00:00 Scottie sure is loading. I'm not going to lie and say I haven't seen some of the things
00:03 that have been said on some of the podcasts this week. Listen, there was plenty of people
00:06 who played the game better than me. If my name makes views, then listen, you do it.
00:10 You do it girls. You do it. You come to me. Scottie's just a load.
00:13 Hi guys, it's Jodie here from ODE. Now Love Island is over for another year. I can't quite
00:18 believe it. It's just flown in. But that doesn't mean that our interviews are over because
00:23 I have pulled Scott for a chat who joins me now. How you doing?
00:27 I'm not. I'm not wrong. A little bit, a little bit hungover live screening last night. Yeah.
00:33 I've been back in the country less than 24 hours, but here we are. This is where it all
00:38 starts. Well, listen, good effort for getting in here because I genuinely wasn't sure. How
00:44 was the screening last night?
00:45 It was good. Obviously seeing a few of the recently dumped Islanders. Yeah, just enjoying
00:51 my time going and sort of interacting with people for the first time. Obviously when
00:55 you're in the villa, you just, that's just your house. You're just living with people.
01:00 You know the cameras are there, but you forget about it at the same time and the whole nation's
01:03 watching. So yeah, it's a, it's nice to come back and sort of people know you are and yeah,
01:09 people taking photos of me. Why, why, why do they want photos of me? I don't understand.
01:12 I can understand. But is it just felt like a bit of a dream the past 24 hours then?
01:18 It's just been a bit mad. Yes. I can't say it's a dream because I've had no sleep. I
01:23 haven't had time to dream. But yeah, it's just, it's just been a bit mad.
01:27 Well, thank you for making the effort to come in and chat to me. I know that's probably
01:30 the last thing anyone wants to do when they're hung over and sleep deprived, but I'm so glad
01:35 we've got you in because you were very popular this year.
01:38 I have seen, I have seen, I am aware of, of what people have been saying and the sort
01:43 of stuff that's been going around online. Yeah.
01:45 And you managed to get a few tweets out.
01:47 I did. I did manage to get a tweet out.
01:49 Scottisha is loading.
01:52 I'm not going to lie and say, I haven't seen some of the things that have been said on
01:56 some of the podcasts this week. I have seen them. It's been a lot. It has been a lot.
02:00 I got bored in the holding villa and I thought, you know what, why not?
02:04 It was an iconic tweet. I absolutely loved it.
02:07 I thought the more iconic one was the one I put up the day before. Nice to have your
02:09 phone back. Also nice to not get called a game player 74 times a day.
02:13 Well, that says that. So do you feel that every day in the villa, someone at some point
02:17 would just call you a game player?
02:19 A little bit, but people need to realize like, you're not just like it is. You're not just
02:25 living your life normally in there. Everyone sort of not is playing a game, but everyone
02:29 sort of needs to know what's going on. And for me, I thought I was pretty switched on
02:33 as to what was going on every week was to what the next thing happening.
02:36 And I sort of sometimes predicted stuff and I was right. So people thought, oh, he's a
02:41 game player. Oh, he's doing that. Like it didn't come at the accusations didn't come
02:44 out of nowhere. Just the reasoning behind them. They thought the game playing was me
02:47 and Catherine. It wasn't. It was just because I sort of knew what was going on. I'd watched
02:50 love Island before I knew what sort of what was going on and all that sort of stuff. But
02:55 yeah, listen, there was plenty of people who played the game better than me.
02:58 Right. Well, let's let's get in. Let's do a deep dive because Scotty Shaw needs to be
03:02 unleashed. So where do you think these kind of comments came from that you're playing
03:08 a game? Is that just because you were excited and you were talking about the elements of
03:12 being on the show like followers and whatnot? Or where could that have came from? People
03:16 would suspect you.
03:19 I think everyone in there, obviously, it's never shown, but everyone's talking about
03:22 followers like it's a conversation within the boys. Every single one of us mentioned
03:26 it. I don't know why I was singled out. And then there's the element of I probably didn't
03:31 talk about Catherine in group discussions as much as I should have. But what pissed
03:35 me off, I've never said a bad word about the girl. That's why I've been around the fire
03:38 pit. And I was like, what have I said? I've not said a bad word. You just make it like
03:43 assumptions. You're just making your opinions based off nothing based off me saying nothing.
03:48 That's that's what it was about. So yeah, it pissed me off a little bit.
03:51 So what's it been like to come out and see like all the kind of slander you've had in
03:55 podcasts because everyone's been going on and score a little bit.
03:59 Listen, I was, my name's the key word. My name seems to get views. So keep it going.
04:04 You know, hot topic seems like obviously I spoke to Katie and Newsy last night. They
04:08 said, don't take anything personally. And I said, listen, when I go on the podcast,
04:11 I'm taking anything personally. I said don't take anything personally. Because listen,
04:17 when we come to Katie, Katie knows what she's doing. Katie played the game better than anyone
04:21 in there. The comments that she made to me, to Molly and Zach, she knows what she's doing.
04:26 She's done this. She's been in this game for seven years. Every single thing where she
04:29 acts innocent about it. She's not acting innocent. She knows exactly what she's doing. Katie's
04:33 being Katie. I respect her for it. I love Katie. But don't come at me because you're
04:39 doing it better than anyone girl. Well, she, I think she said in one of the podcasts that
04:43 you'd maybe come out and it goes far as admitting that you were playing a game. No, I just sort
04:47 of. So when I said about like sort of speculating, so we always got told never to speculate.
04:53 Okay. So when I sort of speculated and got things right, sort of bragged about it a little
04:57 bit. I was like, I knew Maya was coming in yesterday and knew was doing this. So there
05:00 was a little bit of that and people have just, there was so much he said, she said that things
05:04 maybe they were thinking you're like a producer plant or something. I think people thought
05:11 of work. I can't deal with that. But you were just guessing things and getting it right.
05:19 Maybe your psychic Scott. I think it was just a little bit like I'd watched the show before.
05:23 I sort of, you get a feeling of what's going on and that's what I was doing. I almost,
05:28 I probably didn't live in the moment as much as I should have. Okay. Um, and like sort
05:33 of when you spoke to the producers and that, like they sort of said, just live in the moment
05:36 a little bit more. Um, but yeah, I never did. I sort of was always looking ahead. I was
05:40 always looking like sort of what's next. I've always been someone who plans in advance.
05:44 Apparently you were the most difficult person to live with and that you were rude and all
05:50 that as well. I mean, what would you say that? Right. So I never said, please, I'll get that
05:54 out there. I always said, thank you. Okay. So basically it'd be like, oh, well you took
06:00 us this or you took us some white chocolate from the fridge. They did it. I say, thank
06:04 you. And they're like, well, after the, after I originally asked, will you take some white
06:08 chocolate? They'll be like, oh, so where's your please? And I'm like, listen, I understand
06:11 the people saying that, but I always said my thank yous. Katie said one about me leaving
06:15 my beard trimmings in the sink. That is the biggest load of shit ever. I cleaned up every
06:20 time it was never me. So that's just a load of crap. Uh, first two weeks I made my bed
06:24 towards the end. I couldn't be asked. Yeah. You went meet in your bed as well. That was
06:28 the first two weeks I did every single day. And then I just sort of couldn't be asked.
06:31 I'd sort of, I'd, I'd then become single. So I went back into the lounge and then I come
06:34 back into it and yeah, just by the time it was the last couple of weeks, Oh, I've seen
06:38 one that Tink said about foot markings on the bed. Something again, another load of
06:43 shit. So what it was, so I don't know if any of you can ever see the beds. So you'd lie
06:47 on your bed and then I'd put my feet up on the end of the bed. There was like a little
06:50 white backboard. I put my feet on there. So that's, that's all it was. I was never putting
06:54 my feet on my own better. Why do you think you've become like such a target then? Keyword
06:59 buzzwords. People want to come. If my, if my name makes views, then listen, you do it.
07:04 You do it girls. You do it. You come to me.
07:06 Let's talk about your time in the villa. So obviously there was you and Catherine. That
07:10 was a major kind of storyline and I'm not going to lie. I was totally shitting it and
07:15 I've said this to Catherine as well. I was really shitting that I was really rooting
07:18 for you guys. Where do you think it started to go wrong?
07:22 I think obviously coming out now I can now see how much everyone else sabotaged it. There
07:29 was so many opinions and they were all directed at me and Catherine. Now I do not know what
07:34 the reason for that was. But yeah, I started to think it was other people in sort of in
07:39 Catherine's ear. And then obviously my biggest fear coming into Love Island was standing
07:46 alone and the girl I was with coming in with someone. I like sort of went into that fear.
07:51 It happened again. It didn't come across. I ended it on the night. There was a reason
07:55 that conversation got so heated because Catherine come back to me and said, I just want to explore
08:00 another option. I want it. I've only had three days with them. I want to explore that more.
08:03 So she wanted to explore us both. And I was like, no, no, no, no. My pride was so hurt
08:06 at this point. I was like, no, no, no, no. You go with Ellen. That's it. Don't like we
08:10 are done. Then a couple of days later. So I'd basically then sort of not ignored her
08:16 for two days, but I'd been like, she wasn't part of a plan of action or anything to get
08:19 her back. And then a couple of days later I thought if we're going to be friends, I
08:22 need to admit that like it did actually hurt me. And then that was sort of portrayed as
08:25 me trying to get her back and it wasn't the case. So yeah, like how sort of the things
08:31 have come out about Catherine is probably not right. Like I, that's why I said what
08:34 I said on after Sunday of the day, because it's not right. The storyline has not been
08:37 exactly like that.
08:38 Yeah. Do you think Catherine's maybe kind of like, unfortunately be kind of became almost
08:43 like a bit of a villain by accident in a way.
08:45 Yeah. I mean, listen, she did what she did at Casa. She, she did that. Um, so I can't
08:51 defend her for that aspect. Um, but after it, yeah, I don't think it's, it was as bad
08:55 as sort of she made out. Um, movie night, movie night pissed me off a lot. That was,
09:01 that was one that see, I can sort of get past things. I can take a step back. Yeah. And
09:07 things don't really affect me. Movie night was the one night in the whole thing that
09:11 affected me properly. That pissed me off so much because I think it was Amber started
09:15 the room or Amber told the girls that I was going after all the girls and no one was interested
09:20 in me. So the thing, no one wanted you, no one wanted you, no one wanted you. Now that
09:23 would be hard for me to take, even if it was true, but the fact that it was a lie and now
09:27 everyone's seen that it was a lie and everyone from the outside can see it was a lie.
09:31 Gabby's come out saying it was a lie. Yeah. And I, that's fine. That hard to believe.
09:34 I mean, look at you for a start. I mean, I find that hard to believe that no one wanted
09:38 you, but that was quite a hard thing to watch at movie night because obviously it's quite
09:42 a horrible comment. How was that when you heard that it was just annoying because it
09:46 wasn't true. Like, and I was just hoping that everyone from the outside could see it because
09:51 it almost come across as, as if none of the boys were backing me up on movie night and
09:56 now the boys never isolated me. I was, I got on with the boys the whole time, but coming
10:00 from the outside now looking back, I think the boys probably should have stuck up for
10:03 me a little bit more on movie night because the girls had each other's backs. The boys
10:06 probably should have had each other back a little bit more. Yeah. There's been a few
10:09 like kind of lonely Scott edits out there. Did you ever feel like on your own in there?
10:13 Did you feel a bit lost at times? I took myself out of the equation most of the time. So what
10:18 everyone needs to understand is Mitch is Mitch 24 seven a day. To be honest, even when he's
10:24 sleeping still messy, messy Mitch in his sleep. Mitch is like that, that bundle of energy
10:32 at all day. I can not deal with it. I can deal with that a few hours. I cannot deal
10:36 with that all day. And then tie is tie all day. Now we, I love him. I love tie and I
10:41 love Mitch, but I can't deal with that all day. Sometimes I need to take myself out of
10:45 the equation. I need to take myself to this way for, I'm just like chilling on me own.
10:48 I'm like, I've seen a break from all this. And then it was edited as if I was like, all
10:52 the boys were having a conversation. I was on my own. I think it's because people are
10:55 worried that you were kind of being excluded or something. I think that's how maybe people
10:59 thought it was. Apparently you said to Katie that the only reason why you didn't recouple
11:04 at Casa is because you didn't, you weren't impressed with the lineup. No. So basically,
11:08 so after Casa, I was like saying to people, obviously I held a little bit of a, not a
11:15 grudge, but I, my pride was like really hurt by Casa standing there alone. Someone else
11:20 walking back in, you can imagine what it's like. It's, it's a tough one. So no, it wasn't.
11:25 I was never saying the lineup wasn't better. It was more like a, no one wowed me at Casa.
11:30 No one had the way Catherine wowed me when I first went in when Casa happened, no one
11:34 did that. So I was like, how could I expect to even possibly think about turning my head
11:38 when there's no one, there's no one that I thought was on. Yeah. No one apps. They're
11:44 all good looking girls. Let's start. Let's get that straight. I'm not saying they're
11:46 not good looking. They are good looking girls. It's just that same aspect that Catherine
11:50 did. Yeah. It just wasn't on that level for me.
11:53 So let's talk about suitcase gate. I don't know if you've seen this, but Catherine basically
11:58 explained that when the girls got their suitcases at Casa more, the guys had kind of put something
12:03 in for every girl, like a sentimental thing. And she had thought that you had put a hoodie
12:08 in for her, but it turns out that the hoodie was Katie's. So I think she then felt when
12:13 she got the suitcase because there wasn't anything that sentimental from you. I think
12:17 that's when she kind of thought, Oh, okay. Maybe he's just wanting to crack on elsewhere.
12:21 Does it just slap your mind or
12:23 No, it wasn't a case of that. It was, I'd watched the show before, but I'd not, I couldn't
12:27 really remember what happened at Casa. Like with the suitcase thing, I was just packing
12:31 the biggest load of shit ever. Like I was just, I was back. I'm going to pack the worst
12:35 possible stuff here. I do not want her to have anything. I'm not the six boys that are
12:40 going to be sticking on here. I do not want her to have anything at all. Now don't get
12:44 me wrong. Catherine's right. I should have packed something sentimental. I completely
12:47 completely forgot about it. It never, it never crossed my mind when it showed off, but it
12:52 was just a matter of, yeah, just pack the biggest load of shit ever. I do not want her
12:55 to have anything that she could possibly look good at, go in or make her even more attractive.
13:00 I love that. So I was like, absolutely trying to sabotage and Casa.
13:04 So anyway, you're like, you're trying to, you're trying to actually kind of protect
13:07 what you had with her by like sabotaging outfits and stuff. Now she said before Casa that you
13:15 had had a conversation about when Casa happens, that you'll be open and that you said that
13:20 if one of Michelle's come in, you would be open. Did that conversation happen
13:23 I tell you what she said, she has told him the truth. So it was, yeah, it was said it
13:26 was bombshells and Casa were open for and yeah, in the villa were closed off to anyone
13:31 else within the villa. So I think
13:33 No, she also said that when yous were in Casa, when they were talking about who's going to
13:37 be couple, all the girls were like, Oh, Scott will definitely be couple. So can you kind
13:41 of see now with the things before everyone in our head, like pretty much the whole villa
13:46 and our head about you and maybe your intentions and stuff, then they're not the no sentimental
13:50 thing in the suitcase, the previous conversations that you've had about potentially being open.
13:54 Can you see why she kind of thought and Casa, maybe she should crack on
13:58 I can see why, but there's no difference between girls and boys here. A lot of people are coming
14:03 at Montel about tiger and in his head. You can't let you, your own person at the end
14:08 of the day, you can't let people get in your head. She, I think she did. She did what she
14:12 wanted to do. I did what I wanted to do. I said, we took Casa for two completely different
14:15 experiences so I can understand where she's coming from, but I'm not going to give her
14:20 the benefit of the doubt on it.
14:21 Okay. I did ask her if she knew that you weren't going to be couple, which she, and she was
14:26 like, no, she would have been closed off. Maybe I'm just romanticizing what we saw on
14:30 TV, but I genuinely did feel that there was, could be something really special there. And
14:35 I just feel like it's all just been a big miscommunication. Scott,
14:38 but listen, there could have been, there could have been, but it's all I've put some maybes,
14:42 but are you the sort of person that once you've decided you're done, you're done.
14:47 Never say never with it. I will say, I will say never say never. But yeah, again, I ended
14:53 that on the night and I've at no point have I ever come back to Catherine and said, I
14:57 want to sort of reopen that.
14:58 For the benefit of any doubt, is there a chance that you and Catherine could potentially rekindle
15:04 things
15:05 I right now, right now at this moment in time, no, but never say never. That's, that's, that's
15:12 the little bit of hope you can all hold onto the never say never with it. But right now,
15:16 no, it's not something I'm instantly looking to get back.
15:18 But when you were reunited with her at the screen last night, did the feelings come back?
15:23 She's absolutely beautiful.
15:25 No she is. I've never made a secret of that. She is. She's a stunning girl. Yeah, that
15:30 was, we just got on. We were really good friends when I was in there. Catherine, yeah, there
15:35 was no one that was, that was Catherine for me again, even after. And I think people could
15:39 see it with Abby. There was, I think I was always sort of comparing to what I had with
15:44 Catherine and the way I went about it and how naturally it was with Catherine and with
15:49 Abby, it probably just wasn't as sort of natural. Yeah. So yeah, I think Catherine was always
15:55 the sort of the number one for me in there. But listen, she did what she did at Casa and
16:00 that's the be all and end all of it. I had people getting into my head.
16:04 Obviously we saw you guys getting a wee cheeky selfie last night. So what was it actually
16:09 like to reunite? Did you have much of a conversation with her time?
16:11 We had a lot of conversations last night. We've, we spent a lot of, a lot of the night
16:14 together. We spent quite a bit of quite, quite a bit of time together. Spoke about a lot,
16:18 spoke about all that's going on. We're not going to pretend we're oblivious to this. Yeah.
16:23 We sort of spoke about it, just how mad it is sort of thing. And yeah, we had a good
16:27 time together. We, we're really good friends. So you had the selfie, had a selfie with a
16:31 few last night, but the one with me and Catherine was always going to be the one that blows
16:34 up sort of thing. So yeah, I, yeah, it was nice reuniting with her.
16:39 And just once and for all, then did you go in there with a game plan?
16:43 So Katie, as this comment has been made, I said to Katie, I wanted to stay in for a minimum
16:48 of four weeks. Categorically, that is not true. I said it to her last night. That is
16:52 not true. Again, Katie with the one liners, she's being Katie. She knows what she's doing.
16:59 Was it awkward then last night or?
17:00 No, it was fine. I said, I'm not going to hold it. I've never been one to hold grudges.
17:03 That's why it can be sort of, it can come to me being nice to people with Katie. And
17:07 obviously I do like Katie and I do like Uzi. Obviously they've said what they've said.
17:11 I don't take it personally. This is my chance to say it sort of back now.
17:14 Listen, I won't keep you any longer. I'll let you get back to North Wales. Thank you
17:18 so much for coming in. I really appreciate it.
17:20 No, I appreciate that. I appreciate you letting me come on here. Sort of speak my truth.
17:25 Scottisha.
17:26 Scottisha.
17:27 Done. Mic drop.
17:28 No, no, no. Scottisha's still loading. Don't worry. This is only part of the story. Don't
17:31 you worry.
