Adam Collard has finally revealed the real reason he returned to Love Island for a second time.
The personal trainer originally appeared on Love Island in 2018 but came back in 2022 in a shock bombshell twist.
The 26-year-old has now admitted that he was swayed by producers to make a comeback purely for the financial benefits.
It's thought that producers wanted him on the most recent series due to the sheer amount of drama he was involved in back in 2018.
After coupling up with numerous women on the show, Adam's behaviour even prompted Women's Aid to release a statement on his behaviour.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, the controversial islander opened up for the first time about why he agreed to return to the dating series.

He said: "Right, I am just going to clear this up right now. Paige is amazing and we are flying right now but everyone who goes on Love Island – it’s series eight now – people know what is coming off the back of it.
"You are getting a few followers, if you have a business like me it’s going to help amplify that and that put you in a better situation and there’s going to be loads of really good opportunities afterwards."
Adam added: "So yes, everyone comes on and says I am here to find love and that, yes you kind of are and obviously that is unreal but nobody is daft.
"Everyone has seen Molly-Mae absolutely smash the hell out of life and to be fair she has smashed the hell out of her relationship as well but even if you can get a little piece of that, if you have been in the villa for long enough, you know you are going to be pretty set up for life."
Adam came into the villa with viewers of the hit dating show thinking that he would cause plenty of drama.
However, it looks like he could have changed his ways as he had a pretty drama free run.
He coupled up with paramedic Paige Thorne and the pair seem to still be going strong ever since.
The duo have recently said that they are now officially in a relationship and have already dropped the L-bomb.
But it looks as though the couple were involved in some drama after leaving Love Island.
It was reported that Adam was involved in an altercation outside a nightclub where he was attacked and had his shirt ripped.
While enjoying a night out in his home of Newcastle with Paige, Adam was approached by a group of men.
In a clip, Adam was seen to be crowded by a group who tried to rip his shirt off him before security guards got involved in the altercation.
All while the situation was going on, Single Ladies was playing in the background while Adam is seen trying to defend himself and move away.
