Love Island star Adam Collard has faced a lot of online trolls sending hateful messages on social media following his split from Paige Thorne.
The 26-year-old fitness trainer shocked fellow islanders and viewers when he returned as bombshell, but found love with paramedic Paige, 24, before narrowly missing a place in the final.
In September, pictures showing Adam with his arm around an unknown woman in McDonalds circulated online, fuelling speculation that he had been unfaithful.
However, the star’s rep at the time strenuously denied any foul play but stressed that he ‘understood how this video looks.’
Following the claims, it was reported the couple were ‘on a break,’ however attentive fans suspected things were serious when they noticed Paige had deleted traces of Adam on her Instagram.
After Love Island winner Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu confirmed that the pair have gone their separate ways, a source told Metro.co.uk: ‘Adam and Paige have sadly called time on their relationship.

‘Adam is trying to stay positive but has faced a lot of online abuse over the past couple of weeks, which he’s understandably found tough.
‘He’s got a lot on with fitness work so is going to focus his time on that for now as a welcome distraction.’
Adam and Paige have yet to publicly confirm their breakup.

Paige recently updated her followers that she has resumed her position as a paramedic.
The TV personality shared a video of her putting her uniform back on for the first time, admitting she was ‘nervous’ after having so much time away, but also ‘super excited.’

‘So, as you can see I’m back in my uniform, I’m about to be doing my first shift back. A little part of me is nervous because it’s been so long since I’ve been off, but more than anything, I’m super excited to be back, back with my team, back doing what I absolutely love, what I’m passionate about, what I’m comfortable with, I just know it’s gonna be a great shift,’ she said via Instagram Stories, before ‘touching wood’ for good luck.
Love Island is available to stream in full on ITV Hub.
