Adam Collard had 'awkward' FaceTime call with Margot Robbie at Love Island reunion

Adam Collard has revealed that he had an 'awkward' FaceTime call with Margot Robbie and Cara Delevingne, which was engineered by Love Island host Laura Whitmore, during the show's reunion.

After first causing a massive stir in the villa in 2018, Newcastle gym owner Adam went back onto the ITV show for its most recent series, entering in the final few weeks as this year's most explosive and unexpected bombshell. After claiming in his intro VT that he wasn't afraid to split any of the existing couples up, Adam set his sights on Paige Thorne, despite the fact she was coupled up with Jacques O'Neill at the time.

However, Jacques quit Love Island just a day after Adam arrived, paving the way for him and Paige to grow closer. They ended up finishing in fifth place and, despite split speculation within days of the series finishing, they are going strong on the outside, with Adam spending time in Swansea and Paige coming up to Newcastle.

But it sounds like Adam also might have a few celebrity admirers, as, he has shared that he spoke to Hollywood A-listers Margot and Cara on video call during a break in filming for the reunion. Speaking in a YouTube video, he explained: "So we're sitting there during the Aftersun reunion and Laura comes up to us, Paige was in the toilet.

"Laura was like, 'My friends want to meet you and Paige, will you FaceTime them?' so I was like, 'Yeah, yeah' and I FaceTimed them.

"Paige was in the toilet so I jumped on myself. She (Laura) was like, 'These are my two friends' so I was talking to them for a couple of minutes."

Elaborating on how the call went, Adam added: "They looked like they were in Mexico or Bali or somewhere like that, the connection was really bad and they were getting cut off.

"Just before they cut off Laura was just ready to end the call and the penny dropped – it was Margot Robbie and Cara Delevingne. I could not believe it."

Adam was asked by YouTube host Mickey Seers if there was a chance his head may have been turned by Margot, who first found TV fame in Neighbours, before going onto star opposite Leonardo Di Caprio in The Wolf of Wall Street, with the Geordie lad replying: "My head was very turned. Paige came out the toilets and I went, 'Look we need to talk, you're amazing but if Margot Robbie starts FaceTiming me, a boy's got to move.'"
