Love Island's Adam Collard 'clears up' Paige Thorne tattoo claim

Adam Collard has set the record straight after Paige Thorne claimed he was getting a tattoo of her name. The Love Island 2022 stars, who just missed out on a place in the final, have been going from strength to strength since placing fifth on this year's show.

After visiting Paige's hometown of Swansea, you can read more on this here, the pair are now enjoying some time together in Newcastle, where Adam hails from. Keeping their followers updated on their trip, the pair shared videos from inside a tattoo parlor, where Adam was adding to his ink collection.

"As if he's getting my name," Paige told her 1.4 million fans as she giggled and filmed Adam sitting in the chair. However, Adam later confirmed that Paige was just joking.

Alongside the caption "she's really chuffed with how funny she thinks she is," Adam asked Paige on camera: "Are you proud of yourself?"

He added: "As much as she begged, begged and begged 'us to get her name...there's only been three girls' names on 'us before, it's a cursed omen. So we've decided that's not the one."

Adam continued: "I did get a tattoo and she was a little bit jealous of Tasha and Andrew but we move!" as they both burst out laughing. It comes after Tasha and Andrew, who placed fourth on this year's series, recently got matching rose tattoos.

Tasha got the ink on her neck, while Andrew's is on his hand. Speaking about the tattoos in a YouTube video, Tasha said: "I think the rose is just a staple of our relationship.

"I think every relationship has something that is meaningful to them and that's what is for me and you. So we've both just said let's just get matching tattoos, why not? At least it wasn't our names or initials."

Andrew added: “I’m quite confident that I am going to be with this girl forever, so it’s all good.” For more showbiz and television stories, get our newsletter here.
