Love Island's 2016 contestant Scott Thomas has hit back at rumours that he's rekindled his romance with former Islander and ex-girlfriend Kady McDermott, after fans speculated that the two might be enjoying an intimate tropical holiday together.
Eagle-eyed fans of the smash-hit ITV2 dating series fell under the assumption earlier this week that the former flames – who first went exclusive as a couple six years earlier before going separate ways back in 2017 – might have gotten back together, as they each posted photos of their luxury winter vacations before similar-looking beach backgrounds.
It seems as though our hopes of a Love Island reunion have been dashed however, as a source close to Manchester PR firm owner Scott, 33, has denied the rumours that he might be reconnecting with Kady.
They told OK!: "Scott is on holiday in Tulum, while Kady is in the Maldives. So, this is not the case."
The pair split after just over one year together following an explosive row at the home they shared together in Manchester.
Kady then went on to date TOWIE star Myles Barnett, however after purchasing and beginning to renovate a mansion together, their on-and-off relationship came to an end in May last year.
The rumours of her reunion with ex Scott, who has recently undergone a 2.5st weight loss transformation, were sparked when the former makeup artist, 26, began posting sharing pics and videos from her sun-soaked trip across her various social media pages, teasing that she may be in the company of a mystery man.
Earlier this week, she shared a TikTok of a lovey-dovey date night on a beach, wearing a stunning black cut out dress with a figure-hugging skirt and standing before a rich display of roses and candles scattered across the sand. She sadly chose not to disclose the identity of her companion, however.
Kady's online followers were quick to speculate that her secret holiday buddy may in fact be ex-boyfriend Scott. One questioned on the video, "You back with Scott?", whilst another added, "Please tell me you're back with Scott."
"Definitely with Scott," a third fan wrote.
Though we know that her mystery boyfriend may not be Scott, being 17,000 km apart, Kady has continued to keep fans guessing who she might be away with.
She took to Instagram last night to share a video of her stunning Maldives hotel suite, with flower petals spread across the double bed in a heart shape and an adorable teddy bear gift on her pillow.

She first teased a new romance in February, after a video on TikTok showing off her Valentine's Day celebrations, which included a stay at a luxury spa and several generous gifts.
Despite taking away our dreams of a Love Island reunion, it may well be that Scott is in fact enjoying his picturesque holiday alongside 2019 runner-up Molly-Mae Hague, who is also spending some time away on a luxurious sun filled vacation in the same region of Mexico.
Since splitting up with Kady, Scott seems to have lived a happily single life, not having gone public with any potentially serious partners since their split.
He told OK! last May, "I feel like last year I was mainly working on myself and getting to a position where I really felt comfortable with myself.
“I am now much more open to the prospect of having a girlfriend, but I’m not rushing anything, I know that when you feel good, you attract good things, and that is where I’m at."
