EXCLUSIVE
Love Island: All Stars' India Reynolds speaks on Scott Thomas being absent from the final and reveals how she feels about their fling

India Reynolds has opened up on her villa fling with Scott Thomas and has spoken on him being absent from the Love Island: All Stars final.

The influencer, 34, was the first islander to be dumped after Tina Stinnes, 30, chose to couple up with her series two co-star Scott, 36.

Since leaving the ITV2 show, India hasn’t been in contact with Scott and has now downloaded dating app Hinge, admitting she is ready to find the one.

Despite all of the Love Island: All Stars cast returning to South Africa for the final, Scott decided to give it a miss, ruining his and India’s chance to clear the air.

Speaking exclusively to MailOnline, India said: ‘We haven’t actually spoke since, and obviously he didn’t come back for the final. I was expecting to see him, but he wasn’t there. I don’t know why he didn’t come back. 

‘I guess that’s up to him, isn’t it. I haven’t spoken to him, so I can’t really comment on it to be honest.’

She added: ‘I was so excited that we got coupled up. I was open to trying things and getting to know people, and then we got coupled up and I thought that’s actually a really good match from the public. So I was excited to see where it went, but obviously it didn’t go far.’

On rekindling things with Scott, she said: ‘I think that’s friendly. I think that ship has sailed for sure.’

India and Scott’s potential romance ground to a halt after a brutal game of Truth or Dare.

After India declared him the ‘most calculated in the villa’, shortly after he saw his head turn towards bombshell Tina, Scott didn’t look too happy.

It prompted him to declare: ‘That’s just given me the ick mate. Big.’

The following night, Tina was told she had to steal one boy and after picking Scott, India was dumped from the island. Scott and Tina later decided to go their separate ways, and he dramatically quit the show.

Despite not finding love, India admits the show has helped her confidence when it comes to dating.

She explained: ‘It would have been nice to meet someone in there. When I went in I was so open to meeting someone and I was a little bit sad that I didn’t get that opportunity.

‘I feel like going in there has actually given me a bit more confidence because I was so bad at dating before and I hadn’t put any effort into it at all for a couple of years, and spending time with the boys and chatting to them, I’m like, “hey, they’re not that scary!”

‘Also, you don’t drink in there, so a lot of the awkward chats you have to have are sober. So it’s given me a bit of confidence and actually showing me that I do really want something. I’m trying my hardest. I’m back on hinge!’

India – who appeared on the fifth series of ‘Love Island’ back in 2019 – admitted that she felt some relief to be leaving the villa. 

She explained: ‘I was gutted to leave so early because I was having such a good time, but him and Tina were getting on really well, like, kissing, cuddling, so I don’t know whether that would have been really hard if I was in there still to watch.

‘So when I saw that, I thought maybe it’s a good thing I’m out, but it would have been really nice to meet someone and continue my experience.’

India rose to fame after appearing on season five of Love Island in 2019 alongside memorable stars like Amber Gill, Molly-Mae Hague, Tommy Fury and Maura Higgins.

She finished in third place with fan-favourite Ovie Soko, but the pair broke up in October 2019 after a few months of dating.

Comparing the experiences, she said: ‘I found more what I was looking for last time, but in terms of the experience, I definitely preferred it this time. I think being a bit older, you have more confident and it was a really nice group of people.’

Gabby Allen and Casey O’Gorman were crowned the winners of Love Island: All Stars as they beat four couples in a drama-filled finale.

The pair secured victory in the villa and the £50,000 top prize by beating Luca Bish and Grace Jackson who finished runners-up.

Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Curtis Pritchard finished third place, Catherine Agbaje and Omar Nyame placed fourth, leaving Elma Pazar and Sammy Root in fifth.

Since India’s first appearance on Love Island, India has become an ambᴀssador for lingerie retailer Pour Moi and has brought out several collections with the brand.

Speaking about her collaboration, she said: ‘The main aim is always to make something for everybody and to make everyone feel included, and to make everyone feel gorgeous.

‘When I was young, I definitely struggled to find bras, so that’s something I focus on, and also it shouldn’t be that the really Sєxy things only come in certain cup sizes.’

‘I had bad experiences and not as much body confidence when I was much younger and modeling. I feel like the expectation of a certain body type was much more prevalent then, whereas now, especially with brands like Pour Moi they’ve always made me feel good.

‘As women, I think our body shapes change quite a lot, but whether I put on weight or lose weight, they’re always absolutely fine with it.’
