Love Island bombshell Scott QUITS lucrative job for TV fame as employers issue statement

Love Island's latest bombshell has already quit his job for the ITV2 show as his employers speak out.

Hunky footballer Scott is the latest contestant to enter the villa, just days after two new girls caused chaos and split up couples.

Newcomer Scott Van-der-Sluis will enter on Thursday night's episode as the sixth bombshell of this series.

He clearly has high hopes for his Love Island stint as he takes a break from his career to participate in the show.

Scott has been granted a release from his contract at Shelbourne Football Club.

The Welsh goalkeeper signed for the Irish Premier Division club last summer and has made three appearances so far.

Upon announcing the news, Head Coach Damien Duff joked: "I was shocked and saddened that Scott chose a villa in Mallorca full of beautiful single women over myself, the staff and the players.

"All jokes aside, I thank Scott for his services to Shelbourne FC and we all wish him the very best for the future, whatever that holds."

Whilst Scott said: "I'd like to thank Shelbelbourne FC for everything they've done for me, the lads, staff, fans and people around the club have been brilliant with me since coming in.

"I've loved my time at Shels, Football is all I've ever done, all I've ever known. So this is a new and exciting opportunity for a change-up in life.

"Shels are a great club going in the right direction and I look forward to seeing what the lads can achieve. Shels is my club now, I look forward to cheering on the lads as a fan."

Scott's arrival comes after the second dumping of the series on Wednesday night.

Ruchee said goodbye to the villa for good, as her pal Ella was saved by their co-stars in the latest brutal dumping twist.

Following a dramatic recoupling, Ella was left single after new girl Leah stole her man Tyrique - while Ruchee was left alone after André picked Catherine.

As Ella and Ruchee waited to learn their fates, they were told one of them would be leaving and that the decision would be down to the other Islanders.

Fellow Islanders deliberated amid Ella's ongoing connection to Tyrique, which gave her an advantage as Ruchee had no connection in the villa.

As Ella and Ruchee watched on, Mehdi confirmed they had decided to save Ella and that Ruchee would be dumped immediately.

Love Island airs every night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
