Life and career

[edit | edit source]

Adam Elliott Collard was born on 26 October 1995 in Newcastle upon Tyne.[1][2] Prior to appearing on Love Island, he worked as a personal trainer, later working as an online fitness coach and running his own personal training business, The Sculpt Academy.[3][4] In 2018, Collard became a contestant on the fourth series of Love Island.[3] He entered as the first "bombshell" on Day 1, and had to steal a girl of his choice, which was ultimately Kendall-Rae Knight.[5] During his time in the villa, he was coupled up with a further three girls, Rosie Williams, Zara McDermott and Darylle Thomas, the latter of whom he was dumped alongside on Day 33.[6][7] His behaviour during the series sparked criticism from charity Women's Aid, who condemned him for his "gaslighting" behaviour.[8][9]

In 2022, Collard returned to the Love Island villa as a "bombshell" in the eighth series, four years after his original appearance.[10][11] He was the first person in the show's history to appear as a contestant twice in separate series.[12] His return was again criticised by Women's Aid, who called for ITV to "crack down on emotionally abusive behaviour".[13][14] Collard was dumped from the villa alongside Paige Thorne two days before the final.[15][16] In 2023, Collard was announced to be participating in the twelfth series of the E4 dating series Celebs Go Dating.[17]

After beginning a relationship in 2023, Collard became engaged to sports presenter Laura Woods in July 2024, and in September, Woods revealed she was pregnant with the couple's first child.[18]

In 2025, Collard was named in the line-up for Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.[19]
