How old is Adam Collard on Love Island? Fans startled by bombshell's age as he makes shock return

Adam Collard has been confirmed for a shock return to Love Island and, as well as his comeback causing a big stir, his age has once again become a massive talking point amongst fans.

Newcastle personal trainer Adam was one of the most talked about Islanders back in 2018, when he entered as a late arrival early on, before having his head turned by a number of girls and being on the receiving end of an angry outburst from Rosie Williams over the way he treated her.

Adam ended up leaving series 4 of Love Island as a single man, after failing to find romance on the show, but now he's back, with his return to the ITV programme unveiled right at the end of Sunday night's episode, just as two couples' saw their future on the island come under serious threat thanks to the public vote.

Adam has vowed to "ruffle some feathers," in the villa with fans predicting he'll cause carnage and try and break up some of the existing couples. And, as they wait to get a first look of the Geordie PT in action on Love Island 2022, viewers have once again been surprised by his age.

How old is Adam on Love Island?

When Adam first went into Love Island in 2018, he was 22, a fact that many fans of the show couldn't get their heads round. As soon as they saw him again on Sunday, they once again headed to Google in search of answers, to find that he is now still only 26.

Adam was born in Newcastle on October 26, 1995, but many people were totally convinced he was quite a bit older, with some Twitter users saying Love Island's new promo photo of him did Adam no favours.

Commenting on the picture, one tweeted: "At first I thought, it's going to be awkward with him being so much older than the other islanders, but then I looked it up- Adam was only 22 his first time on the show?! How?! (Also, how hard has he been living that his face looks like this at age 26."

A second reacted: "I had to google his age cause I thought Adam must have been 30-something by now, no way is he just 26????," with another posting; "adam collard is 26 and my age??? he looks like my dad’s co worker or something."
