<\/p>\nLOVE Island legend Adam Collard has revealed the real reason why he turned down a third chance to appear on the dating show.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Adam – who is currently looking for love on E4's Celebs Go Dating – has recently fuelled romance rumours with Kate Moss' sister Lottie, 25.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
Speaking exclusively to The Sun about a possible return to Love Island, Adam said: "No I don\u2019t think so because everyone needs to catch up. <\/p>\n
"I\u2019m one show ahead of everyone else.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
"No to be honest, there is no inclination to do it right now. <\/p>\n
"I think the second time very much took a lot of energy away from me."<\/p>\n
It comes after Adam and\u00a0Lottie were even\u00a0seen giggling\u00a0out and about in central\u00a0London\u00a0earlier this week.<\/p>\n
This has left many fans have been wondering if the two are an item.<\/p>\n
<\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n He told The Sun at the launch party of the upcoming series of\u00a0Celebs Go Dating, Adam said: "I think we\u2019re in a really good place right now and you know, she has a lot of respect for me.<\/p>\n "I have a lot of respect for her."<\/p>\n Meanwhile\u00a0Lottie also spoke very highly\u00a0of the Geordie lad.<\/p>\n Lottie said of Adam: "Well he's a lovely guy. We really care about each other.\u201d<\/p>\n When asked if there is a romance on the cards at the event, Lottie said: "There could be. You never know. You never know.\u201d<\/p>\n Adam\u00a0smiled as he stared into\u00a0Lottie's eyes, while she touched his thigh under the table.<\/p>\n They were enjoying some alone time after the launch of the latest\u00a0Celebs Go Dating\u00a0series on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n An insider told The Sun: "They're really close and are super tactile with one another.<\/p>\n "Some people have made out it's another showmance playing out in front of the cameras, but Lottie has been telling friends it's the real deal with Adam.<\/p>\n "It's clear to see the chemistry and connection between them.<\/p>\n "She's obsessed with him and really sees a future outside of filming."<\/p>\n Earlier this month The Sun exclusively revealed that Lottie and Adam threw the\u00a0show into chaos\u00a0by sneaking out on secret dates.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.thesun.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/TM-comp-Emmerdale-v4.jpg\")
