Love Island star Adam Collard opens up on contestant he 'wishes' was in the villa with him

Ex-Love Islander Adam Collard has confessed his attraction to current contestant Olivia Hawkins, while adding that he would have liked them both to have appeared in the same season.

Geordie Adam, 27, became the first person to appear on the ITV2 show twice - quickly becoming known as one of the show's most notorious contestant ever.

And looking at this winter's season, Adam admitted that he would have preferred it if Olivia was a fellow islander during his 2022 stint with the saga.

The Star reports discussing the the current islanders in the villa, Adam said: "Will is my favourite boy and I probably wish to be honest that Olivia was in my year." When asked if he had the hots for the ring girl, Adam admitted: "I would say out of everyone I would say yeah.

"I proper like her. You know when Zara came in, not my cup of tea which is fine because you're not going to be everyone's cup of tea but I kind of preferred Olivia in that situation."

Sharing the other ladies in the villa who had caught his eye, he said: "I really like Tanya as well," continuing: "I like her I'm a big fan of her."

Olivia has had a rather turbulent ordeal since she appeared in the villa and has formed a connection with few of the lads on the show, and although her luck changed when she decided to pursue things with Kai Fagan, the infamous Casa Amor villa caused an evident divide between the pair and they both decided to recouple.

However, over the last few days fans have been left confused with Olivia once again. Although Olivia is now with Maxwell Samuda and Kai is with Sanam Harrinanan, Olivia still seems to have an issue with the fact Kai chose a bombshell during the Casa Amor recoupling.

Taking to Twitter on nightly basis, fans have shared their evident perplexities. One viewer said: "Olivia is still salty about Kai moving on with Sanam… she needs to get over herself! It’s time to send her back to Albert square," while another, echoed: "The cheek of Olivia to be angry at Kai wasn’t it her that said 'oh what’s his name again?' On her first night at Casa Amor."

Love Island airs nightly on ITV1 and ITVX at 9pm - apart from Saturdays.
