Paige Thorne and Adam Collard coordinate in black as they cuddle up for a series of Instagram snaps

They exited the Love Island villa in fifth place just last month, narrowly missing out on the final.

And Paige Thorne and Adam Collard showed they are as strong as ever as they posed for a series of sweet Instagram snaps on Tuesday. 

The pair beamed as they wrapped their arms around each other, before lovingly gazing into one another’s eyes.

Welsh beauty Paige, 24, cut a casual figure in an oversized black t-shirt which tucked into a pair of figure hugging cream jeans. 

Accentuating her features with a hint of make-up the stunner let her brunette tresses cascade to her shoulders while wearing her sunglasses on her head. 

Adam, 26, matched his girlfriend in a black t-shirt which he teamed with dark jeans and a pair of trainers.

But with the business owner maintaining a ‘player’ reputation after his stint on the show – Paige recently revealed that the ITV producers pushed her to give him a chance.

Speaking on FUBAR radio with Bobby Norris and Stephen Leng, the former contestant confessed that she ‘didn’t even know’ who the bombshell was – despite being warned he was a ‘massive player’ by the other girls in the villa. 

She explained: ‘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,’ she continued. 

 ‘Then I was like, “Well, if he was like that then what is he doing in here? He’s just going to be a little s**t stirrer. I was going off.”‘

But the paramedic, who was paired with Jacques O’Neill prior to his exit, then revealed that producers had pulled her aside to try and persuade her to give Adam a chance.

 ‘I got pulled aside and they [producers] were like, “Paige why are you already writing him off before you’ve had a chance?”‘ she added. 

‘I was like, “Because of what the girls have been saying. I don’t need to have a chat with him to know there’s not going to be a difference.”

Who? She explained: ‘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” 

And they were like, “No, be open-minded and just talk to him and give him a chance.” I was just like, “What is the point, he’s just going to be a massive player I’m not in here for a player, I’m here for something serious.”

Speaking of their relationship, Paige added: ‘It’s been so good. This boy, I promise you, he’s simping and it’s great, I love it. We see each other when we’ve got time off. 

‘Obviously, I’m living in Swansea and he’s in Newcastle and when we are away, we just keep in touch and text and whatever. But then what we tend to do when we come together, is have proper quality time. So, it works really well in our favour.’ 

‘Me and Adam know where we stand with each other, we know where we are at, we know what we’re feeling, and we’re just not really bothered about anyone else’s opinions.’
