The footballer has appeared in Love Island three times already; Love Island UK, Love Island USA and Love Island Games.
Yet fan are still stunned to hear just how young he is.
Scott revealed his age while chatting to former Love Island star Whitney Adebayo and her sister Lizzie on their podcast, So What’s It Giving?.
Lizzie said: “You just celebrated your birthday. You’re a new age. How old did you turn?”
Scott, who starred on the 2023 series of Love Island UK, replied: “I’m now 24. I feel old.
“I’m now mid-20s. Twenty to 23 is your early 20s, and then 24, 25, 26 is mid-20s.
“So I’m now in my mid-20s and I need to get my s*** together.”
The Welsh goalkeeper then asked: “Is it a compliment to call a guy older? You need to call a woman younger. Do guys even want…. I don’t care!”
A clip of Scott discussing his age has now been shared on the podcast’s official Instagram and YouTube pages and fans are stunned.
One commented: “Scott looks about 27… and did when he came into the villa. What people consider ‘old’ is crazy to me.”
Another, who calls herself Hot Mommaaaa, added: “Scott look older than me lol.”
And someone else wrote: “Darn he looks older than 24 & I feel pervy for thinking he looks great!”
Scott recently confirmed that he pulled out of the current run of All Stars with just two days to go.
He told Whitney and Lizzie about why he changed his mind at the last minute.
Scott said: “I just didn’t feel like it was the right time, you know when you know.”
He continued: “Did I feel like it was the right time to walk in that Villa? Personally, no.”
