Welsh footballer Scott Van Der Sluis will head into the 'Love Island' villa as the latest bombshell on Thursday night (15.06.23).
Footballer Scott Van Der Sluis is latest Love Island bombshell
The 22-year-old star, who is a goalkeeper for League of Ireland Premier Division side Shelbourne, has vowed to bring plenty of "energy" and "banter" to the villa, and he is on the lookout for a woman who has a "strong personality".
When asked what he will bring to the show, he said: "Energy. I’ll bring a bit of banter, be cheeky, and I’m a flirt.
"Very, very strong personality so if I see anything I don’t agree with, there’ll definitely be fireworks."
Quizzed on what he looks for in a partner, he said: "A girl with a strong personality, who’s independent and knows what they want."
Scott - who previously played for Swansea City and was on the books at Manchester United and Liverpool as a youngster - is no stranger to the limelight, having trained with the Welsh national team when he was just 16.
When asked his claim to fame, he said: "I was the youngest goalkeeper to ever play with the Welsh national team!
"I also got a call when I was 16 and playing at Swansea from the Welsh goalkeeper coach inviting me to train with the first team.
"I got to sit and have dinner with Aaron Ramsey and the Welsh football team!
"I was in awe, when the year before they got to the Euro finals, they were my idols."
But the 'Love Island' ladies shouldn't expect him to fall in love quickly.
He said: "I’m a slow burner. It’s only when I really think I’m losing them sometimes that I do."
'Love Island' continues tonight at 9pm on Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Player, proudly sponsored by Virgin Media Mobile.
The reality show can also be seen on ITV2.
