Love Island’s ‘fame-hungry’ Adam Collard LIVED with his long-term girlfriend before dumping her to go on the show
ADAM Collard has been branded “fame hungry” for splitting with his longterm girlfriend to go back on Love Island.
The 26-year-old fitness trainer lived with his other half and dumped her two weeks before entering the Majorcan telly villa.
Casa Amor bombshell Jasmine Nichol has revealed the Geordie star broke it off with the beauty to jump back into the series after first starring in Love Island in 2018.
She claimed he’s not looking for a serious relationship at all, but will target characters on the show who will keep him in there for as long as possible.
Jasmine fumed: “He’s definitely trouble.
“He will (dump Paige Thorne). Well, he had a girlfriend right until he came on. Like when I left he still had a girlfriend who he lived with, put that in context. (He) wants to get more fame.”

Jasmine, who is also from Newcastle, revealed Adam sabotaged her relationship with her first boyfriend.
The Casa Amor girl was stunned to hear his name announced as the villa’s new bombshell while filming spin-off show Aftersun.
“He’s my ex’s best friend,” she told YouTuber Murad Merali’s podcast.
“I had a heart attack when we were putting on our hair and make-up before Aftersun and everyone was just like, ‘Adam Collard’s back.’
“I’m like ‘haha yeah right no way.’ And everyone was like, ‘No Jaz, it is.'”

She went on: “Me and him didn’t get on. I was 19 when I was with my first boyfriend and he was 24 at the time.
“And he used to use my age against us, and be like, ‘you can do so much better than Jaz, she’s not that fit, she’s not that funny, she doesn’t bring anything to the table.’
“Like slate me at my young age to be like, ‘you’re this, you’re that,’ and put us in a box. It was very nasty and I didn’t like that at all. He’s not a very respectful man.”
Adam has shaken the villa couples in just two days, with Jacques O’Neill quitting the ITV2 show after seeing him pulling Paige for a chat.

He’s also poked holes in Luca Bish and Gemma Owen’s relationship, and told Davide Sanclimenti that Ekin-Su didn’t close the door on getting to know him.
His Love Island ex Rosie Williams also branded him “fame hungry”.
Welsh reality star Rosie, who is now in a “happy” relationship, told us she’s “warned Paige’s family” about Adam, saying: “Based on my experience I’d say not to couple up with Adam.
“I actually spoke to whoever is running Paige’s social media accounts and said ‘I hope my Welsh sister doesn’t do it. Tell her to stay away.’”
Adam previously dated his Love Island co-star Zara McDermott and Towie star Demi Sims, as well as Irish model Sarah Godfrey.
