO ASS TO AMERICA?!?!! Slowly thinking them mfs in the villa were right about you… Opportunist? I got my eyes on you buddy.’

Meanwhile, other fans of the show disagreed, with one posting: ‘I don’t understand all of this Scott slander? He didn’t find love on the first one, got an opportunity to go again and took it? What’s the issue?

‘If Scott came out of the villa single then what is the issue with him going on the US version of love island? He has no loyalties to anyone he can quite literally do what he wants,’ another wrote. 

Speaking after the show, Love Island host Sarah Hyland hinted at dramatic scenes as Scott got ready to enter the villa. 

In a clip shared to Instagram, she said: ‘When I tell you that tonight’s episode was wild… it was absolutely wild. I lost my head. I was going to bring out New York Sarah but I managed to keep it professional.’

Scott’s second attempt to find romance on Love Island comes despite sparking reconciliation rumours with co-star Catherine in recent days. 

Scott entered the villa during Friday’s episode when Kassy Castillo receives a text telling her to go and meet the mystery new bombshell outside the villa.

A teaser clip for the upcoming episodes shows Kassy receiving a text, which reads: ‘Kassy, come and meet me at the front of the villa for a secret date, don’t tell anyone.’

With Kassy unaware of who the new bombshell is, Scott then struts on screen, making his bombshell entrance to Love Island for the second time this summer.

He says: ‘I’m Scott, and I’m from Wales in the UK. I was in Love Island UK, I didn’t find love, so I thought why not take it international.’
