Paige Thorne says she was talked into getting to know her current partner Adam Collard by producers after writing him off as a potential love interest at first. Paige, who placed fifth on the dating show and just missed out on a place in the final, said bosses "pulled her aside" and suggested she give Adam a chance.
Adam, 26, joined the 2022 series as a bombshell in a shocking twist. The reality television star had previously appeared on series 4 of the ITV2 programme, but Paige explained how she "didn't know" who he was before his villa return, Wales Online reports.
Speaking on FUBAR Radio to hosts Bobby Norris and Stephen Leng, Paige said: "All the girls were like Paige this is Adam; I was like why are you saying his name like that? I don't know who he is. They gave me the lowdown and they were rinsing him, proper giving me the insights on what he used to be like."
