For the moment, the specific reasons and motivations behind the altercation remain unclear. It was earlier reported that the altercation came about due to a disagreement over the ownership of a cottage on land which Adam’s father owns.

The report claims that Adam is the registered owner, however, William challenged the ownership. This disagreement which allegedly led to an escalation between the two, resulting in Adam being physically assaulted.

The escalation turned violent, with Adam being supposedly being left with “reddening” on his neck following the altercation which took place in Newcastle last year.

Since Adam’s last stint in the Love Island villa back in 2022, he has maintained a largely peaceful and unproblematic life.

While his coaching business and engagement to ITV presenter Laura Woods has kept Adam somewhat in the public eye, he has faced little scandal or drama. Adam and Laura welcomed their first child together, Leo, in January 2025 and have announced that they are expecting a second child, due sometime this year.

The altercation between him and his father is the first time Adam has appeared in the headlines since his Love Island days.
