Laura Woods looks blissfully happy as he enjoys holiday with fiancé Adam Collard and baby son Leo

Daily Mail​3 hours ago

Laura Woods looked happier than ever on holiday with her fiancé Adam Collard and their baby son Leo.
The sports presenter, 37, and fitness coach, 29, who rose to fame in 2018 as a lothario on Love Island, could be seen snuggling up to their son, who was born in January.
Adam smiled widely as he posed with his son in the pool, with the tot looking extremely relaxed in a baby float with its own sun protector.
The pair wore sunglasses and baby Leo was given even more protection from the heat with an adorable hat.
The family looked like they were having a lot of fun in a series of images shared to Instagram by Laura on Monday.
Another snap sees the new mum smiling open-mouthed as she holds her baby in the air, with Leo appearing to squeal in delight.
The tot looked just as happy as he was held up by his dad while wearing large, ear-protecting headphones.
Laura recently praised Adam's parenting skills in a sweet Father's Day post.
She wrote: 'Happy 1st Father's Day to this absolute DILF. Dad of The Year, no task too big or baby apparatus instructions too complicated.
'The way you and this little boy adore each other made me realise what it's all about. Thanks for making my life.'
Laura and Adam began dating in October 2023 and announced that they were expecting their first child in July 2024.
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'.

Nettle Eating: World Championships returns to Bottle Inn

The Stinging Nettle Eating World Championships has been revived at a Dorset pub, with the winner chomping through leaves on 74ft (22.5m) on nettle stems. The bizarre but popular event returned to the newly renovated Bottle Inn in Marshwood, Dorset, on Saturday, after a six-year hour-long competition involves eating the leaves from 2ft lengths of stinging nettles before the empty stalks are counted. Michael Hobbs was proclaimed men's champion while first-time entrant Lucy Dimody won the women's competition, munching her way through 68ft (21m). Tessa and Julian Blundy, who have been renovating the 16th-Century pub, restarted the competition, with entrants restricted to 40 Bottle Inn first hosted its nettle eating contest in 1986 and the tradition almost died out when the pub closed in 2022, it was revived by Dorset Nectar Cider Farm, which ran it for three years while the Bottle Inn was closed. This year's event also saw a nettle-growing competition, won by Jamie Giles who produced a 8ft 8in (2.6m) stem. Mr Giles, a landscape gardener, said he had a patch of nettles in his garden of "prestigious length""We're blessed to live in one of the most beautiful parts of Dorset with clay-based soil and lots of sun."He described the return of the championship to its original home as "a great comeback story"."Its a great local endeavour and a great event for Marshwood. A really fun event which the whole village got behind." You can follow BBC Dorset on Facebook, X (Twitter), or Instagram.

Jersey Opera House's new chair rejects 'poison chalice' concern

Jersey Opera House's interim chairperson says she does not see the role as a "poisoned chalice" after becoming the third person to take it on in Robertson took on the position at the St Helier venue on Thursday, 24 hours after the resignation of Cyril Whelan, who stepped down two months after taking over from Dave venue - which has undergone a £13m renovation - has also been dealing with other resignations, with interim director Andy Eagle stepping down in April and Bruno Santos-Costa also leaving his role as a board Robertson said all the resignations were due to personal reasons and a lot of hard work was ongoing to get an exciting programme on at the venue. The Grade II listed held its first concerts in five years in May, with two Liberation Day concerts ahead of the official reopening, which is expected to take place in October. Ms Robertson said she was "desperate" to get a strong programme of shows and looking forward to being the interim said: "I'm certainly not personally viewing the job as a poisoned chalice."Why I joined the board in the first place 18 months ago is because the building is the first real experience I had of theatre as a kid."When Cyril chose to leave for his own personal reasons, having been on the board for 13 years, which is an amazing stint, I really wanted to help push us into the new, exciting chapter for the opera house and get the community back in there." Ms Robertson said the venue was facing some technical challenges ahead of its reopening, but its managing board was facing those head added the venue was committed to making sure it had everything it needed to provide an exciting programme of shows."We'll be making some technical upgrades to things like lighting and sound in very short order so we can keep delivering what the public would like," she said.
