During the January 26, 2025 episode of Love Island All Stars, Luca Bish made an assertive comment when tensions flared between him and fellow islander Scott Thomas during the Viva Las Vegas party. In a moment of escalating tension, Luca remarked,
"If you want to go there, go there. Don't say go there like you got something. Just say it. I don't give a f**k about being respectful. Say what you got to say and that's it."
This statement came after Scott appeared to hold back on voicing his true feelings, sparking a heated confrontation between the two.
Tensions erupt between Luca Bish and Scott Thomas during the Love Island All Stars Viva Las Vegas party
The origins of the tension
Earlier in the Love Island All Stars episode, Scott revealed to Luca, Ronnie, and Casey that he was feeling conflicted about his partner, Tina. He admitted to the group that something about his connection with Tina was troubling him. Scott said,
"Something's stressing me out a little bit...When she's in the garden I'm not wanting to rush over. This girl is so good for me and the fact I'm not buzzing pisses me off."
He expressed frustration over not feeling as excited as he believed he should be. Luca, in response, reassured Scott, telling him,
"You can’t help how you feel, definitely keep that to yourself though."
The group agreed to keep Scott’s feelings private, and Scott suggested they make a pact to not share his concerns with their partners, stating that if his feelings were to get back to Tina, they would need to come from him.
Despite this agreement, the situation took a turn when a truth-and-dare-style game unfolded during the Vegas Night party. Scott remarked on his feelings for Grace Jackson, who was coupled with Luca at the time.
"Bro, I’m being respectful to you," Scott said.
This prompted Luca’s sharp reply, urging Scott to speak his mind if he wanted to, which led to further escalation as the game continued.
The confrontation escalates
The tension heightened when Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, part of the Love Island All Stars cast, joined the interaction and dared Luca to kiss someone’s cheek—"someone that is in here for fame." Luca then chose Scott and explained his reasoning behind the decision, saying,
"I think when he was coming in, I think he got to know a few people before the Island and I think he wants to get far in here."
Luca also commented,
"And that’s why you’re with Tina, and you’re not feeling it."
The other contestants intervened, holding Scott back to prevent further escalation. The outburst left the other Islanders visibly shaken, with some of the girls expressing concern over the intensity of the confrontation. One of the girls exclaimed that they were "friends", urging the pair to calm down.
After being separated, the game resumed, but the tensions remained high. The altercation marked a turning point for Scott and Tina’s relationship within the villa, with Tina visibly upset and questioning her connection with Scott.
The aftermath and Tina’s departure
The emotional fallout from the argument was significant. Scott’s frustration with Luca’s statements led to Tina deciding to leave the game. In a final exchange with Luca, Scott stated,
"There’s no coming back from that. What have you just done?"
His comment reflected the seriousness of the situation, as Tina’s departure further intensified the atmosphere in the Love Island All Stars villa.
