Love Island’s Adam Collard has said that Zara McDermott is now his “priority” since leaving the villa, but she has said he is yet to call her.

After ploughing through the villa and competing with Megan for the ‘muggy’ title, Collard has told of his excitement to see McDermott after being dumped on Thursday night.

Following his exit from the show, the 22-year-old said: “She said something along the lines of ‘I’ll be waiting outside, I’ll be waiting with ten thousand or twenty thousand kisses!’

“I do really, really want to see her, I’m excited for that. I wouldn’t go back in there now. I want to see Zara.

“That is my priority now. I was ready to come out, especially when I knew I had feelings for Zara.”

Despite gushing over his excitement to see the government advisor, Collard is yet to contact the government advisor, who previously told how she was open to "waiting" for the personal trainer.

Speaking on Good Morning Britain, she said: “I’ve not heard from him. I think he needs to pull his finger out a little bit.

"It wasn’t easy watching him kiss someone else on TV so soon after we had separated so I think he has got to pull his finger out a little bit and make some effort.

"The Adam I watch on TV and the Adam I got to know in the villa are two different people. I need to wait to speak to him in person.”

McDermott appeared alongside former islander Rosie Williams and told fans they are “absolutely fine” with each other after Collard dumped Williams for McDermott.

Williams said: “We are going to go for dinner and have a little chat.”
