Rosie Williams reacts as Adam Collard returns to Love Island in shock twist

Love Island has announced a major twist nobody saw coming. The ITV2 dating show teased a new bombshell on Sunday, July 10, only the bombshell isn't exactly new.

In a move that's never been done before, Love Island brought back a contestant from a former series. Adam Collard, who was an Islander on series 4 of the show, will return to the famous villa on Monday, July 11.

Adam appeared in the 2018 series of Love Island. He was the last contestant to arrive during the launch show, making his entrance after the Islanders had already coupled up.

He initially decided to couple up with Kendall Knight, but later dumped her for Welsh contestant Rosie Williams, a decision that sent Kendall home. Adam then coupled up with Zara McDermott, before recoupling again in Casa Amor, walking back into the villa with Darylle Sargeant.

Adam and Darylle were later dumped, but not before Adam admitted he still had feelings for Zara, who had previously left the villa. Adam and Zara reunited after the show and dated for eight months before calling it quits and moving on with other people.

And following the shock announcement from Love Island, both Rosie and Zara shared their reaction on social media.

Reacting to a video on Love Island's official Instagram page, Rosie simply wrote "lol", she also responded to Zara's comment which read: You’re joking me," alongside a string of crying laughing emojis.

Posting her reply, Rosie commented: "They winding me up?" And it appears as though Rosie isn't too impressed with the decision, reports The Mirror.

She took to Instagram to post an image of her looking extremely unimpressed alongside the caption: "Tomorrow night..." Rosie followed up her post with a pic of her and Zara laughing alongside the caption: "I'm just sorry we don't got popcorn."

Rosie and Adam have previously had beef after she went on the Jeremy Vine Show and described her relationship with Adam as a "terrible time".

At the time, Adam replied on Twitter: "Yawn. I’ve had longer squat sessions than that 'relationship'. Know the difference between a real relationship and being coupled up on Love Island."

Zara, who is now with Made in Chelsea star Sam Thompson, also reacted on social media. On a video posted to Instagram stories, Sam zoomed in on Adam's abs and could be heard saying: "Who's this guy? Who's this absolute animal?" He then pans to Zara and screams: "It's your ex boyfriend, no way!" as Adam's face pops up on screen.

Love Island continues at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub. Episodes are available the following morning on BritBox. For more showbiz and television stories get our newsletter here.
