Ex Love Islander slams ITV for 'double standards' over Adam Collard's OnlyFans

Shannon Singh has slammed ITV for rehiring Adam Collard despite his Only Fans past.

The Scot, 23, who was dumped from the villa last year early doors, reckons the personal trainer is being treated differently by the industry, claiming women are tainted by the pay for content platform.

Taking to Instagram, she shared a screenshot with reports that Adam was making £271,718 a month from the x-rated content site with the caption: "The sexism of this is f***ing ridiculous."

Shannon, who also has an OnlyFans page, said in her Stories: "The double standards within my industry is a joke. Adam has been making money on OnlyFans and quite rightly so.

"He's now on Love Island twice and I just think it's sad that women are held to completely different standards.

"What's acceptable for a man to do and is almost glorified, but is completely despicable for a woman to do and it's something we constantly see, especially me.

" ITV and everyone are glorifying it for Adam. It's juts really s**t and I guess for women we are going back in history again and it's just double standards."

The ex-glamour model then mentioned the "women in the TV world" who have lost their jobs because of being on OnlyFans, which she claimed was unfortunately "completely fine".

The Mirror has contacted ITV for comment.

Shannon had a very short stint on Love Island and said while she didn't know why she was dumped, the producers were "well aware" she was a "glamour girl" before she went on the show.

"It's just really sad when there's former contestants like myself and other people that I know who also earn money on the site who are now at a disadvantage because of the taboo of Only Fans," she said.

Summing up her impassioned post., she concluded: "Men don't get the stigma. When we hear someone's making a quarter a of a mill a month it's not big thing, but when a woman's doing it it's like she must be a s**t."

Adam's return to Love Island having been on the show in 2018 has certainly ruffled a few feathers.

His ex Rosie Williams, who he dumped in the villa for Zara McDermott says she can't believe he's back even going so far as to say she's warned Islander Paige Thorne's family about him.

However some fans are delighted to see the lothario back.

Viewers of the ITV2 show have branded the comeback star a "living legend" and credited him adding even more drama to the Villa following his arrival earlier this week.

The praise comes following Jacques O'Neill 's departure, just hours after Adam made his epic comeback and set his sights on Jacques' on-off flame, Paige.
