Love Island's Paige Thorne and Adam Collard have reportedly called time on their relationship after footage emerged of him with his arms around another woman. Newcastle-born Adam, met Swansea girl Paige, 24, on the hit ITV dating series earlier this year and after getting to know each other, their flirty friendship soon developed into a romantic relationship.
After the series ended, the couple soon jetted off on holiday to Italy, before returning to UK and working hard to make their newly long-distance relationship work. Just last month, Paige showed Adam around some of her favourite places in Swansea and earlier this month the couple enjoyed some time together in London, with Paige sharing photos of the couple on her Instagram page and writing: "Happiest with u x".
Unfortunately, the couple's love story seems to have come to an end after Adam, a personal trainer, was photographed with his arm around another woman in a McDonald's cafe after a night out earlier this month. While the 26-year-old soon denied anything untoward, it's understood Paige, a paramedic, has had enough of the constant rumours and has called it quits on their relationship.

A statement from Adam's representatives, issued after photos of he and an unnamed woman in McDonald's were shared online, said: "Adam headed to McDonald’s after a night out with friends. His friends were alongside him when a group of girls asked for photos and Adam being his friendly self was open to posing and chatting to the girls, alongside other fans who wanted to chat in the same video.
"Adam understands how this video looks but wants to state that he left the restaurant with his friends and a box of 60 nuggets (with nothing or no one else) with the intention of getting home safely. Adam and Paige are currently dating and Adam only has eyes for her."
Now, according to The Sun, Paige has told Adam she needs space and has asked to take a break from the relationship. An insider said: "Paige is really upset by everything that has gone on and feels like she is being humiliated.
"She believes Adam didn't do anything and knows women throw themselves at him. But it doesn’t mean she doesn’t find it difficult when people start gossiping about their relationship and share it on social media.
"Paige had told Adam she needs a break and to spend some time away from him. She is new to the spotlight and it is hard when claims about your boyfriend are being sent around thousands of times on Snapchat.
"Life has been non-stop for Paige since she left the villa and some downtime with her friends and family is what she needs – and what she has chosen to do."
