Adam Collard reveals real reason he returned to Love Island

The 26-year-old reality star, who first appeared on the ITV2 dating show in 2018, shocked viewers after making a comeback this season, and the star - who is currently dating fellow former Love Islander Paige Thorne after meeting this series - admitted one of the reasons he headed back to the villa was to help promote his business.

Speaking on his YouTube channel, Adam insisted some of the Islanders are in the villa for similar reasons.

He said: “Right, I am just going to clear this up right now. Paige is amazing and we are flying right now but everyone who goes on 'Love Island' – it’s series eight now – people know what is coming off the back of it.

“You are getting a few followers, if you have a business like me it’s going to help amplify that and that put you in a better situation and there’s going to be loads of really good opportunities afterwards.

“So yes, everyone comes on and says I am here to find love and that, yes you kind of are and obviously that is unreal but nobody is daft.

“Everyone has seen Molly-Mae absolutely smash the hell out of life and to be fair she has smashed the hell out of her relationship as well but even if you can get a little piece of that, if you have been in the villa for long enough, you know you are going to be pretty set up for life.”

Just last week, the fitness trainer had made his relationship with the Welsh paramedic official.

He told On Demand Entertainment at the time: "The only time where we got to sit on the sofa. It was only us for the first time.

"I was like: 'Right, I need to ask you now because it's not for anyone's benefit, apart from mine and yours.

"'I do really want you to be my girlfriend.'

"I didn't even ask her actually, I just told her. I just said: Right, so this is a thing now, please."
