Adam Collard and Paige Thorne are more loved up than ever after coupling up on Love Island. The Swansea-born paramedic and gym director met on the 2022 series and just missed out on a place in the final.
Since exiting the show the pair have made a number of trips to see one another, with Adam enjoying everything the Mumbles has to offer and Paige also documenting visits to the personal trainer's hometown of Newcastle.
The duo are currently in Italy, where they have been celebrating Paige's 25th birthday together. To mark the celebrations, Adam, 26, shared a sweet snap of Paige with her arms around him as the pair both laughed.

He captioned it: "Happy birthday you, just a little bit [black heart emoji}. Here's to having the best time always, being weird and getting wine drunk."
Paige also shared her own snap, cuddling up to Adam as they enjoyed Milan, she wrote: "Birthdays spent with you."
Adam and Paige placed fifth on Love Island, just missing out on the final. The pair coupled up on Love Island 2022 after the series four contestant returned to the villa in a shock twist.
The bombshell's arrival came just before Jacques O'Neill, who Paige had been coupled up with, decided to leave the show. Paige recently revealed that producers talked her into giving Adam a "chance" after the girls warned her of him.
Speaking on FUBAR Radio to hosts Bobby Norris and Stephen Leng, Paige said: "All the girls were like Paige this is Adam; I was like why are you saying his name like that? I don't know who he is. They gave me the lowdown and they were rinsing him, proper giving me the insights on what he used to be like."
She continued: "Then I was like, well, if he was like that then what is he doing in here? He's just going to be a little s**t stirrer. I was going off."
However, the Welsh reality television star then revealed producers pulled her aside to try and persuade her to give Adam a chance. She explained: "I got pulled aside and they were like, Paige why are you already writing him off before you've had a chance?
"I was like, because of what the girls have been saying. I don't need to have a chat with him to know there's not going to be a difference, and they were like no, be open-minded and just talk to him and give him a chance." For more showbiz and television stories, get our newsletter here.
