He said: ‘I’m dating again now. Did you know? As much as I’ve been a bit ruthless in the past with relationships and yes, I’ve ended things when they were starting to not work out, I’m actually a bit of a hopeless romantic.
“I believe that there is someone for everyone and I want to go and do all the things that I like to do with another person.”
Adam and Paige broke up after she accused him of cheating after he was filmed flirting with other girls on party nights.
Fitness expert Adam acknowledged the split was “a bit of my fault”, adding: “I ended up breaking up on the second or third day of my stay in Bali.” I think we both knew then that we were on the same page and knew what was coming.’

Adam was the first contestant to return for a second series of Love Island and he cited Megan Barton Hanson as someone he thinks would make a good bombshell for a future series.
Adam described Megan as “the female version of me” noting that “there’s a reason” the producers put him back on the show.

“From then on, I was like, ‘We’re done. This is more of a joke now.’ He replied, “I didn’t want it to be this way, but at least we both know where we stand.”
