As much as we've loved the glittering line-up that has made up the first Love Island: All Stars, we have also been wondering why zero series 2 Islanders have sauntered into the villa – well, until Adam Maxted entered the ring (which is funny because he is a wrestler), that is.
Love Island series 2 – won by Cara Delahoyde-Massey and Nathan Massey (who are still together and married with kids) – was arguably the most wonderfully chaotic, wild and organic chapter of this ten-year ITV love story, and as such, it will always be one of our faves here at heatworld. In fact, it's a fan fave, so why it's taken four weeks for producers to serve up a single 2016 Islander, we have no idea. Nevertheless, better late than never – they were starting to run out of Love Island 2020 stars anyway.
Back to series 2 star, Adam Maxted...
2024 Adam is sporting a rather sexy buzzcut in lieu of his trademark gelled 2016 spikes (in addition to some facial hair), but did you know that the bombshell also had a bleach blond era in between these two hair eras?
Most brunette Isander boys go through some sort of bleach blond hair transformation during their fame journey – looking at you Joe Garrett and Adam Collard – but we have to say, Adam's M's blond hair really does transform him into a totally different Islander. If it weren't for the muscles, tattoos and tight wrestling pants, we simply wouldn't recognise him.
Phwoar.
The 31-year-old Belfast beefcake was sporting bleach blond locks towards the end of 2022/start of 2023.
After finding these pics, we're a little bit gutted he didn't keep the hair colour going an extra year so he could match with our Arabella Chi inside the Love Island: All Stars villa, but who are we kidding? These two would look good together if they were wrapped up in bin bags with just peepholes for their eyes.
