US television star of Vanderpump Rules Scheana Shay has revealed she has set her sights on a “hot Australian” reality TV regular after a chance meeting on the Kyle & Jackie O Show.

Vanderpump rules star Scheana Shay came to Australia on the prowl, and has set her sights on reality TV regular Justin Lacko.

Shay is in Sydney on holidays but took a day to do some promo for the seventh season of Vanderpump Rules, a show that follows the waitstaff of a swanky Beverly Hills restaurant.

Lacko caught her eye earlier that morning and not one to let an opportunity slip away, Shay slid into his Instagram messages to find out what he was doing that night.

“We’ve been DMing (direct messaging), he’s this really hot Australian guy who’s on reality shows,” Shay said, opening her Instagram to show Confidential the mystery man.

Lacko (third from right) was a contestant on Love Island.

“I was like ‘we’re going to send him a message and find out what he’s doing later’.

“He said he was getting on a flight back to Melbourne but he said he was maybe going to be in the States soon.

“Reason to come back.”

Lacko was on Love Island last year and I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here this year.

On the latter, Richard Reid quizzed the 28-year-old about his sexuality, saying a lot of people believe he is gay.

Lacko ended the conversation but not before admitting he doesn’t speak to his grandmother because she accused him of being gay.

Nevertheless, Lacko said he and Shay had a nice little moment.

“We had a bit of a sliding door moment where she saw me as I was coming out of the elevator,” he said.

“She messaged me first, there’s been some exchanges where we might be placed in the next month.

“My options are open, I’m a single man.”

A new episode of Vanderpump Rules is available each Tuesday on Foxtel and hayu, same day as the U.S. — maybe Lacko will make a cameo appearance.
