Laura Woods and Adam Collard announce pregnancy with first child together

Sports presenter Laura Woods and reality TV lothario Adam Collard have announced that they are expecting their first child together.

Laura, 37, and Adam, 28, seemed like an unusual cross over between the world of sports and reality TV when they first announced their romance last year, thanks to Adam's track record on Love Island and Celebs Go Dating.

However, the couple are now looking forward to welcoming a bundle of joy into their family.

The pair announced their happy news via a joint post on Instagram, sharing an image of an ultrasound with their dog peeking out from behind.

"Hey, baby," the caption read.

The couple have since turned off comments on the post, however, the post has since received over 100,000 likes from fans. Adam has also reposted the image to his story.

Laura and Adam first went public with their romance in October last year, with the Love Island star revealing exactly how he was able to secure a date with the ITV and TNT Sports presenter in an interview with the The Sun.

It turns out their romance started in the place where all great love stories begin - in Laura's Instagram DMs.

"The first time we met – I’ll hold my hands up – I did DM her first and got a reply but then nothing ever happened," Adam explained.

"Then she called us out for basically leaving her on read."

He added: "It’s hard to meet people, isn’t it? I’m from Newcastle and eventually we met up, and then went on a very undercover date, and obviously what comes out in the press, comes out in the press, but it’s not always the full story.

"I’m kind of glad in a way as well, as I feel like there’s an element of having to hide too much now."

Despite keeping their romance on the down-low in the first few months, the couple have since become a little more open about their relationship and now regularly share photos of each other on social media.

Adam has made no secret of his feelings for Laura either, revealing last December that he believed the former talkSPORT host was his 'soulmate'.

"For someone who has the reputation of playing the most games (because of Love Island), I’m honestly heart on my sleeve and I can’t fake anything," he told SafeBettingSites.com.

"If something’s wrong with me, you know about it. But Laura, she is the real deal. And I’m taking it easy."
