But in tonight’s episode, Adam reveals how he almost backed out of participating, after a difficult few months in his personal life.

Speaking to the Special Forces staff on the show, an emotional Adam explains how he was diagnosed with depression.

He struggles to get his words out before saying: “One of them was with my partner…and…we, erm lost something…when it was really close to getting there a second time and telling everyone.”

As the tears fall, the staff clarify that he’s talking about a miscarriage and Adam nods.

He adds: “I think I was proud of the fact that I was excited for it, which I didn’t think I ever would be.

“And when it got taken away, and it was 10 times worse for her, I think it hit us like a tonne of bricks.

“We just really, really went to a bit of a bad place. And to be honest, in front of her I pretended I was cool, and pretended I was absolutely fine.”

Later in the episode, the tears flow again as the celebrities are tasked with reading out their ‘death letters’, which they were asked to write to their loved ones.

As Adam stands up to read his out, he pays tribute to Laura and how much he is thinking of her, before saying: “The last few months have been really tough, but nowhere near as tough as you.

Adam continues to read: “We lost a baby recently” but then starts to sob, as his co-stars look just as emotional, not knowing what he had been through until that moment.

He says: “I wish I had one more night to give you the world’s biggest cuddle. Love you always, Adam.”

Conor Benn then goes over to give Adam a cuddle, who sheds more tears as he is consoled over his loss.

In a piece to camera, Adam praised Laura, saying: “I’d say I’m pretty closed off as a person and she definitely helped me to open up.”

Despite their baby heartbreak, the couple – who got together in 2023 and became engaged in September last year – welcomed son Leo in January this year.

Laura Woods is one of the most recognisable faces on TV when it comes to football presenting

The Women’s Euro 2025 has officially kicked off, with an exciting tournament expected as the Lionesses strive to retain their European Champions title.

Wales have also made their first appearance in the competition, having qualified for the first time.

The tournament got underway on Wednesday, July 2, at the Arena Thun stadium and will host 34 matches before a champion is crowned.

England and Wales will join 14 other nations in the quest to lift the trophy on July 27.

The final will be held at St Jakob-Park stadium in Basel, Switzerland, conveniently located near the Eurovision final venue.

ITV has announced Laura Woods as part of its punditry team, following her successful stint covering major sporting events on the channel.

The 36 year old, originally from Dagenham in London, is also well-known for hosting talkSPORT’s breakfast show, where she formed a brilliant partnership with co-presenter Ally McCoist, reports Lancs Live.

Laura commanded the 6am-10am breakfast slot on talkSPORT for three years, during which she garnered several awards, including the esteemed ARIAS Best Speech Breakfast Show and the SJA Sports Presenter of the Year twice.

In July 2023, Laura revealed she was leaving talkSPORT to take up the role of lead presenter for TNT Sports’ Champions League and boxing coverage. She also covered the Olympics and some Premier League matches.

Laura embarked on her television career in 2009, beginning as a runner at Sky Sports before working her way through numerous positions within sports broadcasting.

She has now established herself as one of the most familiar figures in English football presentation, progressing through the ranks at Sky Sports to secure prominent roles as both presenter and touchline reporter for their Premier League coverage.

Laura’s expertise eventually led her beyond Sky Sports as demand for her presenting talents grew. She joined DAZN to front Women’s Champions League and Matchroom boxing coverage, whilst also spearheading ITV’s Women’s World Cup presentation.

Despite her passionate Arsenal allegiance, Laura was drawn to TNT Sports’ fan-focused philosophy.

Discussing her excitement about the position, she revealed: “I think the thing that sold me the most was they want to be near the fans, they want to be by the fans. And I think for me as a presenter, what I’ve really enjoyed is that rough and ready presenting. Going to the ground, being amongst the fans – it’s different, isn’t it? You can’t replicate it in a studio.”

Laura’s family life

Away from the cameras, Laura and former Love Island star Adam Collard welcomed their first child together, son Leo Ernie Collard, in January 2025.

The pair went public with their romance in October 2023 before becoming engaged twelve months later in St Ives, Cornwall – described as the “place they fell in love”.

Last summer, Laura made the personal choice to keep her pregnancy under wraps while covering Euro 2024 for ITV, despite being in the know.

Speaking to The Times, she confessed: “It was constant, the morning sickness was quite difficult to battle and I was exhausted all the time.

“It didn’t matter how much sleep you actually got, you’d still be knackered. At least there were rest days when I was able to just chill out in my [hotel] room.

“I would have liked to keep it quiet for a little bit longer but I really felt like I couldn’t any more and now I’ve done it it’s a relief.”

Laura Woods’ rugby ex

Before finding love with her current partner Adam, Laura had a long-standing relationship with Alex Corbisiero, an ex-England rugby star known for his participation in the triumphant 2013 Lions tour of Australia.

The duo ended their eight-year romance, with Laura indicating that they were too close for comfort, leading to her decision to part ways.

Alex, who has celebrated Premiership glory, bravely battled testicular cancer diagnosed in 2019 and joyfully shared his two-year cancer-free milestone on social media in 2022.

He is currently imparting his expertise as a scrum coach for San Diego Legion and contributes to rugby broadcasting stateside.
