Love Island's lothario Adam Collard's romantic history from Zara McDermott to Demi Sims

Last night's Love Island confirmed the return of lothario Adam Collard, a fitness instructor who caused major drama on the fourth season of the show.

Adam, 26, is set to enter in a bombshell tonight and a teaser clip showed he's not wasting anytime in the villa, already chatting to three girls.

As the the fitness fanatic and podcast host sets about finding love on the show, and ruffling some feathers along the way, we've taken a look at his romantic life.

When 22-year-old Adam arrived on the ITV2 show he controversially chose to couple up with Kendall Rae Knight, now 30, early in the series and later ditched Rosie Williams, now 30, in favour of Zara McDermott, now 25.

He stayed in the villa after Zara was dumped, later getting the boot himself.

The pair became rekindled their romance after the show, and later became boyfriend and girlfriend.

The couple seemed serious and even got matching tattoos, with Adam getting the letter 'Z' inked on his right wrist, while Zara had 'AC' etched on the side of her little finger.

Adam reportedly had his tattoo covered up after they split up.

The pair moved in together, often gushed about each other on social media and were pictured at a number of high profile events.

Adam revealed he could see himself marrying Zara, saying: “She's not going anywhere and I'm not planning on going anywhere.

“I want to move forward with Zara, and I've never felt like this about anyone before."

However the pair called it quits in February 2019 after eight months together.

After a few months of secretly dating beauty influencer Sarah Godfrey, the pair went public with their romance in September 2019.

However in January 2020, the pair ended their relationship.

“Me and Sarah are no longer together, no, but still on good terms,” Adam said.

A few months later Adam was spotted dancing with and then kissing Towie star Demi Sims on a night out.

In a first look clip at tonight's episode, shared on yesterday's Love Island : After Sun, Adam wastes no time getting to know his new housemates.

Adam makes a beeline for three girls - Ekin-Su, Paige and Danica - as he calls them all for a chat and gets to know each one of them, no doubt causing some rifts in the process.

Ekin-Su is happily coupled up with Davide, but in the first look clip, she can be seen chatting with Adam as she quizzes why he's also called Paige for a chat too. When Adam asks if she's jealous already, she shakes her head but her flirty tone remains.

Elsewhere, Paige is captivated by Adam and calls him "super fit" amid her trouble with Jacques.

Jacques has been desperate to make it up to Paige after the fall out from Casa Amor, which has seen her struggle to forgive him after he spoke about using the other girls to 'test' his loyalty to her.
