Love Island’s Zara McDermott has publicly implored her ex Adam Collard to stop ‘liking’ derogatory comments about her on Instagram

The ex-couple found love on the 2018 series of Love Island, but endured a very public split in February after Adam spent the night at a hotel with two mystery women, before dumping Zara via text.

And things only turned nastier after Adam posted a picture of himself heading off on the holiday the couple were due to enjoy together, showing him pointing to an empty chair on the plane and commenting sarcastically, “Maldives here we come”.

Now Zara has asked Adam to stop ‘liking’ nasty comments about her from his followers – particularly ones comparing her to Adam’s new squeeze Andrea Belver.

Taking to his social media to broadcast yet another holiday – this time to the Caribbean with Instagram model Andrea – Adam's followers took to the comments to draw unnecessary comparisons, before Zara put her foot down.
