Love Island's reformed villain Adam Collard gives his verdict on this year's 'toxic masculinity' row as he admits his own desire for fame 'came at the expense of other people
Love Island's reformed villain Adam Collard has issued his verdict on this year's 'toxic masculinity' row as he admitted his own desire for fame 'came at the expense of other people'. The Celebrity SAS star, 29, who has since welcomed his first child and got engaged to sports presenter Laura Woods, earned a reputation as a Lothario during his stint on the 2018 series and later returned for the 2022 series. He received criticism for his partner-swapping on the show and has since been blasted by his ex-girlfriends for his alleged 'toxic behaviour'. And now, Adam has shared his thoughts on the behaviour of men on Love Island after fans slammed this year's male stars for their toxicity - with allegations of 'manipulation, gaslighting and disrespect'. Adam went on to discuss his own behaviour, as he admitted to the Daily Mail: 'I was young, and I had just come out of a relationship. And obviously, you're very, very influenced when you're in there by fame and different sort of things. 'Sometimes it can come at the expense of other people.' On this year's show, contestants Dejon Noel Williams, Harry Cooksley, Ben Holbrough and Harrison Solomon all came under fire for their treatment of prospective partners. The most prevalent criticism of the stars has been gaslighting - particularly Harry's claims he 'cannot remember' a number of his conversations. Sharing his thoughts, Adam revealed that he thought Harry's behaviour only became out of order when he made things exclusive with Helena Ford - before confessing his feelings for Shakira Khan mere days later. Adam said: '[Harry] was with Helena and now he is with Shakira, right? There's nothing wrong with what he did from switching from Helen to Shakira, if he didn't say we're exclusive. 'I think that's the key difference from what I did - and I'm not trying to say I'm right and he's wrong by any means - for me, I think I kind of said I did like one girl and then I was honest enough to say... like I never went exclusively for anyone, and I think that's the key difference.' Adam, who is currently starring on the seventh series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, went on to share his theory on why the attitudes between the girls and boys is different. He said: 'You know how many times you meet people in real life where it's very exciting at the start, and then, like, a few weeks down the line, you think, "Oh, I don't know if this person's right for me". That happens in love island in three days, not three weeks or three months. 'You're almost like, speaking to them all day, every day, 24 hours. You find out very, very quickly. But it might look like some of the boys don't know what they're like in there - and girls are more mature than boys as a whole, they don't have a clue themselves.' Sharing his thoughts, Adam revealed that he thought Harry's behaviour only became out of order when he made things exclusive with Helena Ford (left) - before confessing his feelings for Shakira Khan (right) mere days later Love Island viewers flooded Twitter throughout the show's four week stint to criticise the male stars following shocking moments with their female cohorts. At the helm was Dejon, who was paired with Megan Moore from day one and was blasted for 'manipulating, lovebombing and gaslighting' his partner. Ben meanwhile was scolded by host Maya Jama for a scathing joke aimed at Toni Laites about her union with Harrison, leading to praise from viewers - many of whom lashed out at the stars of the show for their ways. Fans were keen to point out the issues facing the villa due to the behaviour of the male stars, with fans detailing how this year has seen serious problems. It comes after news of the release of a book detailing Dejon's alleged 'gaslighting and abuse'. The former semi-professional footballer and personal trainer, 26, came under fire in the villa for his treatment of now-girlfriend, with whom he failed to reach the final of the show earlier this month. Dejon is the subject of a book - entitled Surviving Dejon - penned by Niah Sienna, who is said to be his brother's sister and no blood relation to the star. In announcing news of her book, Niah said: 'Dejon is a narcissist, he's manipulative. I've been telling everyone this for the past 10 years now but no one believed me.' Following the announcement, Dejon took to Instagram to share a trio of images alongside a caption defending himself against the allegations. In his caption, Dejon penned: 'I've stayed quiet, but that doesn't mean it hasn't affected me. I hold my self accountable for my communication and everyday I'm growing as a person, so thank you for those who see the good in me... 'I'm not just a character on an entertainment reality tv show I'm also a human being with real emotions, some of the stuff I've seen said about me has been hard to deal with and they are the furthest thing from the truth... 'I questioned why people would do these things and it was getting me nowhere as I couldn't understand and is something I would never do to somebody else but what's kept me grounded is movement... 'Running, training, pushing myself when everything in my head feels heavy. It clears my mind, helps me breathe, reminds me of who I am outside of the noise. 'If you're struggling mentally, I get it. I really do. You don't have to have it all figured out just find that one thing that brings you back to yourself and take it one step at a time.'

'Isn't it funny how I wanna be brave but I'm terrified / to get myself dressed and go outside / I say I'm ok, I'm fine all jokes aside / but if I don't laugh I'll cry'. A fans rushed to the comments to show their support, Paloma, 44, who shares two daughters with her ex-partner Leyman Lahcine, said: 'Post partum depression is REALLLLLLLL took me 2 years after both! Hang the f**k in there honey'. The pop star, 34, took to Instagram on Friday with a tease of her powerful new track titled Depression, which she said was inspired by 'how she was feeling at the moment' Last month Anne-Marie revealed her head has been 'all over the place' over the last two years but thanked her family for getting herself through her mental struggles. The star revealed that she suffered from both post-natal depression and post-natal anxiety after the birth of Seven. Up to 1 in 5 women and 1 in 10 men develop mental health problems such as depression or anxiety during pregnancy, or in the first year after childbirth. In May Ann-Marie to Instagram to announce the arrival of her son as she gushed: 'Another beautiful little thing has entered our lives hello everyone'. She shared an adorable snap of the new born wrapped in a teddy bear printed blanket and matching hat. Anne-Marie also shared some behind the scene snaps from the labour as she posed on all fours as she showcased her baby bump in a white bralette and brown tracksuit bottoms. The star kept her hair out of her face as she pulled it back in eye catching red plaits while sharing her final pregnant selfie. Anne-Marie looked to have a comfortable stay in hospital as she also posted a clip of her meals which included burger and chips, soup, salmon and a chocolate cake. Last month Anne-Marie revealed her head has been 'all over the place' over the last two years but thanked her family for getting herself through her mental struggles Just weeks earlier she revealed she was expecting a baby boy as she enjoyed a baby shower with the Capital Breakfast team. The star, who even teased the name of her son, revealed she would be 'done' after her second baby as she will have both a girl and a boy. Chatting about her pregnancy, host Sian Welby asked: 'Do you know what you're having?' as Anne-Marie confirmed: 'Yeah'. Sian added: 'Oh Okay, we'll try not let you slip up then.' Yet the expectant mother didn't mind doing an unexpected gender reveal as she confirmed she was having a boy. 'That's so exciting!' added Sian as Chris Stark asked: 'So, one of each?' and Anne-Marie confirmed: 'I know and then I'm done.' Confirming she had picked a name, Sian asked: 'What is harder choosing a name for your children or your albums?' Anne-Marie explained: 'Probably choosing a name because Seven is so unique so we can't just call him Barry'. In 2020 Paloma bravely spoke about her own battle with postnatal depression and how she struggle to adapt to being a mother. The singer revealed that she had expected to take to motherhood 'like a duck to water' but the reality was a rude awakening. She told the Mirror: 'And then I had my baby and lots of things went wrong and I was sadder than I've ever been before and I felt broken, largely by the disappointment that I wasn't the mother that I thought I'd be.' The Picking Up the Pieces singer revealed that it took time for a bond to develop with her child, who she conceived via IVF with her partner Leyman Lahcine. She was so distressed that she began questioning whether she had given birth to another couple's baby fearing a mix up at the IVF clinic. Paloma said: 'I started emailing doctors saying, 'Is there any way you might have put the wrong embryo in me?' But now you can see it, our child exactly looks like us.' WHAT IS POSTNATAL DEPRESSION? Postnatal depression is a form of the mental-health condition that affects more than one in 10 women in the UK and US within a year of giving birth. As many men can be affected as women, research suggests. Many parents feel down, teary and anxious within the first two weeks of having a child, which is often called the 'baby blues'. But if symptoms start later or last longer, they may be suffering from postnatal depression. Postnatal depression is just as serious as others form of the mental-health disorder. Symptoms include: Persistent sadness Lack of enjoyment or interest in the wider world Fatigue Insomnia Struggling to bond with your baby Withdrawing from others Difficulty concentrating and making decisions Frightening thoughts, such as hurting your baby Sufferers should not wait for their symptoms to just go away. Instead they should recognise that it is not their fault they are depressed and it does not make them a bad parent. If you or your partner may be suffering, talk to your GP or health visitor. Treatments can include self-help, such as talking to loved ones, resting when you can and making time to do things you enjoy. Therapy may also be prescribed. In severe cases where other options have not helped, antidepressants may be recommended. Doctors will prescribe ones that are safe to take while breastfeeding. Postnatal depression's cause is unclear, however, it is more common in those with a history of mental-health problems. Lack of support from loved ones, a poor relationship with the partner and a life-changing event, such as bereavement, can also raise the risk.
