Overview
- Arriving late on the January 15 Love Island All Stars launch, Scott Van Der Sluis immediately confronted Sean Stone after the couples were set by public vote.
- Scott told Sean, "You were one of the worst Islanders I've ever seen," and remarked he was "only seeing one all star" in Sean's pairing with Belle Hassan.
- He escalated the exchange by making a crude jab about Sean's past friendship with Joey Essex, a moment that visibly shocked those present.
- Sean responded on camera, "How many finals did you make? I've never even spoken to you," questioning Scott's critique.
- Social media reaction skewed negative, though some praised Scott's return, and his pre-entry comments about not holding back and "stamping my authority" framed his fourth Love Island appearance.
