After sailing past the first round of Britain’s Got Talent, reports emerged claiming Adam had participated in gay porn film shoots as a 20-year-old.
However, Adam has since denied the reports to Express.co.uk, saying: “I did a one off solo photo shoot, 15 years ago when I was only 20.”
A source added: “Adam does not have a seedy ‘porn star’ past as being reported.
“He did one solo photo shoot 15 years ago, he is now 35 and has been focusing on his acting career ever since.”
This latest controversy comes after Adam was accused of “copying” his comedy act from veteran duo Raymond and Timpkins earlier this week.
Raymond posted on his Twitter account: “#BGT How clever of you all to put an act on that blatantly copies our set. The press will love this.
“#BGT Is it because we have consistently said ‘NO; to you??,” he continued.
Adam responded to the claims online, telling his fans: “Similar yes. the same no. Both use props n music, but both different. The edited TV version shows the only similar prop. No more drama thanks.”
He later continued: “I have never seen the Raymond and Mr Timpkins Revue act so I can honestly say I’ve not copied it.
“Only 40 seconds of my audition was shown and I have other props that weren’t letters or signs. My normal act is around 30 minutes long so unless people have seen both complete acts, I would not know if they are similar.
“When working abroad I put together a short act for a charity talent night using props as puns and taking the words in music literally. I was inspired by comedian Tim Vine who also uses props in his comedy,” he continued.
A BGT spokesperson commented on the drama, later insisted: “Adam auditioned for the show of his own accord so any suggestion we asked him to audition with a similar act is completely unfounded and incorrect.”
Britain’s Got Talent continues Saturday on ITV at 8pm.
