Adam Collard has had his ex-girlfriend's initials tattooed and an ink on his ring finger removed after calling his girlfriend Laura Woods “The One.”
The Love Island star, 28, has sparked speculation that his romance with the sports presenter, 36, could be taking the next step after he visited the NAAMA tattoo removal studio in London last week.
Adam had his ex-girlfriend Claudia Proctor's initials removed from a triangular mark on his forearm that had been blackened after their split.
The Lothario began dating Claudia in July 2017, a year before his first foray into the Love Island villa.
The personal trainer bragged about his new tattoo on Instagram at the time, showing off the initials “CP” above his wrist – just months before dumping the business graduate over her “insecurities about his large Instagram following.”

Adam later had the initials completely covered up with black ink until he went to the tattoo parlor on Great Portland Street to have the tattoo completely removed and have a symbol tattooed on his ring finger.
This comes after Adam declared Laura “the one” in October and revealed his intention to “get married and have children” with the TNT sports presenter.
He explained: “I'm protective, whether it's Laura, my family, my friends.”
'I want to marry. I also want to have children. I always thought: What kind of person will I be? How can I protect my children?
“Of course I've never had a child, but I don't think I'm going to hide it all.” [social media]. I want them to have a fair fight and a chance to not be judged right away.
“As long as my really close circle knows exactly who I am, I don't care. I think you have to take everything with a pinch of salt.”
Adam added that he wasn't worried about the eight-year age gap between him and Laura, saying: “We're not necessarily your average everyday couple.”
“We both do a lot and I think I was always beyond my years anyway. I think it’s probably just everything I’ve needed in a long time.”
Adam went on to talk about his ex-girlfriend Zara McDermott and how he dedicated a “Z” tattoo on his hand to her.
After they broke up, he quickly covered things up, but didn't rule out getting his current partner another tattoo.

It comes after Adam discussed his plans for the future with Laura, in which he said he wanted to get married and have children
He said: “I came out of the villa and Zara had 'AC' on her finger.” I thought I would return the favor considering I had stayed in the villa for 12 days longer.
“I’ve got it under control though – it’s the second time I’ve done it and I’ll probably do it again.”
