Paige Thorne says Love Island producers talked her into giving Adam Collard a 'chance'

Paige Thorne has told how she was talked into getting to know her current partner Adam Collard by producers after writing him off as a potential love interest. The Love Island star, 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.

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."
