What has Love Island’s Adam Collard said about Zara McDermott split and who else has he dated?
WHEN Adam Collard was first on Love Island back in 2018, he found romance with Zara McDermott.
But despite having a picture-perfect relationship they broke up, not long after leaving the famous villa.
When did Adam Collard and Zara McDermott break up?
Back in February 2019 The Sun revealed that Zara and Adam had called it quits after eight months together.
The pair split following crisis talks over Adam’s wild partying with Jack Fincham, Sam Bird and Instagram model Brittany Archer.
A source close to them said at the time: "Adam and Zara have spent the last week having furious arguments.
"There's still so much love between them but they have decided for the moment that it's best to go their separate ways."
In an exclusive chat with The Sun Online after the split, Zara revealed their relationship had been rocky for months and that they even slept in separate beds.
Zara said: "We've had our ups and downs. There are peaks and troughs in every relationship and we wanted people to understand our relationship is not plain sailing."
In a statement on Instagram, Zara wrote: "I am heartbroken to announce that Adam and I have parted ways.
"I love him very much and will always have a special place in my heart for him and our time spent together.
"I have tried so hard to be the best person I can possibly be and to make it work.
"Sometimes in life, you just aren't enough for someone; no matter what do for them or how much you try to me. For everyone asking if I'm OK, I don't know that I am.
"But I know that soon I will be. I will be strong and prove to myself that I can get through this."

What has Adam said about his break up from Zara?
Adam was slammed at the time for posting a video of him firing a gun and saying 'Thank U, Next'.
Fans then interpreted this as a derogatory reference to Zara .
He released a statement justifying his actions and reassuring fans that he would never be "nasty or malicious" to his ex and that he 'cherishes' their time spent together.
Who else has Adam Collard dated?
Adam has had a string of beauties on his arm over the years.
Before heading into the villa Adam dated Claudia Proctor who he had even whisked away to Bali.
Speaking about their relationship he said: "It was a lot of insecurities on her end. We had our differences.
"I get quite a bit of attention because of the way I look and Instagram is a big thing. The amount of messages I get on socials from people asking 'can you train me?'
"It's me training half naked in just shorts but if you knew that's what I did a year a go why is it now an issue so far down the line? She would ask why girls would like my photos and say 'is that client ever weird with you?'"
In the villa Adam first set eyes on Kendall Rae-Knight before dumping her for Rosie Williams.
But his romance with Rosie was short-lived after Zara entered the villa and he made a beeline for her despite Rosie having just performed a sex act on him.
Rosie even made a stark warning to Zara about the cad, and after the couple broke up Rosie reiterated that Zara was better off without him.
After Zara was dumped from the villa, Adam soon cracked on with tattooed Darylle Sargeant, leaving Zara heartbroken.
