We'll say this about Love Island: All Stars, those celeb couples know how to keep us on our toes. Who would've ever thought Casey O'Gorman would be uttering the words 'closed off' on telly (well done, Gabby Allen)? Who would've ever thought Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Curtis Pritchard would get back together after that Danielle-Sellers-shaped hurdle and go on to drop the L-bomb (okay, via carefully placed fruit, but still)? And who would've ever thought that Ronnie Vint would shake his 'Turbo' title by becoming a A-star boyfriend? Wild.
And the surprises have kept on coming outside the villa, too. Recently dumped bombshell Tina Stinnes – who was dumped at the hands of a public vote alongside Chuggs Wallis on Monday 10 February – has opened up on her future with her former villa bae Scott Thomas.
And, sorry, but what future?
A few weeks ago, Tina strolled into the All Stars villa and made a beeline for her series 2 cast mate, Scott. He ended up having his head turned (leaving India Reynolds single and dumped) and pursued a connection with Tina. Fine. But despite some mild flirting, teas on tap and some head massages, the relationship remained fairly lukewarm and lacked a spark in Scott's eyes; so much so that he left the villa because of it, leaving Tina devastated.
Now we're certainly no experts at romance (as we approach our 35th Valentine's Day alone), but does that not sound like the end of a love story? If a guy literally walked off Love Island because they didn't feel anything, we'd perhaps close the book on that one.
And definitely another that wasn't titled 'Chuggs'.
And yet, it seems that Tina is not done with Scott; in fact, she's looking ahead, telling Love Island producers that she'd love to see him when she's home (she's currently in a holding villa), but will leave it to him to arrange the date.
She revealed, 'I’d love to meet Scott when I’m home. I said I would date him before but I think that's down to him now. I’m so grateful for the connection that I had with him and he was a huge part of my journey.'
Speaking of her villa romance with Scott she continued, 'It was a whirlwind, a whole experience for me with a lot of emotions. I was devastated [when he left]. Even if we weren't going to continue as a couple, even to just have that person that you’ve spent so much time with not being there, it was hard, but I completely understood his decision and respected it 100%.'
When asked if she wished Scott had done anything differently, she added, 'I mean "shoulda woulda coulda". But everyone's going through their own things in their own head and you can’t fault someone for what they’re going through and staying true to themselves ultimately.'
Watch this space and all that.
Love Island: All Stars continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX
