Heartbroken Love Island star reveals shock miscarriage – and why they blame themselves for losing the baby

ITV football host Laura fell pregnant a month later and gave birth to their first child in January, but Adam says the miscarriage at 11 weeks resulted in mental torture — and a reflection on his past.
He explained: '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'.
"So it was a lot and I've worked on it now, but before SAS, I didn't get a chance. It was so soon.'
Personal trainer Adam began dating Laura, who fronted the recent Women's Euros coverage, in October 2023 and they got engaged last September.
Adam was once a major lothario, appearing on Love Island in 2018 and again in 2022, when he was brought back as a bombshell.
He says one of the reasons he signed up for Celebrity, which starts on Sunday, was to prove he is now a changed man, admitting: '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.
"I've changed so much. The people back home know me for me.
"And I think that's what the nice thing is about SAS, you'll see who I am now.'
Laura Woods gives Adam Collard a telling off as they watch Newcastle vs Arsenal and reveal who their baby is supporting
There's certainly no hiding place on the show.

Love Island couple ordered to leave the villa just hours before the big ITV final
Two Love Island stars are voted out of the villa by their former islanders in one of the most dramatic dumpings of the series so far, as ex-contestants 'don't hold back' As we get ready for the semi-final of one of the most dramatic series of Love Island yet, two more islanders will be brutally dumped from the villa as they get voted off by their former friends and foes, who aren't holding back. One couple won't be making it to the final of the show, as ITV 's latest teaser revealed a dramatic scene showing all the former islanders returning to the iconic villa one last time to make a huge decision. ITV took to Instagram to share the short clip from Sunday evening's episode, along with the caption: "First look! Ex-Islanders return for a savage dumping, and they're not holding back." Maya Jama appears to have returned to Mallorca one last time as she gets ready for the final and is seen entering the villa to announce the latest twist. After a dramatic slow-motion walk into the villa, the presenter announces: "Hello, hello, hello. Are you alright my loves? How was the dates? Are you all loved up? Well I have some very important news. Can you come and join me on the lawn?" The remaining islanders are Yas and Jamie, Cach and Toni, Harry and Shakira, Ty and Angel and Meg and Dejon. Maya informs them: "Well today, one more couple will be dumped from the Love Island villa and that decision will be made by some very familiar faces." The returning islanders included Sophie Lee, who entered at the start of the series and was the first to be dumped on day two. Viewers will also see the return of Tommy, who was previously one of the favourites to win the show but was dumped by Shakira. The latest teaser sent fans into a frenzy with many of them predicting who will be the couple dumped. One viewer commented: 'Sorry, but after Thursday and Friday, it's gotta be Meg and Dejon. Their time is up', while another added: 'Harry & Shakira.. your time is up!' A third shared their thoughts and wrote: 'For all the years of watching Love Island, it's my first time feeling this nervous about the finals. I swear my anxiety level is through the roof'. One fan stated: 'Do the right thing and only let Yas, Jamie, or Cach near that money for goodness sake', while another penned: 'I swear if Shakira, Toni, or Yaz go home, I might have to have some therapy sessions' Only time will tell how the voting is going to go down and which islanders will say their final goodbyes! Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Watch moment Love Island stars left in shock as Maya Jama returns for savage dumping and final twist
THE Love Island villa will be rocked for the final time tonight as Maya Jama returns for the last - and very brutal dumping. With just one day to go before the final, the islanders are left in shock as Maya enters the villa while they are lounging around. 8 8 8 She tells them: 'I have some very important news. Can you come and join me on the lawn? 'As you know, last night Megan and Conor were dumped as a result of receiving the least amount of votes for most compatible couple. I'm now going to reveal the two other couples who received the fewest votes and are at risk of being dumped from the island.' But there is more shock to come as Maya dramatically reveals exactly who will be deciding who goes home. As the stars looked on in horror, Maya announces: 'Today, one more couple will be dumped from the Love Island Villa. And that decision will be made by some very familiar faces.' The ex-Islanders make their return as they gather at the fire pit primed to unleash their opinion on the two couples at risk. Maya tells them: 'Welcome back guys. You must now individually decide which couple is the least compatible. The couple with the most votes will be dumped from the island immediately.' One by one the ex-Islanders have their say, leaving the couples at risk less than impressed by their comments. And the decision is made to send one pair packing - meaning they miss out on the chance of winning the £50k in the final. Viewers are convinced they have worked out who will be heading home and took to social media to share their opinions. One person wrote: 'Harry & Shakira.. your time is up!' Love Island fans figure out when villa divide happened as they reveal exact moment the girls turned on each other A second said: 'Got a feeling this lot will have it in for Shakira and Harry. Should be Mug and Mustard…' While a third commented: 'It won't be Dejon and Meg because some vindictive ex islanders like Blu, Lucy, Lauren, Harrison, Tommy et al will not vote them out.' Others expressed their upset at letting the former Islanders make the direction - one person raged: 'Worse ever decision to let a group of biased & bitter (rejected!) people back to vote in the least fair & least objective way - spoils it every time! Please stop it!' 8 8 8 8

We're ditching the UK for Thailand – we can't wait to leave this ‘miserable' life, all we do is work to pay bills
A UK FAMILY have set their sights on Thailand after growing tired of the British lifestyle. The Smiths cited the rising cost of living, crime, and the school system as their main motivations for ditching life in the Midlands. 2 Dale Smith told 1.9 million TikTok viewers about his family's upcoming move. He explained that he found a variety of factors have made the UK "not a nice place to live any more". The HGV driver and his wife Kim, 36, are moving with their children Noah, 10, and Molly, eight, in November. They said they want to break away from their monotonous routine and start a new life abroad, embracing the "beautiful scenery" and "incredible food" Thailand has to offer. "I feel like life is just flying by, you wake up on a Monday, you're fed up and you can't wait for the weekend – you're wishing the days away," Dale said. He added that the cost of living is continuing to rise while the UK streets are now "a state". Despite an increase in income following a change in work, Dale said all his extra money is "just going to bills". He compared the never-ending cycle to "banging your head against a brick wall". The couple's children are also excited for the move, eager to begin homeschooling life and leave the British school system. Dale and Kim plan to focus on English and basic maths, as subjects their children enjoy such as history, video editing, and photography. I fled the UK for sunny Dubai - life back home is miserable & no-one has any cash The TikToker added that he hopes his children will "learn new languages and learn about new cultures". He also pointed out that the "terrible" English weather is another push for the family to move abroad. "England is just a miserable place and we're just tired," he told his audience. The family plan to move across the globe with just "nothing but a bag of clothes" and use their savings to support them. They are also in the process of selling their three-bedroom home, their 2015 Ford Focus, and most of their possessions. How easy is it to move abroad? Brexit means British citizens now have to apply for visas to move to countries within the EU. While some countries residency restrictions are easier than others, here's what you need to do at home before moving: Notify HMRC about your upcoming move. Let your local authority know and provide a forwarding address. Contact your mortgage and utility providers and bank before leaving. If you have paid enough UK national insurance contributions, you can qualify for a state pension abroad - contact the International Pension Centre. You can sign up to the Royal Mail's redirection service. If you have outstanding student loans, contact the Student Loans Centre. If you have children, give due notice to childcares and schools. Dale added that he and Kim have been doing "loads" of research around visa applications, flights, and places they want to visit. He revealed that the they will travel to Bangkok for one week before moving down the coast to Hua Hin. The family will then stay at the scenic beachside district for a few months. Dale has been posting the family's journey on TikTok and YouTube, under the handle @ He described the upcoming new chapter as exciting but scary. More on living abroad Most expats surveyed claim living abroad is one of best decisions they've ever made. And the five things one British expat misses the most about life at home. Another family ditched the UK for Spain, and are loving the sun and relaxed culture. One British couple described themselves as "burnt out zombies" before moving to Bali. Another family left the UK for Cyprus and say they work half as much while still affording a home. 2
