Sorry, but why is no one discussing the fact that Love Island 2023/Love Island USA/Love Island Games star Scott van-der-Sluis has broken a Love Island record this summer?

Whenever the fandom think of Love Island comebacks, they of course think of Love Island 2018's Adam Collard; after all, he was the first ever Islander to make a SPECTACULAR villa return in 2022 (followed Kady McDermott followed suit this summer).

But let's do the Love Island maths – the only kind of maths we can do, btw.

Footballer turned 2023 bombshell Scott van-der-Sluis has not only been on Love Island 2023, but he's been on both Love Island USA AND Love Island Games (which recently wrapped in Fiji). That's more Love Island appearances than any other Islander EVER. Record.

This also means that Scott has starred on three series of Love Island in the same year. Record.

Here’s everything you need to know about this record-breaking Islander…

Who was Scott van-der-Sluis coupled up with in the Love Island villa?

Scott entered the villa on day 11 and coupled up with Catherine three days later. They stayed together until Casa Amor, when she coupled up with Elom and left Scott single.

After Casa, he coupled up with Amber and then Abi, but failed to find a love connection with either of them and was dumped alongside Abi on day 52.

What happened with Scott van-der-Sluis and Catherine Agbaje?

Scott and Catherine were coupled up for two weeks before Casa Amor and although they'd had a few bumps in the road (mainly Tyrique Hyde and Sammy Root not believing that Scott truly liked Catherine), things were going well on the whole.

But we all know that Casa Amor makes the Islanders move mad and Catherine had her head turned by bombshell Elom. Of course, Scott wasn't happy when Catherine returned arm in arm with Elom and declared, "F--k it, the game's the game."

What happened with Scott van-der-Sluis and Abi Moores?

Abi entered the villa as a Casa Amor bombshell and coupled sparked a connection with Mitch Taylor. Although it seemed like Mitch had finally found The One, Abi admitted Scott had caught her eye and she wanted to explore things with him.

Abi eventually revealed that she would rather be coupled up with Mitch, but he'd already had his head turned by Ella Barnes by then.

Scott and Abi then coupled up on day 42, but decided just to be friends despite their best efforts to make a relationship work.

Are Scott van-der-Sluis and Catherine Agbaje back together?

After returning to the outside world, Scott and Catherine sparked rumours they could get back together after they were spotted looking cosy at the reunion. Fellow Islander Ruchee Gurung caught them hugging on camera and they also reportedly left the wrap party in the same taxi.

Unfortunately Scott appearing on Love Island USA threw a spanner in the works, but he has been spotted hanging out with Catherine since then.

When was Scott van-der-Sluis on Love Island USA?

During Love Island USA series five, producers switched things up and sent Scott in as a bombshell in day 25.

He coupled up with Johnnie Garcia and things seemed great until they were dumped from the villa, just days before the final.

Are Scott van-der-Sluis and Johnnie Garcia still together?

After they were dumped from the villa, Scott and Johnnie hinted that they'd continue their romance.

Although, Scott lives in the UK and Jonnie lives in America and they haven't posted each other on socials, so your guess is as good as ours.
