The Sun revealed last week that the couple were fighting to save their romance after Zara blasted Adam for boozing until the early hours with Brittany and Love Island co-stars Sam and Jack, who admitted to taking drugs on the night.
Adam had gone back to his hometown of Newcastle to give them time to think about their future.
A source said at the time: “Zara wasn’t happy after discovering Adam was out with the group that included Brittany.
“As a girlfriend it isn't always comfortable to see your partner partying with other women you don’t know.
“They ended up having a big argument over Adam’s antics and he’s since gone home to give them some space."
