Love Island's Adam Collard - who famously appeared in two series of the hit show - is taking on a rather different challenge to thank the hospice that looked after his grandma when she was in her final weeks.
Adam is to complete three triathlons in aid of Newcastle's Marie Curie Hospice which looked after his much-loved grandma when she had pancreatic cancer. Geordie personal trainer Adam, 27, wanted a new challenge after his latest stint on the island, and signing up for an Ironman event has now become a trilogy of triathlons.
He said: "The game plan was to do the Bolton one with two friends from work, and then I got tempted by the Staffordshire one because Ironman invited me to come along. Then – classic me – two is just not as cool as three, is it? I thought I may as well do three.
