Ryan Thomas shares hilarious reaction to brother Scott’s claim Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu slid into his DMs as he gives his verdict on possible Love Island: All Stars coupling

with-font”>Ryan Thomas gave his verdict on a potential coupling 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 his wife Lucy Mecklenburgh, 33, brother Adam and the rest of the Thomas family.

But it was the end of the episode that really caught their attention, as Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, 30, made her entrance as the first bombshell of the season – and was given the power to steal one of the boys. 

‘Don’t take Scott, don’t do it,’ Ryan could be heard saying, before Scott’s twin Adam, 36, buried his head in his hands and added: ‘She’s gonna pick Scott’. 

The camera panned to Scott, 36, who turned to India Reynolds, 34, and whispered: ‘She slid into my DMs a few times.’

The Thomas family household erupted into screams at the revelation, with Emmerdale star Adam jumping out of his seat in shock.

The episode then cut to end credits without revealing the three boys Ekin-Su chose for a date in the garden. 

‘Oh my god Scott what’s going on, don’t do it to us’ Ryan said, before his mum could be heard in the background adding: ‘We’re not going to know until tomorrow you know.’

‘I’m dying,’ Ryan said, before Adam replied: ‘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 it on that!!! Is she going to pick Scott?’

The public were given the power to pair up the singletons on Monday’s launch show and wickedly opted to reunited exes Marcel Somerville, 39, and Gabby Allen, 32, six years after their relationship ended shortly after their stint in the 2017 series when the Blazing Squad star cheated.

Meanwhile Scott and India were also coupled up by the public vote, and said that despite being long time friends they were open to seeing if romance blossomed. 

Host Maya Jama then unveiled the show’s first bombshell in the form of Ekin-Su.

It was revealed the stunner would be allowed to steal one of the hunks, before the show ended on a cliffhanger.

During her introduction Ekin-Su revealed why she’s returned to the villa, while making a thinly-veiled dig at ex Davide Sanclimenti.

The former winner, 30, who scooped the £50,000 cash prize with ex Davide in June 2022, made her return at the end of the highly-anticipated launch show as she once again entered as a bombshell.

Speaking ahead of her comeback, the brunette beauty said: ‘I want to return to Love Island again because it’s where my journey started and has a special place in my heart. 

‘It’s somewhere I’ve laughed, cried and learnt so much. The fact that there’s an opportunity to do it again – why not! 

‘Why can’t a winner go back in and re-write her story and have a second chance?! I think you should follow your gut and my gut is telling me to go back, so I’m listening to it.’ 

When quizzed on what she’s looking for this time around, Ekin-Su revealed she wants ‘someone who isn’t overly self-obsessed and someone that’s aware of flaws because we all have them.’

In what could be a swipe at Davide, she added: ‘I’d like a man that will love me when I’m in the worst mood possible but still understands why and has no judgments. 

‘I’d like someone supportive, I don’t care about looks and money – I want someone to be my biggest cheerleader.’

When it comes to red flags, the biggest one for Ekin-Su is ‘someone selling the dream at the start, being perfect – because that’s not real.’

She insisted: ‘Real love and connection starts with the journey, a friendship and getting to know one another first.’

The Celebrity Big Brother star said she’s ‘excited’ for All Stars because it’s ‘so different it’s so different to how we were before, we were all unknown.’
