Scott Thomas, the 37-year-old Love Island star, recently shared an intimate look at his London weekend escape with dancer girlfriend Lauren Kingsman via Instagram.

The couple, who started dating late last year, appeared more affectionate than ever during their city break. They indulged in a luxurious spa session, donning swimwear for invigorating cold plunges.

Spa Day Highlights

In a captivating video clip, Scott pours a bucket of ice-cold water over his head. Lauren turns heads in a sleek black bikini, showcasing her toned abs before taking her own icy plunge. The pair then unwind in a sauna and share a relaxing dip in a large ice bath.

Scott captioned the post simply: “Weekends in London.”

Family Approval and Relationship Progress

Scott introduced Lauren to his family on New Year’s Eve, and sources close to the couple confirm the romance is progressing swiftly. His brothers endorse the relationship, and his mother, Gail, along with sister-in-law Lucy, have warmly welcomed her.

Insiders note that Lauren has seamlessly integrated into the Thomas family. The pair have already vacationed together, though they currently navigate a long-distance setup—Scott in Manchester and Lauren in the south of England.

Scott’s Enthusiasm on Podcast

In a January episode of his At Home With The Thomas Bros podcast, Scott opened up about the new romance: “It’s going really well, can’t lie. But we’re still dating, I don’t want to jinx anything but it’s like I’ve f***ing manifested this girl. Everything that she is is everything that I was visualising. It’s weird how aligned we are, and everything I said I wanted, like, she’s a dancer, spiritual, deep, spicy – but I’m not jinxing it.”

They celebrated New Year’s at a Manchester party with Scott’s family present. Brother Ryan shared a sweet moment: “I was like, ‘Where is Scott?’ He was like, ‘I just wanted to spend it with her and have a first kiss going into the new year’. It was so cute.”

Ryan added his approval: “I like her, you know when you get a good vibe from someone, I like her. I was quite pleasantly surprised.” He even danced with Lauren, recalling her intense eye contact: “Ryan literally started dancing with her and she grabbed his hands and gave him some eye contact. Ryan was obviously a little bit drunk and he went, ‘woah, woah’ and she wasn’t doing anything. She was just smiling.”
