Love Island fans stunned over bombshell Scott's real age after confession to Jess

Love Island viewers were in shock on Thursday, as new bombshell Scott joined the show.

The footballer went on a date with original Islander Jess, after she won the challenge earlier in the day.

As the pair got to know each other Jess revealed she was 22 years old, and asked him what his age was.

It's then that he left her gobsmacked, as he revealed he too was 22 years old and she screamed: "Shut up! You look so much older."

But Jess wasn't the only one in shock, as viewers tuning in were also baffled by the admission and were not exactly believing him.

While there is no reason to believe Scott is lying about his age and he is actually 22, several viewers suggested the contestant looked a lot older than this.

Taking to Twitter, one viewer commented: "Idk if it’s me but these 22 years olds look so old."

Another fan said: "22? What kind of water are these islanders drinking? Theyre ageing way before their time."

A third viewer commented: "another 30 year old posing as 22 hm," as a fourth agreed: "This man looks about 35, 22 where."

The comments kept coming too with another tweet reading: "22??? Are these people SURE?"

It comes as the show aired the second dumping of the series on Wednesday night, and viewers were not impressed as a popular contestant was voted off the show.

It was Ruchee who 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.

As Ruchee and Ella headed to the sundeck, their fellow Islanders deliberated amid Ella's ongoing connection with Tyrique.

It was this connection that gave Ella an advantage as Ruchee had no connection in the villa, and the Islanders believed Ella and Tyrique could still work.

This didn't make it any easier for some of the girls though, with Catherine saying: “This is very difficult, it’s obviously not nice seeing two of your friends standing up there.”

Jess added: “They both have amazing personalities and it’s just unfortunate that it’s come to this.”

Mitchel then said: “I get on with both of them, they’re both my mates and I adore Ruchee, she’s just had a bit of bad luck…”

As the group called the girls back to the fire pit, it was Mehdi who stood up to reveal the result and who was being dumped.

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.
