Witnesses claim Adam seemed to just want to enjoy a night out with friends and the mob unnecessarily attacked him.

Adam’s representatives have admitted the incident left Adam and his friends feeling “shaken up”.

A spokesperson said: “Despite several attempts to diffuse the situation, the men continued to become more aggressive and started physically attacking Adam.

“Understandably, Adam and his friends were extremely shaken up by the situation and felt it was best to leave and we’re safely escorted by the security team outside. No further action has been taken.”

Despite finding fame on ITV’s Love Island, Adam has revealed that he will be returning to his job as a personal trainer and Paige will be going back to being a paramedic.

Speaking to ITV’s Lorraine about her future, Paige said: “It’s one of those things, I genuinely just love my job so why wouldn’t I want to go back to it?

“I really enjoyed it but I’ll have other things alongside it.”
