Adam Collard 'gets Paige's name tattooed on him' squashing rumours the couple have split

Adam Collard is thought to have got girlfriend Paige Thorne’s name tattooed on him – scuppering rumours the couple have split.

The Love Island stars came fifth on the ITV dating show after being dumped from the island just before the final.

This week fans were convinced the pair had gone their separate ways as they shared snaps without each other and spent time apart.

Many asked Adam, 26, about Paige's whereabouts as they tried to work out if the good-looking couple were still together.

But on Wednesday, Adam shared a video of himself and Paige enjoying a breakfast date at The Dispensary Coffee House in Newcastle – and later getting her moniker etched on his body.

Welsh paramedic Paige was pictured with a stack of chocolate pancakes in front of her – complete with syringe in an post shared on Adam's Instagram story.

Sharing the snap with his 1.2 million Instagram followers, Adam captioned the post: “One happy girl right now @paigethornex.”

Over the top of the video he is heard saying: “Tell me a more Paige Thorne breakfast if you tried,” as Paige giggles.

The next clip in his Instagram stories shows him sat in a tattoo parlour getting inked on his left leg.

“With the main man for a little tickle @thesoysource,” the 26-year-old fitness coach wrote.

Over on Paige’s Instagram stories, the 24-year-old shared a close up of Adam getting another tattoo, this time on the back of his right shoulder.

While we haven’t seen the results of the tattoo yet to know exactly what Adam got inked with, Paige gave her 1.4 million followers a hint.

As Adam looked to be in a slight pain from the tattoo needle, Paige wrote: “As if he’s getting my name x @adamcollard.”

Paige recently opened up about Adam reuniting with her mum in Wales after they first met in the ITV2 villa.

At first Samantha wasn’t too keen on the Love Island veteran's romance with her daughter, telling her daughter: “I’m not buying into it.”

Reflecting on the awkward exchange on former Love Island star Toby Aromolaran’s podcast Fancy A Chat?, Paige said her “stomach dropped” when she heard her mum say that.

But she explained: “They don't see everything and after what the girls told me about Adam, I know there would have been press out there. That kind of stuff she would have seen.

“So, at the time it wasn't nice to hear and obviously it was awkward breaking it to Adam, ‘my mum isn't a huge fan right now’, but he took it really well and understood.”

Since the show wrapped, Paige and Adam have travelled to her hometown of Swansea to bond with her family away from the cameras – and it appears Adam is now in her mum’s good books.

Paige said: “My mum went up to him straight away and she said, ‘I'm so sorry for being so savage’. Not my mum apologising – she doesn't do that often.

“Now she approves. I honestly didn't have one doubt she wouldn't. She just needs to meet him out of this environment and have a proper conversation."
