Adam Collard’s ex girlfriend Josie Baxter has spoken out following their pair’s break up and the former Love Islander’s explosive return to the show.
The Geordie became the first contestant to appear twice on the show when he entered as a bombshell earlier this week.
Until recently, it was believed he was in a relationship with Josie Baxter, but the duo split before the 26-year-old entered the villa.

Taking to Instagram, Josie, who’s believed to work in one of Adam’s Newcastle-based gyms, addressed the “very sensitive subject”.
She penned: “I have so far chosen not to speak out about my current situation.
“It is a very sensitive subject to me and not something I ever wanted to deal with in the public eye.

“I still have a strong friendship with Adam and his family and we still are working together and will continue to do so.”
Josie went on: “Misleading stories are being written which isn’t okay. Please respect that I don’t want to speak of this matter again.”
The pair are thought to have dated for two years, and share two bulldogs named Storm and Stella.
It’s believed they had even planned to buy a house together before Adam had a change of heart.

While the reality TV star says he split from Josie two months ago, pals of the former couple have claimed Adam only dumped his ex at the start of June – leaving the fitness babe devastated.
“I only really got out of a relationship like two months ago, just over that, but I sat on it for a while. I seem to get a nosebleed at like 18 months,” Adam confessed to his fellow Islanders earlier this week.
His on-screen comments reportedly didn’t go unnoticed by Josie.

A source close to Josie told The Sun: “As far as Josie was concerned they were serious, they were looking to buy a house together.
“Everything unravelled pretty quickly after Adam first spoke to Love Island at the end of April.
“It’s very awkward as they obviously both work together and so everyone at the gym knows what has been going on. Newcastle is a small place and people talk.”
