Sports presenter Laura Woods was at the centre of concern earlier today after appearing to faint live on air during ITV's football coverage. The incident occurred during the broadcast of the England versus Ghana match, prompting immediate action from the production team.
Adam Collard's Reassuring Health Update
Shortly after the alarming broadcast, her fiancé, Love Island star Adam Collard, took to social media to reassure fans. He posted an update confirming that Laura was receiving appropriate care. "Laura is all OK and with the right people. Thank you for all of your kind messages," he wrote, putting to rest widespread worry about her condition.
During the live broadcast, fellow presenter Katie Shanahan stepped in seamlessly to continue the coverage after Laura's sudden collapse. The swift response from the ITV team ensured the programme continued without major disruption.
From Instagram DM to Engagement: A Modern Love Story
The couple's relationship began in a distinctly modern fashion. Adam Collard, who first found fame on the 2018 series of Love Island and returned for a second stint in 2022, initiated contact by sending Laura a direct message on Instagram in 2023. Their romance blossomed quickly thereafter.
Their relationship has since progressed through several significant milestones:
- January 2025: The couple welcomed their first child, a son named Leo.
- September 2024: Adam proposed to Laura during a romantic trip to Cornwall, specifically at Carbis Bay Estate.
Sharing her joy at the engagement on Instagram at the time, Laura wrote: "And just like that…you make me happy @adamcollard. Thank you @carbisbayestate – the place we fell in love and now the place we got engaged, you made it so special. What a summer x."
Wedding Plans Temporarily on Hold
While eagerly looking forward to their future, the couple have had to adjust their wedding timeline. In an interview with The Mirror in August 2025, Adam revealed that their original plans were delayed following a house move. "We’d started to plan [the wedding] but now we’ve moved house we’re going to do it nearer our new place," he explained.
He confirmed the event is now slated for 2026, noting, "It’s on the back burner at the moment, but it’s going to be a 2026 wedding." This pause in planning highlights the practical realities of balancing a growing family, career demands, and a major life celebration.
The incident today has shone a spotlight not only on Laura Woods's health but also on the strong support system she has in her partner, Adam Collard, and their young family. Fans and colleagues alike will be wishing the popular presenter a swift and full recovery.
