Love Island's Adam Collard confirms romance with TV host Laura Woods
Adam has posted a cosy photo of the pair together
Following the break-down of his romance with Celebs Go Dating co-star Lottie Moss, Love Island lothario Adam Collard has now moved on with a very familiar face, in the form of TV and Radio presenter Laura Woods!
After both Adam and Laura teased fans last week, 27-year-old Adam has now confirmed the new romance, sharing a cosy photo alongside 36-year-old Laura to his Instagram Story. In the black and white photo, Laura could be seen kissing Adam on the cheek as the pair cuddled in bed. He wrote: 'Alright x'.
TNT Sports presenter Laura teased fans last week, giving fans a glimpse of Adam in a video on social media.
Although Laura didn't mention Adam in the upload, the video showed Laura and a mystery male enjoying a romantic trip in St Ives, Cornwall, with the popular TV host telling fans: 'Oooofttt… @carbisbayestate that was really a very special stay, thank you ✨ (Not an Ad just loved it that much) Cornwall in October might just be my new favourite thing ❤️'. (sic)
Eagle-eyed fans were quick to notice glimpses of Adam in the video, with a clip of him walking on the beach, and another more intimate clip of Laura jumping on his back with a huge smile on her face.
The pair were in the same place again on Wednesday (4th October) night. Whilst Laura was working alongside Rio Ferdinand and Shay Given at St James' Park in Newcastle for TNT Sports, Adam was in the crowd supporting his beloved Newcastle United, as the team played their first home game in Champions League for the first time in 20 years.
After seeing Laura's video last week, fans were quick to comment. One wrote: 'Fair play Adam Collard, fair play 🤣', with another adding: 'Wasn't @adamcollard just there too lol 👀😂'. (sic)
A third wrote: 'Wee romantic getaway with the new fella lucky lucky guy', with a fourth adding: 'Is this ya new fella?'. Another cheekily commented: 'How is Adam ? 😀'.
As reality TV fans will know, Adam is no stranger to dating shows! As well as making his debut during series four of Love Island back in 2018, he made history last year by becoming the first Islander to return to the show, when he took part in series eight.
Despite leaving the villa with co-star Paige Thorne, the pair split up just months later, after Paramedic Paige accused him of 'cheating', with Adam later signing up to appear on series 12 of Celebs Go Dating.
Although he failed to make a connection with any of his dates, he did go on to briefly date super model Lottie Moss, and he's also heavily rumoured to take part in Love Island: All Stars, which is due to air in 2024.
Check out the full rumoured cast below:
Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu - Series 8
Following her split from Love Island boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti at the end of January 2024, fans are now begging bosses to fly Ekin-Su over to the All Stars villa to become the ultimate bombshell. And it appears their wishes may be coming true, as in December 2024 the MailOnline said it can reveal she's 'signed up' for the series.
Gemma Owen - Series 8
Gemma appeared on the eighth series of Love Island, finishing in second place alongside Luca Bish. Although they left as a couple, the pair split in November of the same year, and now rumours are rife bosses want to sign Gemma up for the All Stars series.
Jon Clark - Series 1
Essex born Jon appeared on the first ever series of Love Island back in 2015, entering the villa on Day One and making it all the way to the final. Jon was coupled up with Hannah Elizabeth throughout the series, with the pair finishing the show as runners-up, but they split nine months later.
Although Jon went on to appear on TOWIE and date the likes of Chloe Crowhurst and Chloe Ferry, it looks like he's now single.
Chris Hughes - Series 3
Chris Hughes was one of the stand-out Islanders during the third series in 2017, with his hilarious personality and of course, his raps. After entering the villa on Day Four, Chris coupled up with Olivia Attwood, with the pair making it to the final and finishing in third place.
As fans will know, Chris and Olivia split just months after leaving the show, with Olivia going back to her ex-boyfriend Bradley Dack, whom she is now married to. Meanwhile, although Chris has dated a number of women including Little Mix star Jesy Nelson and golfer Annabel Dimmock, it appears he is now back on the market.
Kem Cetinay - Series 3
Of course, if Chris was to return to the show, it wouldn't be right for him to enter without Love Island BFF Kem Cetinay. Although the boys aren't as close as they once were, Chris and Kem are just what the All Stars series needs!
Scott Thomas - Series 2
If Kady was to return, we are sure fans would like to see her reunite with former flame Scott Thomas! Scott entered the Love Island villa during series two on Day One, before making it all the way to final and finishing in third place alongside Kady.
Although Scott and Kady moved in together after the show, the pair split in August 2017, with both going on to date other people. However, now it looks like they are both single, could a reunion be on the cards?!
Kaz Crossley - Series 4
Despite being a Casa Amor bombshell, Kaz Crossley certainly brought the drama to series four, coupling up with Josh Denzel and finishing in third place. After realising they weren't meant to be, the pair announced their split after six months together.
Although Kaz went on to date other men, it looks like the model is currently single.
Ovie Soko - Series 5
You can't have a Love Island All Stars without the legend that is Ovie Soko surely?! Although he entered series five at the half-way stage during Casa Amor, Ovie quickly became a fan favourite with his 'cool guy' personality. Ovie coupled up with India Reynolds, with the pair going on to finish in third place.
Ovie and India split just months later in October 2019, and it appears the basketball player is still single.
Anna Vakili - Series 5
Another Islander we'd love to see return from series five is Anna Vakili! After entering in 2019 on Day One, Anna coupled up with the likes of Sherif Lanre, Ovie Soko and Jordan Hames, and who can forget THAT Casa Amor drama between her and Jordan?!
Shaughna Phillips - Series 6
Shaughna Phillips was an original Islander for the first ever Winter Love Island in 2020, entering on Day One and coupling up with Callum Jones. However, after bombshell Molly Smith entered during Casa Amor, Shaughna was left single and dumped from the villa.
Shaughna welcomed her first child into the world earlier in 2023, but during an interview on the red carpet at the National Television Awards in September last year, it sounded like she was full up for returning to the show, even admitting she'd like to couple up with Jack Fincham!
Chloe Burrows - Series 7
Chloe Burrows has become one of the most successful stars from the seventh series, going on to appear on various TV shows and landing podcast and TV show Chloe vs The World.
However, despite her career success, Chloe is currently single following her split from Love Island co-star Toby Aromolaran, so could she sign up for a return to the villa?
Teddy Soares - Series 7
After entering the series seven villa as a bombshell on Day 12, Teddy Soares stole the heart of Faye Winters, with the pair making it to the final and finishing in third place.
After almost two years of dating, the pair split earlier in 2023, so will Teddy attempt to find love again during the All Stars series?
Paige Thorne - Series 8
Paramedic Paige Thorne certainly had a dramatic stint in the villa during series 8, coupling up with Jacques O'Neill, Jay Younger and returning Islander Adam Collard. After leaving the show with Adam as her boyfriend, the pair later split when she accused the Geordie lad of 'cheating' on her.
Despite some reports that she'd reconnected with Jacques following the split, Paige is single, with many fans urging her to return to the All Stars series.
Jacques O'Neill - Series 8
Many Love Island fans are also keen to see rugby player Jacques O'Neill take part in the All Stars version, after he made the tough decision to quit the show in 2022 following the break down of his relationship with Paige.
Luca Bish - Series 8
Fishmonger Luca Bish was certainly a marmite Islander with viewers in the early stages, but after declaring his love for Michael Owen's daughter Gemma Owen, the pair went on to finish the series in second place!
Things seemed to be going well back in the UK for the pair, but a few months later the pair announced their split. With Gemma also rumoured, could we see a reunion?
Olivia Hawkins - Series 9
After causing serious drama during the 2023 Winter series, Olivia Hawkins eventually left the show with Casa Amor bombshell Maxwell Samuda, with the pair calling quits on their romance not long after returning to the UK.
Olivia has since stated how much of a fan of the show she is, landing a magazine column for series 10, so will she make a comeback for the All Stars series?
However, now it seems Adam is all loved-up again!
