Adam Collard's Love Island ex Rosie says 'he wouldn't be her first choice to bring back'

Rosie Williams has made a fresh dig at Adam Collard, as the Love Island lothario returns to the villa.

The brunette bombshell, 30, was dumped by the personal trainer, 26, in the villa in 2018, with him choosing to be with Zara McDermott instead, who he went on to date for eight months after the show ended.

Rosie, as well as the nation, were shocked when it was revealed on Sunday night that Adam would be entering the villa once more, the first contestant to ever do so, and he's already ruffled feathers among the established couples.

And on Instagram today Rosie took another jibe at the fitness fanatic, having already said he's gone on the show for fame.

In a question and answer session Rosie was asked about her thoughts on Adam's surprise appearance on this year's show.

She replied: "I think everyone who's ever watched Love Island was completely shocked as they've never done this before. I was just about to go to sleep & my phone blew up haha!

"Wouldn't be my first choice of a bombshell to bring back but hey ho!"

Another fan asked if she would go back to the villa if she was single, prompting her to reply: "If I was younger and single I definitely would.

"It's an experience I was really lucky to get and I made memories that will last a lifetime.

"However, I am at a different stage in my life & feel like I've really gown as a person in the last four years.

"I'm really enjoying focussing on different aspects of my career & I don't believe in going backwards."

After the big reveal, Rose told The Sun: “I think he’s gone on for fame."

As he gets a second bite of the cherry, Rosie reckons Paige Thorne and Ekin-Su will be just Adam's type and admitted she'd “warned" the paramedic's family about him.

“Based on my experience I’d say not to couple up with Adam," she revealed.

“I actually spoke to whoever is running Paige’s social media accounts and said ‘I hope my Welsh sister doesn’t do it. Tell her to stay away.’"

Adam's first time on the show was marred with controversy after he was slammed for the way he treated Rosie.

Having couple up with Kendall Knight originally, the trainer then moved on to the Welsh student, who broke down in tears after he betrayed her trust.

The couple got close under the covers, but then Adam started flirting with Megan Barton Hanson and spitefully accused Rosie of being "clingy".

He then moved onto Zara McDermott, leaving Rosie devastated.

During heartbreaking scenes, she told a smiling Adam: "Do you think this is all funny? Is this a big game to you? I don't think you have any idea how much you've really hurt me and really upset me."

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.
