I was on Love Island and Adam Collard is playing a game – his bad boy side will NEVER leave him
WINTER Love Island's Biggs Chris reckons bombshell Adam Collard is playing a game - and his bad boy side will NEVER leave him.
The Scottish star - who shot to fame on the show in 2020 - believes the 6ft 5 former Islander is putting on an act to convince the girls he's changed.
Adam was accused of gaslighting girls during the 2018 series - and this week his return to Love Island was slammed by Women’s Aid.
But he has defended his relationship reputation to potential love interests Paige and Gemma - saying he's "never cheated" on an ex.
Reacting to his stint on the show as it was revealed Paige's on/off partner Jacques had quit. Biggs said: "So far Adam has proven himself to be a gentleman.
"He's in there to stir the pot, but he's on his best behaviour right now.

"I do still believe he'll flip into the bad boy that's inside him.
"I think he'll try to prove himself, but that bad boy side will never leave him. "
Back in series four, a domestic abuse charity released a statement around the personal trainers’ treatment of law student Rosie Williams, declaring there were “warning signs in his behaviour”.
Now ITV2’s move to allow Adam back into the villa has prompted concern from viewers who have recalled his attitude the first time round, prompting Women’s Aid to comment once again.

In a statement, Women's Aid's Teresa Parker said: “In the 2018 series of Love Island, we saw Rosie rightly call out Adam for his unacceptable behaviour, which included gaslighting and emotional abuse.
“We hope that ITV recognise how serious this issue is and that it must be learned from, considering they have asked Adam to return to the show.
“Love Island is watched by many young people and we know what a huge influence it has.
“Producers must make sure there is support for contestants throughout, and intervene if relationships become unhealthy or abusive”.
Adam left the villa with stunning Zara McDermott, who is now a documentary presenter for BBC Three, and the pair dated for eight months before splitting.
But he’s now back in the villa - and says he’s once more looking for love.
