Love Island star Adam Collard’s incredible transformation has been highlighted by a viral picture, which reportedly shows the reality star as a teenager.

The 22-year-old made waves as he entered the villa on Monday evening - after the contestants had already coupled up – and chose to steal Kendall Rae-Knight.

The personal trainer has already caused quite a stir with his physique on social media, with his Instagram page full of clips and snaps of him working out.

A newly-emerged picture appears to show Adam as a teenager in the kit for his local football team and has started circulating on social media, showing the change over time.

Fans of the show have also realised that the Geordie native has made a brief cameo on reality television before, having cosied up to both Charlotte Crosby and Chloe Ferry on Geordie Shore.

Adam can be seen in footage from the MTV show back in 2016 when Crosby, Ferry and pal Holly Hagan were out in a club.

Before he entered Love Island, Adam claimed that he had been offered to join the show on a full-time basis but turned down the approach.

However, former Geordie Shore regular Marnie Simpson dismissed the claims and said that Adam had auditioned for the show before but had never made the cut.

Love Island continues Thursday at 9pm on ITV2.
