Adam Collard pokes fun at own Love Island history, but vows to be loyal to Paige Thorne

Love Island's Adam Collard poked fun at his own colourful past on the show during Friday's instalment of the hit ITV2 programme - before vowing to remain loyal to partner Paige Thorne.

The 26-year old shocked viewers after he told paramedic Paige that he would like the couple to be 'exclusive'.

Adam has somewhat of a bad boy image from his previous stint in the villa in series four, however.

In 2018 the personal trainer first wooed Kendall Rae-Knight, before angering fans as Rosie Williams performed a sex act on him under the sheets.

Adam's drama didn't end there though as he soon moved on and coupled up with Zara McDermott and even found time to finish his stay with another girl in Daryelle Sargeant, with whom he was dumped.

But addressing the rest of the boys in the villa during the latest episode, he explained: "It's so easy with Paige. You know what we're like, I don't have to make an effort because it's so natural."

Appearing in the Beach Hut, he then sniggered: "We all know I've been around the block.

"But I suppose when you know, you know."

Back with the boys, meanwhile, Adam said of Paige: "She's not going to be the one who's going to be like 'don't do this, don't do that'. She's cool - and she get's on with you, that's the best thing."

Adam's comments were met with scepticism online however, with fans questioning the term 'exclusive' bearing in mind the pair have only been together for a week.

"Still can't believe Adam wants to be exclusive with Paige after one week. In my opinion he really needs that 50k," wrote one Twitter user.

Another commented: "Proof that Adam and Paige are the most fakest couple is that they are exclusive a week after coupling. They are hungry for that cash."

A third declared: "Adam and Paige seem so insincere and fake. Adam is lying CLEARLY, goes from saying how can he close himself off after a week to then saying let's be exclusive I mean come on guys … who is actually voting for them?"

And a fourth said: "Adam is 100% using Paige as a ticket to the final. He used women when he was first in the villa, saw that everyone liked Paige and was saying she deserved better and decided to say he wants to be exclusive in literally a few days… Game. Player."
