Adam Collard revealed his fiancée Laura Woods previously suffered a miscarriage and said he blames the tragedy on his ‘bad karma from his love rat past.’
Laura was 11 weeks pregnant when she miscarried and fell pregnant again a month later, with the couple delightedly welcoming a son in January called Leo.
Adam, 29, first appeared on Love Island back in 2018 before returning to the show in 2022 and enjoying a stint on Celebs Go Dating.
He will now be put through his paces on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins as he is put to the test in a number of gruelling Special Forces challenges.
Due to his dating show history, ‘jumping from girl to girl’ and ‘upsetting too many people,’ Adam believes the tragic loss was a consequence for his bad behaviour.
Speaking on the show, which is set to air on Sunday, he admitted: ‘I know it’s a terrible way to look at it, but I felt like it was bad karma for me being on dating shows and upsetting too many people.
‘I felt like that was some high power’s way of being like, ‘Well, there you go, that’s what you have to carry’.
Adam added: ‘I was just a cocky little p***k, being a love rat jumping from girl to girl. I want to show I’m not that man any more.’
Explaining his reasons for joining the cast, he said: ‘On a personal level, I wanted to test myself mentally.
‘I had a lot of stuff going on before I went on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, and I’ve got to be honest but credit to the show, I actually think it had the most positive impact on my mental health.’
Laura and Adam began dating in October 2023 and announced that they were expecting their first child in 2024 and their son Leo was born in January 2025.
Their relationship came a year after Adam famously returned to Love Island in 2022 in a bid to meet his dream woman.
He previously caused chaos on the show in 2018 when he coupled up with four different women – Kendall, Rosie, Zara, and Darylle.
While he ultimately went on to have a relationship with the now Strictly Come Dancing star Zara McDermott, they split after seven months together.
In 2022, he once again found himself a girlfriend on the show, Paige Thorne, but their romance was short-lived and they quickly split after leaving the show.
Paige later accused Adam of cheating and he admitted that he used her to enjoy a longer stint on Love Island, stating he ‘completely chose the right person to stay on the show’.
Adam went on to date Kate Moss’s sister Lottie Moss after they were set up on Celebs Go Dating, but the romance ended after a month.
This was reportedly the result of Adam sleeping with another woman after he had been intimate with Lottie.
She said at the time: ‘I hope he finds happiness – deep down in that cold shell of a soul.’
Adam’s relationship with Laura has been much more successful from the get-go, with the former reality star describing the presenter as ‘the one’.
The official line-up of the upcoming series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins includes an S Club 7 singer, Premier League footballers and a woman dubbed the ‘most hated in Britian’.
Series seven of the much-loved Channel 4 show will return to our screens on August 3 2025.
Fans will be treated to eight one-hour episodes every Sunday and Monday, which will see a group of 14 famous faces take on a ‘gruelling phase of the Special Forces selection’.
Chief instructor Billy Billingham and his team Jason Fox, Rudy Reyes and Chris Oliver will also be returning to our screens to put the celebrities through it.
