Love Island fans love the sizzling chemistry between Catherine and Scott as they fail to quell romantic rumors as her ex Elom awkwardly sits next to them on the reunion show

Love Island’s Catherine Agbaje and Scott van-der-Sluis refused to deny a romance between the couple on Sunday night’s reunion show.

Catherine and Scott were a solid couple before this year’s Casa Amor, but she bounced back from her time without Scott with bombshell Elom Ahlijah-Wilson, forcing Scott to hold back tears and their union in tatters.

However, after Catherine and Elom decided to part ways and remain friends shortly after returning to the UK after dumping their villa last month, Scott and Catherine are said to have slipped into each other’s DMs.

The pair were questioned by Made In Chelsea star Sam Thompson about the status of their relationship during Love Island: The Reunion this weekend, while Elom sat uncomfortably next to them.

Scott said, “We’re fine with it. We were friends before Catherine left the villa.’

However, he refused to give much more away and tried to hide his smile when Sam asked him for more information.

The moment delighted fans, with many taking to Twitter to express their joy at a potential reunion between Catherine and Scott.

One person wrote, “Oh, Catherine and Scott DEFINITELY have something going on!”

Another shared: ‘THE LOOK???? THE SILENCE????? THE TENSION???? “WANT TO START” CATHERINE & SCOTT KILL ME.”

Someone else insisted, “Catherine & Scott should just kiss man.”

While another viewer wrote, “Did you guys see the chemistry between Catherine and Scott?” Wheeww chilli.’

“Catherine & Scott could have gone to the final together,” someone else commented, with another viewer posting, “We’ve been robbed of an easy Catherine & Scott win.”

Someone else posted: ‘Awwwwww Catherine & Scott are so cute!!!!!! I really hope they get back together!’

While another viewer wrote, “Not Catherine & Scott rekindling their bond right next to Elom.”

It comes after Catherine said she and Scott both wish Casa Amor “never happened.”

During a TikTok live with fellow Love Island star Montel McKenzie, she said, “I think Scott and I both wish Casa (Amor) never happened.

“It was actually a difficult time. As easy as it seemed, it wasn’t. Even when they spoke to other islanders today, they literally said Casa Amor was the hardest thing.”

She insisted they would have been the couple to beat if they had all just stayed in the same villa for the series.

Catherine said, “I wish we just had our villa lives. It just felt like we were the couple that broke down. I don’t know if you understand me. Don’t make me talk too much. Catch me at the reunion.”

Look who it is! Scott and Catherine made an improbable move across the pond when they made a cameo on a New York City billboard

Hilarious: In a Streetcam clip posted to Twitter, an eagle-eyed fan saw a romantic montage of the pair making a 15-second cameo on a billboard at 1568 Broadway

It comes after Catherine and Scott made a surprise appearance on a billboard in the middle of New York’s Times Square on Wednesday.

In a Streetcam clip posted to Twitter, an eagle-eyed fan saw a romantic montage of the pair making a 15-second cameo on a billboard at 1568 Broadway.

The video caused a frenzy among many fans as they praised the fact that Scott and Catherine had risen to worldwide fame, even though neither of them made it to the finals.

The TSX Broadway screen is available for fans to rent for a small fee, with users submitting a 15-second video through an app in hopes of appearing.

The fan posted a video of the beloved edit and tweeted, “SOMEONE PAID TO HAVE A SCOTT AND CATHERINE EDIT IN TIMES SQUARE NYC IM SCREAMING!!”

Catherine and Elom went their separate ways just days after leaving the villa, and insiders claimed it was “over before it really started.”

Fan favourites: Their romance sparked during Casa Amor, with Catherine opting to re-couple rather than stay with Scott van-der-Sluis

It is the latest shocking twist to happen to the couple after they were suddenly evicted two weeks ago following an extremely abrupt and unexpected dumping.

A source told The sun: “The pair struggled to make it work in the real world and barely saw each other since the show ended.

“They kind of pretended, doing the podcast circuit, but everyone knew it was over before it really started.

“Catherine’s sister made no secret of her feelings for Elom, so it’s no surprise she calmed things down right away.”
