Love Island bosses share statement on rumours Paige has left villa after Jacques' exit

Love Island star Adam Collard has addressed his relationship with Paige Thorne after suggestions the pair had 'split' just after leaving the villa. The couple, who became 'exclusive' during the few weeks together in Mallorca, just missed out on Monday's final, leaving in fifth place on the islander's penultimate day in the villa.

Love Island star Adam Collard has addressed claims he split from Paige Thorne just days after the series came to an end. Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti were announced as the winners of 2022 Love Island on Monday night, beating runners-up Gemma Owen and Luca Bish to the £50,000 prize. Adam, 26, and Paige, 24, narrowly missed out on a place in the final as they were dumped from the villa the day before.

The Love Island 2022 finalists have arrived back in the UK from Mallorca where they were greeted to an emotional reunion with family and friends. The reunion follows a dramatic final which was broadcast live from the Love Island villa on Monday 1 August. Ekin-Su and Davide were crowned the winners of the series, followed by Gemma and Luca in third place, Dami and Indiyah in second place and Tasha and Andrew in fourth.

Ahead of tonight's series finale, last night's (Sunday 31 July episode) of Love Island, saw the dumping of Paige Thorne and Adam Collard. After being selected as the 'least compatible' couple by some of their fellow islanders, the pair received the lowest votes from the public. Although Adam and Paige were up against strong couples like Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti, many fans predicted that they would be leaving the island due to the villa curse of the yellow beanbag.

Love Island's Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu addressed her bikini blunder on Sunday night during the ITV2 villa's hilarious sports day challenge. During the latest episode, the Islanders received a text inviting them to get physical as they competed in a Love Island sports day.

Love Island fans said two of the boys in the villa would make a 'cute couple' after a cheeky clip of them taking part in a saucy game. The islanders were playing a game of 'suck and blow' - where they had to pass a card around the circle using just their mouths and if they dropped it had to complete a dare - earlier in the week. What viewers didn't see was a raunchy moment between Adam Collard and Dami Hope - until it was aired on Saturday night's episode of Unseen Bits.

Love Island is known for its celebrity appearances and the islanders went wild earlier this month when singer Becky Hill made an appearance. The Brit Award-winning star took to the stage with backing dancers for a high-energy performance by the pool during what was an intense time in the Mallorcan villa.

Love Island 's Luca Bish and Dami Hope apologised to Tasha Ghouri on Tuesday after going "too far" in the Snog Marry Pie game. During the latest episode, Luca pied Tasha, saying: "I could give you a list as long as Adam but we let it go for today and it is just a game." While Dami also pied the dancer, claiming: "The reason I pied you, I feel like you usually get away with a lot of stuff but this pie, you weren't going to get away with..." Tasha was left upset over the "nasty" comments, admitting that being pied didn't bother her but it was the reasons afterwards as it felt like a "personal attack" as they were laughing over it.

Love Island’s Indiyah let Dami know what she really thought of him after the Islanders played a game of Snog, Marry, Pie and his decision for who to kiss left her unimpressed. During the game, Dami chose to kiss ex partner Summer, marry Indiyah and pie Tasha - however the kiss did not leave Indiyah very pleased.The pair shared a very passionate embrace, that left the rest of the Islanders gobsmacked and Gemma saying: “That’s not funny".

Love Island's Paige Thorne and Adam Collard's romance heated up on Sunday night as the pair had their first kiss just days after Jacques O'Neill's exit. While the rest of their Islanders were dealing with the dramatic fallout from movie night part two, Paige, 24, and Adam, 26, decided to find a quiet spot together.The returning Islander, Adam, admitted to Paige that he didn't know where he stood with her before enquiring what his chances were with her. To which Paige replied "your chances are...

Love Island bosses have spoken out after speculations that there was something more to Jacques O’Neil’s shock departure from the show. The rugby player, 23, told his fellow Islanders that he was ready to leave after admitting he wasn’t “being himself” in there and would instead wait for Paige on the outside. However, fans - including Charlotte Crosby, who said his exit was "so obviously" for something that wasn't shown on screen - were not convinced it was his own decision and speculated that something else behind the scenes must have happened for him to up sticks.
