The professional wrestler, who found a spark with model Arabella Chi, 33 , came in as a latecomer and coupled up with the single lady.
But this time, Adam is hoping to be part of the original line-up and get the full All Stars experience from the start.
A source said: "Adam is currently in talks for the second series of All Stars, he's already been on it twice and wants to go back on it for a third time.
"He's 100 per cent single and wants to see if he could be third time lucky.

"His romance with Arabella ended abruptly after the show and he wants to give it his all in January.
"Adam would love to be part of the original line-up and get the full experience this time around.
"His personality did not shine last time, so I'm not surprised that he wants to go back on it again.
"He wasn't shown in the best light last time and the first time he went on it was so long ago, so a lot of people didn't watch it back then.

"But this time people will get to see a lot more of him and what he's all about."
The Sun have contacted ITV for comment.

Adam would not be the only Islander to have appeared three times.
Scott van-der-Sluis appeared as a contestant on the tenth series of Love Island in 2023 and the fifth series of Love Island USA, as well as the spin-off Love Island Games.
In June, Adam admitted he used telly his fame for a "platform" for his fitness business.
Adam now combines his wrestling training with working as a PT and as a mindset coach, focussing on self-development.
He frankly told us he "wasn't on the show because he was desperate to find someone, or be Instagram famous, or known as a celebrity."
Adam, who recently re-located to Manchester, said: "I'm still pursuing my pro wrestling career so I used it for that sort of platform."
Talking of his spot in the spin off he added: "If I go in there and there's a vibe with someone, which there was a vibe, then I would be open to it.
"But the chances of going on that show and actually finding someone it is rare.
"I always went in with a mindset that the chances are quite slim and I think most people are using that show to get themselves out there in one way or another.
SECOND STAB
Adam first found TV fame on the second series of the matchmaking programme, which aired way back in 2015.
He paired up with Katie Salmon, with the pair finishing in fourth place.
Last year, Adam entered as a bombshell and made a beeline for Arabella.
But the pair struggled to make it work and ended up not managing to meet up outside of the show – before calling it quits.
