Adam Collard teases third Love Island stint weeks after split from Paige Thorne

Love Island star Adam Collard has teased a third stint on the ITV dating show just weeks after “cheating” videos surfaced and he split from Paige Thorne.

Fans were sceptical when the serial love rat coupled up with Welsh paramedic Paige on this year’s show and the two continued dating after leaving the villa, following his controversial previous appearance on the show which prompted a warning from domestic abuse charity Women’s Aid about his behaviour.

And the reality show alum has done nothing to help his reputation this week when he was spotted kissing a mystery woman on a solo holiday after his recent split.

But the Lothario has now teased a third appearance in the famous villa after failing to find love – and denied cheating on ex Paige.

Adam, who first appeared on the show in 2018, has told how he thought producers wouldn’t have him back for a third stint for “being too soppy”.

The Geordie told the Sun that he knows he “didn’t cause enough drama” on the latest season but would consider going on the show again.

"I’d consider Love Island for a third time, but I don’t think producers would have me back as I was too soppy and didn’t cause enough drama," Adam told the publication.

And despite videos surfacing allegedly “proving” to show Adam being unfaithful to Paige, the reality star insisted he didn’t cheat on the 24-year-old brunette bombshell.

"No, I think she knows the truth about all of that, and to be honest I’m not bothered about anyone’s opinion only hers," Adam said.

"I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for her. She’s great, so as long as she knows all of that."

They continued dating after the ITV2 reality show with Adam making the long trip from Newcastle to Swansea to visit Paige's family, who were initially unconvinced by their romance.

However, their relationship lasted only two months amid cheating rumours after recent clips surfaced of Adam getting close to a woman on a night out. Paige subsequently removed all traces of him from her social media page.

The gym owner was also pictured cosying up to another girl at a pool party in Ibiza before heading to Bali just days after their split, where it has been reported that he kissed a mystery woman.

Just days after the pair were first reported to have called time on their romance, Adam embarked on a solo trip to Bali.

And Adam wasted no time it seems in moving on as the Lothario got cosy with a stunning brunette at Finn's Beach Club, in pictures released by The Sun.

Someone at the Beach Club said they were there with pals and 'he was well known by them'.

"A lot of girls were asking him for photos, and then he got closer with this one girl," they said.

The source added: "They chatted for ages - then they kissed several times and spent the evening together at the pool."

Paige has claimed that she has more video evidence of Adam being unfaithful during their short-lived romance.

Speaking on the Saving Grave podcast, Paige said: "I’m single – living my best life. No, I’m kidding, it’s been a really s**t time."

She added: "It’s not just that video. There are other videos that people don’t know about of different people, on the same night, in different locations.

"At first, I was like, Nah do you know what? It’s just an arm. I get that people get flirty. There’s nothing to it. If I’m in the club and a guy puts his arm around me, is it cheating? No.

"And then these other videos came out and I’m just like, ooh. Ooh, I can’t justify this."

She added that there is no chance the pair can work through their differences, saying: "I mean, would you? Would you get back with someone like that? The videos speak for themselves. The ones everyone has seen and the ones only I’ve seen."
