Adam Collard blames himself for fiancée Laura Woods' miscarriage as he says tragedy was 'bad karma for his love rat past' ahead of Celebrity SAS
The reality TV personality, 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 April 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.

Jess Wright always in 'doubt' over her success as she's compared to brother Mark
Former TOWIE star Jess Wright candidly admits to comparing her success to her famous brother Mark and her other siblings as she often doubts if she's 'doing well enough' Reality TV star Jess Wright has revealed that she constantly doubts her own success when comparing her career to that of her brother Mark Wright. Jess first shot to fame when she appeared on The Only Way Is Essex back in 2010 and has managed to secure a number of career successes since leaving the show the show. But due to the harsh nature of the TV industry, the star claims that she is constantly worrying if she is doing as well as her famous sibling, who co-hosts his Heart radio show alongside singer, Olly Murs. This comes after John Torode's wife Lisa Faulkner breaks her silence after his MasterChef sacking. In a recent interview, Jess said: "I'm quite driven by my family. Everyone is really ambitious and, obviously, Mark's really successful. Joshua is successful in what he does. Natalya's smashing it with her stuff. So you're always like: "God, am I doing enough?" I'm really hard on myself. I always think I'm not doing well enough." Opening up to The Sun in one of her most candid chats to date, she revealed that she often wakes up in the morning "thinking about my career." Having had a long stint within TV, Jess went on to say that she is aware of all the new faces that are coming through thanks to shows including Love Island. And TV bosses are always looking for the next big thing. But Jess is now set to join Jack Osbourne, Natalie Cassidy and Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu as they star in Cooking With The Stars, which is set to air later this evening. And while she is set to compete on a cooking show, it has also been reported that Mark, who recently became a father for the first time, is also rumoured to be appearing on Celebrity Bake Off. If the rumours are to be believed, Mark will join Molly-Mae Hague and JoJo Siwa. A source informed the publication: "Mark has had his hands full being a new dad but he found time to film for the new series of Celebrity Bake Off. It's a cause close to Mark's heart as it's all for the Stand Up Cancer charity and he is a big fan of the show. " They added: "It won't air until next year so fans will have to wait a good few months to find out how he fares in the tent." Despite being a father for the first time, it seems as though both he and Michelle Keegan have taken to parenthood with ease. When speaking about her brother as a dad, Jess told OK!: "Obviously now we've got Palma who is going to fit right in. She's adorable! They all absolutely love spending time with each other and Palma is an angel. She's so beautiful and sweet. The boys love her and are very gentle with her." She added: "It's lovely seeing [Mark and Michelle] as parents, I knew they would be incredible parents and they are. We're always with each other anyway and we tell each other little bits - there's always room to help each other out when you have babies. It's all such new territory."

Love Island's Megan takes swipe at Shakira and Harry as she shares verdict on co-stars
Megan Forte Clarke, who was dumped from the villa by the public alongside Conor Phillips this week, has shared her thoughts on the remaining couples on Love Island Former Love Island star Megan Forte Clarke has shared her thoughts on the couples still in the villa following her departure. She was dumped in a public vote alongside Conor Phillips this week, just days ahead of the live final. Megan, 24, had originally been voted out of the villa earlier in the series but she recently returned. She then rekindled a romance with co-star Conor, 25, but they received the least votes in the latest poll and their exits aired last night. After leaving the villa for a second time, Megan gave her opinion on the remaining couples, including teasing that she didn't expect one of them to still be together. It comes after Top Gear host admitted he 'never got along' with Jeremy Clarkson as he made a bold statement. READ MORE: Shaughna Phillips reveals why Love Island's top couple won't last – and it makes sense Speaking to ITV, Megan said that it was a "shock" to see Harry Cooksley, 30, and Shakira Khan, 22, together. They are now coupled up once again after having been in a long-running love triangle with now-dumped Helena Ford, 29. Last week, shortly after Megan returned to the villa, Helena ended things with Harry, bringing the love triangle to a close too. In the same episode, he told Shakira that he was either leaving with her or without her, and he went on to choose her in the last recoupling. Asked if any couples had changed in the time between her first exit and her return, Megan said: "I don't think any couple has changed. I think Harry and Shakira being together was a shock for me but everyone is really genuine." Further sharing her opinion, Megan teased that she thinks the couples in the villa have potential for a long-term relationship. She said: "I definitely think all the other couples have long term potential, it all just makes sense." Megan however revealed that there's one couple in particular that she hopes wins Love Island. She named Yasmin Pettet, 24, and Jamie Rhodes, 26, as her choice as winners ahead of this series' live final taking place next week. Asked who she's rooting for on the show, Megan said following her departure this week: "I'm really rooting for Yasmin and Jamie this time round." Further discussing the couple, she added: "They balance each other out perfectly." Megan also revealed that she was feeling "much better" about leaving the villa with Conor compared to her first exit. She said: "I left on really good terms." She continued by saying: "It was a nice way to leave and I'm very happy." She added: "I took a big risk coming back because I could have easily been pied but I have gone out with what I came in for - everything happens for a reason." The islander also said that it was a "completely different experience". Megan said: "[It was] a lot more relaxing and a lot more lovey dovey. It was I think a completely different experience the second time round and it was a different villa to the first time when everyone was wife swapping." Love Island continues tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.
