Ryan Thomas gave his verdict on a potential match for his brother Scott as he returned to the Love Island villa on Monday night for the first time in nine years.
The Coronation Street star, 40, shared his reactions to Scott’s All Stars debut as he settled in to watch the drama unfold with wife Lucy Mecklenburgh, 33, brother Adam and the rest of the family Thomas.
But it was the end of the episode that really caught their attention, when 30-year-old Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu made her entrance as the season’s first bombshell and was given the power to steal one of the boys.
“Don’t take Scott, don’t do it,” Ryan was heard saying, before Scott’s twin Adam, 36, buried his head in his hands and added: “She’ll choose Scott.”
The camera panned to Scott, 36, who turned to India Reynolds, 34, and whispered, “She slid into my DMs a couple of times.”
The Thomas family erupted in screams at the revelation, with Emmerdale star Adam jumping from his seat in shock.

“Oh my God, Scott, what’s going on? Don’t do it to us,” Ryan said, before his mother could be heard adding, “We won’t know until tomorrow, you know.”
“I’m dying,” Ryan said, before Adam responded, “Call Scott right now and find out what happened.”
Sharing the clip on his Instagram, Ryan captioned it: ‘She slid into his DMs… You can’t end up like this!!! Are you going to choose Scott?

Speaking ahead of her return, the brunette beauty said: ‘I want to come back to Love Island again because it’s where my journey started and it has a special place in my heart.
‘It is a place where I have laughed, cried and learned a lot. The fact that there is an opportunity to do it again, why not?

She insisted: “True love and connection begins with the journey, friendship and getting to know each other first.”
The Celebrity Big Brother star said she is “excited” about All Stars because it is “so different, so different to how we were before, we were all strangers”.
