During his original stint in the villa, Adam, 26, coupled up with numerous girls, but ended up finding love with co-star Zara McDermott.
Zara, 25, was left lost for words when her former flame popped up on her screen as the bombshell a few weeks ago.
When asked about their reaction, Adam confessed that he wasn’t expecting a positive one, but hinted at a double date in the future.
Adam said: “I’ve got to be honest, I didn’t really expect it to be that plain sailing with their reaction.

“I’ve got to give credit to Zara. We had some really good times and I’ve got really good memories from the time we were together.
“It’ll be nice to break the ice – you never know we might end up meeting up with them.
“I think Sam’s definitely the right person for her and if they’re happy, I’m happy. I’m definitely happy here.”
After their stint on the programme, Adam moved down to London from his hometown of Newcastle to be with Zara.
