Love Island star Adam Collard is open to a stint in the Australian jungle.

The reality TV star made a return to the hit ITV dating show last summer, four years after his 2018 villa experience.

Talking exclusively to Digital Spy at Best's Heroes Awards last week (October 18), Adam revealed what reality shows he'd consider signing up for in the future.

"I would love to do I’m a Celebrity because of the physicalness," he tells us. "Also I’d like to do something with people where I wasn’t being pushed to date people. A bit of a change - I would like that to not be my thing anymore.

"I’d also do Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins," he continued. "Again, because of what I do for work. I think the physical challenges in the tests would be right up my street."

Adam revealed that he'd up for most bush tucker trials on the hit ITV jungle show, but there is one challenge he's wary of.

"The eating thing and being underwater and in coffins, I honestly think I could get through it," he tells us. "The worst one for me would be jumping out the plane at the start. It’s heights for me. But everything else I think I'd be alright with."

He added: "And I’d hate being hungry, I’m very much not a nice person when I’m hungry."

The reality TV star also told Digital Spy which former Islanders he wouldn't mind sharing the camp with.

"Eyal [Booker] would be class because he’s so animal and jungle obsessed," he said. "I can imagine him just knowing stuff too. He’d know how to make fires and stuff like that.

"Or Jack Fincham would just be making us laugh 24/7. I’m always a little bit biased with him."

Eyal is himself making a return to Love Island next month in the global spin-off Love Island Games. Other ex-Islanders appearing in the Peacock series are fellow season 4 stars Megan Barton Hanson, Jack Fowler and Georgia Steel, plus season 5's Curtis Pritchard, season 6's Mike Boateng and season 7's Liberty Poole and Toby Aromolaran.

Also in attendance at Best's Heroes Awards, Toby revealed what viewers can expect from the show.

"It’s not normal Love Island," he tells Digital Spy. "It’s Love Island on steroids. The games side of it, there’s passion, blood, sweat and tears and everything."

Love Island Games begins streaming on Peacock from November 1.

More information about the Best Heroes and their inspiring stories will be available to read in the next issue of Best magazine, on sale November 7.

Love Island airs on ITV2 and streams on ITVX. Love Island Games will begin streaming on Peacock on November 1.
