A Love Island All Stars contestant has been LEAKED – as the reality TV contestant’s footballer brother accidentally spilled the news of his sign up to the series.
The contestant, who has previously taken part in three versions of the show, Love Island UK, Love Island USA and Love Island Games, is said to be back for more.
Footballer Scott van‑der‑Sluis, who is the younger brother of Jamie Reed, the striker for Bangor City 1876, is thought to be in the mix of singles returning to screens.
The news about Scott, 24, was spilled when Jamie, 38, confessed to strangers that his sibling’s return to telly was imminent, according to The Sun.
Scott will join a band of other singles jetting to South Africa in January, as Love Island All Stars returns for another series.
An insider told the publication: ‘[Jamie] was a bit tipsy and, to make small talk with younger people, he started telling them about his younger brother, Scott.

The former footballer, 24, has already starred in three different iterations of the hit dating show since 2023, after first coming in as a bombshell on season 10 (pictured)
‘He said, “You must know Scott, he was on Love Island”, and they did.
‘But I think Scott coming back will make brilliant telly because he’s controversial and conventionally attractive.’
Jamie currently plays and coaches for Welsh team Bangor City 1876, while Scott has played in youth teams for Manchester United, Liverpool and Swansea.
He was last on the pitch for Cheshire based side Runcorn Linnets in 2022, before moving to Irish team Shelbourne – later swapping football for the villa.
Daily Mail have contacted ITV for comment.
Earlier this year, it was thought Scott had pulled out of talks to appear in the show after he threw fans off the scent.
He was dumped from the villa on Day 52 when he appeared as a bombshell, but less than a month later, he shocked fans by popping up on Love Island USA.
Scott’s stint overseas was short lived, with him being dumped after just five days, so the star couldn’t resist signing up for the Love Island Games just a few weeks later for his third shot at love.

Scott spoke to fellow Islander Lochan Nowacki (right) on his YouTube cooking show, saying said he was considering going on the show with All Stars runner-up Luca Bish

He told fans that he had pulled back just two days before during talks to re-appear.
He told fellow Islander Lochan Nowacki on his YouTube cooking show, Scott said he was considering going on the show with All Stars runner-up Luca Bish.
Scott said at the time: ‘I was in a moment where I was like, “Right, yeah, I could do this, but if at any point I don’t feel like it at all or something, or I have a rethink, I’m more than prepared to pull out”.
‘And that just happened, I just thought this isn’t the time for me.’
He revealed that he had helped convince Luca to take part in the show however, as the pair built a strong friendship after connecting over a football project in the States.
Scott explained: ‘We were going to do some football project out in America and I wanted him on board, so we spoke on the phone.
‘And then we just ended up speaking on the phone for like an hour. And then we just became mates off it, like texting quite a bit, rang quite a bit.
‘So we’ve been close for like a year now. It was weird because it actually came around the time of the last All Stars. And he texted me on Insta, he was like, “not fancy doing this one?” I was like, “Nah, nah, can’t be bothered with this one.”

It comes after Scott confirmed he’d pulled out of All Stars season two last month, while chatting to Whitney Adebayo on her podcast What’s It Giving (seen)
‘Then towards the end of the year, once All Stars was coming out again, obviously we spoke to each other about whether we were going to do it or not. And I sort of persuaded him in a way to do it.
‘Every season there’s beautiful women in there, but that doesn’t mean that I’m going to like bounce off them.
‘So you honestly just don’t know, but when I looked at the lineup there was no one that I instantly thought “oh my God!”‘
While he also made a dig at the older age of this year’s contestants than usual, with Marcel Somerville being the oldest contestant yet at 39, and the majority of Islanders being in their late 20s and early 30s.
As Lochan teased his friend about how he would end up on the next series of Love Island, and joked he’d still be in the villa as ‘an old man’, Scott continued to deny it.
He insisted: ‘I want to be married with three kids by the age of like 32 or two. Oh God you will not find me on any sort of dating show past the age of 28 maximum.’
While he added: ‘You know what’s mad is that Whit [Whitney Adebayo] spent more days on Love Island than I have, when you actually add up the days on the seasons. I’ve not been on Love Island that much!
‘I mean Casey [O’Gorman] did what I couldn’t do go on it three times and win it on the third try.’
While he admitted his ex Catherine Agbaje being in the villa also played a factor, saying: ‘ Obviously me and Cat if we were put in that situation again, then you never know what could happen’ (seen on show together)
Scott previously confirmed he’d pulled out of All Stars season two earlier this year, while chatting to Whitney Adebayo on her podcast What’s It Giving.
He explained: ‘I just didn’t feel like it was the right time, you know when you know. Did I feel like it was the right time to walk in that Villa? Personally, no.’
While he admitted his ex Catherine Agbaje being in the villa also played a factor, saying: ‘Obviously me and Cat 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.’
And he again made reference to the older age of the lineup, making another savage dig as 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.’
