The brother of Edinburgh's Love Island star, Jay Younger, has said he hopes that his sibling will go on to win the show, similar to their family pal, Calum Best.
Tom Younger, also from Edinburgh, revealed that footballing legend George Best's son, Calum, was left in the care of his and Jay's dad when he played for Hibs.
Jay has said that he is incredibly proud to be the grandson of former Scotland, Liverpool and Hibs goalkeeper, Tommy Younger.

The football fame doesn't end there for the family, however. George Best's son, Calum appeared on the 2006 series of Love Island, which feels like a lifetime ago now.
The Record report that now, Jay is gunning to come out on top, just like the star his dad used to babysit for.
Tom, said: “When George played for Hibs, my father would take Calum Best to the cinema.”
Tom revealed that the former Man United star had an emotional link with his and Jay’s family.
Best had been a shock celebrity signing for Hibs in the 1979/1980 season as they battled to avoid relegation to the First Division.
George returned to Easter Road to take part in a one-off game in which all the Hibs team wore specially commissioned tops with the late goalkeeper’s name emblazoned across their chests.
The match had been a testimonial benefit game between Hibs and Newcastle United in honour of Hibs favourite Jackie McNamara Snr.
It was sponsored by the Tommy Younger Bar, a pub set up by Jay’s aunt Janis, in memory of her father.
Best gifted the signed Hibs shirt he wore to Jay’s dad, as a thank you for looking after his son.
Tom said: “Jackie McNamara Sr’s testimonial was sponsored by my aunty Janis. My grandfather was going to invest in a bar with my aunty prior to his passing. My aunt decided to proceed with the investment and called it the Tommy Younger Bar.
“George Best wanted to play in the testimonial game, as he played alongside Jackie at Hibs. George gave my father his number 7 shirt and signed it after the testimonial event.”
TV presenter and model Calum best won the show alongside Bianca Gascoigne, the daughter of England, Rangers and Spurs star, Paul.
The show's obsession with footballing history have continued this series, not only through Jay, but 19-year-old Gemma Owen is the daughter of former Liverpool and Real Madrid forward, Michael, who has remained tight-lipped on his daughter's inclusion in the show.
Jay has certainly brought a bit of spice to the villa since he was introduced as a bombshell earlier in the week, with the 28-year-old not letting anyone get in his way of pursuing his ideal girl.
Tommy, Jay and Tom's grandfather, won 24 Scotland caps, four as captain, and played 181 times for Hibs and 120 for Liverpool.
This year he was inducted into the Hibernian Hall of Fame with tributes at the induction ceremony led by Kenny Dalglish.
Tom said: “Words cannot describe how proud we are of my grandfather.
“He achieved an exceptional amount in football.
“All our family were able to celebrate his recent induction into the Hibernian Hall of Fame.
“He is also part of the Liverpool Player ‘Roll of Honour’.
“When my grandfather died, while president of the Scottish FA, he had so much more to give to football.”
