Scott Thomas pleads ‘don’t give Elma a hard time’ as he returns to the UK after quitting Love Island All Stars

SCOTT Thomas has pleaded ‘don’t give Elma a hard time’ after touching down back in the United Kingdom.

Arriving back in the UK after flying back from South Africa after departing the Love Island: All Stars villa, Scott has broken his silence and made a desperate plea.

Taking to Instagram to share a video of him breaking his silence on his Love Island exit, Scott also wrote an accompanying caption.

“Not quite the fairytale ending that I wished for but grateful for the whole experience and all the lessons learned in the @loveisland villa,” he penned in the caption.

Scott added: “I didn’t always get things quite right in there but I’m still very much learning as I go.

“But most of all I’m beyond grateful for all the love and support from every single one of you.

“It genuinely means more than you will ever know.”

Meanwhile, in the video he said: “I’ve just touched down, back at home,” before adding how he had been reunited with his dog.

Scott expressed gratitude for all of the messages he has received from fans over the last few days, before saying he didn’t get the ending he wanted, but he “wouldn’t change it [his Love Island experience] for the world”.

Speaking about his connection with Tina Stinnes, who he was coupled up with, he said they had an “amazing” bond, but “it wasn’t meant to be”.

“I’m so proud of myself, because I stayed true to myself,” Scott went on to add.

He then said: “Please don’t give Elma a hard time. She had no part to play in me leaving.

“I did that because it was a decision that I made for me.”

Scott added: “So, please, back Elma, back everybody in there. Back Luca. I wish them all well.”

Speaking to Maya Jama in his exit interview, Scott spoke about the connections he explored in the villa before he decided to depart.

He told the Love Island host: “I found two connections which I feel is like winning the lottery in there, I felt like if I had to start again with a new connection I’d be loosing myself and I wouldn’t be true to myself.”
