Author: Alex RossPublished 25th Jul 2018
He was this year's Love Island lothario, but it looks like Geordie boy Adam Collard is VERY happy with fellow Islander Zara McDermott right now. As well as declaring his love for Zara, Adam has only gone and got a 'Z' tattoo on his hand for his Love Island girlfriend.
Despite only dating for a number of weeks, Zara showed off Adam's brand new tattoo in her Instagram Story. Videoing the 'Z' on Adam's hand, Zara wrote, 'He just got a lil Z on his hand.' sic
It comes just weeks after Adam admitted he 'loves' Zara during an interview with Caroline Flack on Love Island: Aftersun. When Caroline then asked Zara if she felt the same and if the couple were in love, both confirmed they were.

Although Adam may seem loved up now, the 22-year-old caused quite a stir when he first entered the villa back in June.
Adam entered the villa after the original ten islanders had already coupled up and set his sights on Kendall Rae-Knight, he took the 26-year-old on a date and kissed her that night. He then chose to ‘steal’ Kendall from Niall Aslam (who sadly left the villa a short time after).
Then entered Rosie Williams, and Adam’s signature statement ‘I’d be lying if I said I didn’t find her attractive...’ became the subject of many jokes and memes. Only 45 minutes after ending things with Kendall, Adam was kissing Rosie and he then chose to couple up with her, sending poor Kendall home first. Things seemed to be going well for Rosie and Adam, with the pair even becoming members of the ‘do bits society’. There was a slight bump when it seemed Adam might have had his head turned by Megan Barton-Hanson, but she didn’t fall for his charms and Adam stayed with Rosie.
Enter new girl Zara McDermott who caught Adam’s eye, with him telling the 21-year-old Government Advisor that he had an instant connection with her. In a case of history repeating itself (or karma), Adam then kissed Zara only a short time after things ended with a visibly upset Rosie.
See all of the secrets from Love Island 2018:
Rosie was dumped from the villa and it seemed that Adam had settled down and met someone he did care about, however a shock dumping that saw the Islanders pick who went sent Zara packing whilst Adam stayed. As a distraught Zara sobbed, Adam told Ellie Brown he couldn’t imagine ‘meeting a girl like Zara in a million years’.
Zara was out of the villa posting about waiting for Adam. However Adam was having another ‘instant connection’ with new girl Darylle Sargeant at Casa Amor, sharing a bed and kissing her. Zara was seen watching the show shocked but said she’d see what happened with Adam when he was out.
But after Adam was dumped shortly after, he realised Zara was the girl for him and the couple have seemed loved up ever since.
Will they last?
Love Island continues every night at 9pm, with the final taking place on Monday 30th July.
