He confessed his feelings

Adam Collard was branded a ‘God’ for his body when he entered the Love Island villa but by the time he left four weeks later he had fallen from grace and was being called a 'snake'. The 22-year-old from Newcastle had rubbed fans and Islanders up the wrong way after jumping from girl to girl during his short stint on the show. However it seems it may be third time lucky for the lothario (even though there was a girl number four!).

On last night’s Love Island: Aftersun, any fans having a drink would have spat it out in shock as Adam confessed to host Caroline Flack that he “loves” Zara McDermott. Caroline then asked Zara if she felt the same and if the couple were in love, to which they confirmed they were. Talk about a plot twist.

Fans were quick to take to Twitter to express their shock and scepticism...

On a show called Love Island you’d expect this sort of happy ending, however Adam hasn’t had the most fairytale experience with the ladies of the villa, being branded more a player than a prince. 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.

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.

After a few days with Darylle, Adam said he was missing Zara and starting to regret moving on so fast, so when he was dumped a couple of days later he went to try win her back, and it seems after this love confession he’s managed to do that. When Adam appeared on Love Island: Aftersun he also cleared up what REALLY happened during the chat with Rosie where he appeared to roll his eyes.

He told Caroline the chat went on far longer than viewers saw and he only looked like that because he couldn’t get a word in. He also apologised for his behaviour with all the Love Island ladies.

There have been long term relationships, engagements and even babies from previous Love Island couples, so watch this space it could actually work out. Zara just needs to listen out for those four words... “I’d be lying if...”
