‘He’s come too far to play games…he could have faked it all the way if he wanted too but that’s not what my bro is about! 

‘He TRIED to make it work but at the end of the day it’s been 11 days you can’t force something that isn’t there. 

‘Although Tina is a beautiful girl and seems lovely, Scott’s 36 he doesn’t want to half ᴀss it and he’s genuinely looking for love and connection! 

‘He chose to do the right thing and do what was best for him and Tina … no mistakes were made just lessons learnt!

‘Another chapter another experience made and many more to come!! Nothing but proud of the way he carried himself through out!

‘Am so so proud of him the whole family are!! Thank you again for all your support and love through out x can’t wait to get him back to the family now and get back to business.’

Waterloo alum Adam sang his twin’s praises without hesitation 

On Sunday’s explosive instalment of Love Island, Scott packed his bags and left the ITV show after deciding it ‘wasn’t for him’ and struggling to find a genuine connection with Tina and axed islander India Reynolds.

Pulling Luca Bish over to the fire pit first he said: ‘I just wanted to let you know first. I can’t force connections and I feel like I’ve come here and done everything I wanted to do. I just have to be true to myself.’

Telling the rest of the islanders, he said: ‘I don’t want this to be sad guys because I’ve had the best time ever but I’ve made the decision to leave.

‘I’ve had the best time ever. Every single one of you is amazing.’ 

The hunk, who first appeared on series two, was in a couple with Tina, 29, but after recently having doubts, Scott called time on the relationship.

Elma locked horns with Scott after he called things off with Tina, admitting he should ‘leave the villa’ and ‘go’ because ‘nothing was here for him’.

Earlier in the week, Elma and Luca Bish were given the tough decision to save Tina for Scott meaning Kaz Crossley, Naz Majeed and Montel Mckenzie were sent packing. 

In recent episodes, fans have watched Scott become confused about his relationship with Tina, as he struggled to grasp whether she was ‘the one’ or not.

A recent outburst saw him lock horns with Luca Bish, 25, after the fishmonger explosively told the whole villa that he was questioning his coupling with the blonde beauty.

It comes after Luca tried to make things right between himself and pal Scott during Tuesday’s episode as he saved Tina from a shock dumping.

The former fishmonger was left in tears following a heated argument with Scott during a fiery game of Truth Or Dare on Vegas night.

Luca turned on his fellow castmate when the duo had a tense conversation about bombshell Tina, sparking an explosive row.

cott made a cryptic comment about Luca’s couple Grace Jackson, 26, which led to tempers soaring as Luca clapped back with his own snide remark. 

During the game, Scott said he had a truth he wanted to ask Grace but said he ‘didn’t want to say’ it aloud.

Luca snapped before he revealed to the group minutes later that Scott was ‘not feeling it now’ with Tina.

This immediately caused Tina to cry before walking off upset and found a haven in the girls’ dressing room.

He said: ‘I don’t want this to be sad guys because I’ve had the best time ever but I’ve made the decision to leave. ‘I’ve had the best time ever. Every single one of you is amazing’

But it went from bad to worst for the couple after Scott attempted to provide Tina with some clarity.

Pulling her for a chat on the bean bags Scott said: ‘By the way, what he’s just said has been completely, like….’

Tina replied: ‘Well, I’ve just got told you wanted to tell me this today.’

Scott added: ‘I said to the boys tonight, basically, I love spending time with you, we vibe, but I wanted to say to you tonight that I’m worried I’m not fully in the same place you’re at.’

Wiping the tears from her eyes, Tina quipped: ‘Cool’, before Scott insisted ‘that’s all it was going to be.’

But Tina made her emotions known and added: ‘I’m p***ed off! Like I’m just annoyed. I need to process all this s***.

‘And now I’m going to withdraw. I’m going to withdraw myself.’

Tina then stood up and walked away from Scott leaving him to think about his actions while sitting on his beanbag alone.

However, after airing their feelings, Scott and Tina made up and seemed to be on moving forward from the situation, with Scott explaining he still wanted to get to know her.
