LOVE Island bad boy Adam Collard will turn away hundreds of female fans throwing themselves at him during his mammoth PA tour – as he insists he will never cheat on Zara McDermott.

The hunk, 22, bragged that he’s always been surrounded by women on nights out, even before going on the show, and has been able to resist temptation when he needed to.

Asked if his head will be turned by admirers coming on to him at PAs, he told The Sun Online: “I’ve had plenty of that already and it hasn’t been an issue. I know it won’t be an issue because I know how into Zara I am.

“I’m not being funny, I didn’t come on Love Island to go on public appearances with girls. I could do that before. I didn’t need Love Island to do that. I’m happy where I am with Zara.”

Adam shocked the nation on Love Island by hooking up with four of the show’s female contestants, including tattooed beauty Darylle Sargeant, who he coupled up with after Zara, 21, left the villa.

Darylle, 24, has since started dating TV favourite Jake Quickenden after his split from fiancée Danielle Fogarty, 26, in April.

But Adam made a jibe at his ex’s new man by claiming he’d never heard of Jake, 29, who has appeared on The X Factor, finished runner-up on I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! and earlier this year won ITV’s comeback series of Dancing on Ice.

He said: “I don't actually know who Jake Quick? Quickenden? I don't actually know who he is.

“But I'm happy for Darylle. She's been very supportive of me and Zara.”

Adam also hit out at Love Island bosses for portraying him as a “pantomime villain”.

Speaking at the launch of Thorpe Park’s Love Island Lates, he said: “Everybody comes up to me and says, 'Oh my God I didn’t expect you to be nice'.

“Everyone watching the episodes has seen a trailer to the Adam Collard film, they haven’t seen the full film.

"I can be the pantomime villain and I was portrayed as the pantomime villain, but I’m not worried.

“A lot of people support me massively - there is the odd few that are waiting on me to mess it up with Zara, but that’s not going to happen.”

Love Island Lates is exclusively at Thorpe Park Resort on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights until 1st September from 6pm-10pm. Visit www.thorpepark.com for tickets
