Scott Thomas gets stuck into Love Island life with the show’s first kiss
The Mancunian entrepreneur - brother to soap stars Jason and Adam - locked lips with Miss Great Britain Zara Holland
SCOTT Thomas started his Love Island adventure with a cheeky smooch as his soap star brother Adam revealed the racy scenes were "hard to watch."
The sexy sibling to both Emmerdale hunk Adam and Ryan - who stars as Corrie's Jason Grimshaw - was warned by the pair to behave while on the sun-soaked reality show.
Yet it didn't take him long to set his sights on Miss Great Britain Zara Holland and request a sneaky snog.
Viewers saw the Mancunian entrepreneur get close with the blonde as they snuggled around the toasty fire pit with their co-stars.
Brazen Scott then went in for the kill and said: “Do you mind if I kiss you?”
Zara replied: "OK," before the pair locked lips on their first night.
Earlier he had told his housemates: “I’m going to throw this out there now and I mean this genuinely but I want to be the first person to kiss on Love Island.”
Immediately after the ITV2 show took to air, Adam took to Twitter to show his red-faced support.
He wrote: "Well that was hard to watch," followed by two laughing Monkey Emojis and added: "So far so good bro," with a fist punch icon.
Adam wasn't the only celeb to give Scott his backing.
Ryan's fellow Corrie co-star Brooke Vincent, who plays Sophie Webster in the ITV show, wrote: "Here he is!!! Our one and only @scottyspecial come on my brother!!!" while Page Three babe Rhian Sugden added: "Yessss @scottyspecial pleased for you!!"
Earlier in the week, Scott revealed his brothers had pleaded with him not to embarrass them on the show.
Scott, 27, said: "My brothers are like my best mates.
"Obviously they were a little bit cautious. They want to be taken seriously as actors, especially now my brother is leaving."
He added to Digital Spy: "The one thing he said is be careful when you have a drink because obviously that's when I let myself down sometimes."
