Love Island star Scott van-der-Sluis has refused to hold back after finding himself embroiled in a heated exchange with a racist social media user on X.

The reality TV favourite, who found love with Leanne Amaning on Love Island: All Stars earlier this year, delivered a series of savage responses after being targeted online.

In one post, Scott fired back: “Mate I did win, I’m happier than you’ll ever be, or you talking about that 25k, 25k I’ll slap on your bald head before I put you back in your dads ballsack you racist little c***.”

However, the exchange quickly escalated when the X user responded with a string of racist and antisemitic remarks, making inflammatory claims about immigration and declaring that “racism is needed now.”

Clearly unimpressed, Scott delivered another blistering response, rejecting the suggestion that the actions of individuals should be used to condemn an entire racial group.

“If aliens came down to earth and you were the representative of white people we’d all be f***ed. A few scumbags don’t represent an entire race,” he wrote.

“Luckily everyone isn’t as much of a racist little bellend like you.”

The former footballer continued his takedown, adding: “Stopping another boat won’t stop you living in a shoe box begging only fans girls to send you a picture of their t*** every night, now f*** off back to your hole backwards little bastard.”

The TSB Residents were quick to praise Scott for his sharp tongue, with one writing, "‍Everyone should know this by now, you can’t troll Scott and win. His words are like bullets, you’ll surely get injured. Scott always have the right words for anyone that wants to talk bad about him." Another added, "We need more Scott’s." With a third chiming in with, "I love how Scott be protecting his queen at all costs."

Scott first rose to fame during the tenth series of Love Island in 2023, before appearing on the American version of the dating show and Love Island Games. He returned to the franchise for a fourth time earlier this year on Love Island: All Stars, where he struck up a romance with Leanne Amaning.

Despite facing several challenges throughout their time in the villa, the pair finished in third place and continued their relationship outside the show.

In April, Scott officially asked Leanne to be his girlfriend during a romantic trip to Iceland, with the couple later dismissing split rumours after fans questioned why they had not been appearing together as frequently on social media.

Known for speaking his mind and refusing to shy away from confrontation, Scott has once again demonstrated that he is not afraid to call out behaviour he disagrees with.
