The personal trainer, 27, who appeared in the 2018 series before making history with his surprise second arrival in 2022, has ruled out a return to spin-off series All Stars.
Adam – who is currently looking for love on E4's Celebs Go Dating – has recently fuelled romance rumours with Kate Moss' sister Lottie, 25.
Bad boy Adam said he's happy with his romantic life at the moment and admitted he'd be reluctant to sign up to the ITV2 dating show for a third time, saying it "took a lot of energy" from him.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun about a possible return to Love Island, Adam said: "No I don’t think so because everyone needs to catch up.
