Love Island star Adam Maxted, 31, stole the show when he entered the Villa back in 2016.

As a professional wrestler, Adam caused a stir in season two after coupling up with Olivia Buckland, 30, Zara Holland, 28, Liana Isadora Van Riel, 28, and Tina Stinnes, 28, before eventually finding a connection with Katie Salmon, 28.

The pair left the island in fourth place, however their connection didn't last and the couple split shortly after returning home. In true reality TV fashion, the two announced their split via a Twitter spat, where Adam likened Katie to a kebab and she said he was like a pair of socks- ouch!
