His antics on season four of Love Island earned him the reputation as a bad boy and serial dater.
Before Love Island, Adam also briefly appeared in season 12 of Geordie Shore.
After his stint on the show, he and Islander Zara McDermott continued to date – before ending their relationship after eight months.
The Geordie opened up with Zara about how he had been bullied as a child for his appearance.
Adam said: “I had a bit of a right time in school with people…. got picked on and stuff like that … just standard stuff that everyone gets but I took it to heart a lot more than other people.”
Adam then returned to Love Island as a surprise bombshell in 2022.
