Adam had been left frustrated at Kendall’s unwillingness to commit this week, and didn’t seem to understand she wanted to take things slow.

Having had his head turned by Rosie following her arrival during Wednesday’s episode, Adam decided to just be friends with Kendall, before snogging Rosie’s face off following a heart-to-heart.

But the next day, Kendall told Adam she wasn’t ready to give up on him, placing him firmly back in the love triangle.

Speaking in the Beach Hut, he said: “Kendall’s pretty much just in two minutes, probably given us more out of the whole time I’ve spent with her in the villa previously, so I mean, it took me kissing Rosie to actually spark it off.

“I like the fact that she actually came over to us and said that it upset her because now I know she actually cares.

“She told us pretty much everything I wanted to hear. So now it’s playing with my head completely.

“Because now I’m considering the both of them as options for me when it comes to recoupling.”

But in the end, the 22-year-old chose to couple up with Rosie, sending Kendall packing in the process, and viewers were NOT happy.
