Laura Woods can’t keep her hands off boyfriend Adam Collard as loved-up couple snog on the beach in Mexico
LAURA Woods and boyfriend Adam Collard couldn’t keep their hands off each other as they snogged on the beach in Mexico.
The loved-up pair cuddled up on a cosy bed in Tulum and stole kisses and adoring glances at one another.
Sports presenter Laura, 36, looked great makeup-free in a pink bikini while Love Island hunk Adam, 28, was ripped in a pair of small white swim shorts.
In our exclusive snaps Laura can be seen passionately clasping her man’s head and tattooed back as he leans over her.
They looked easy in one another’s company and spent time on their phones and an iPad when they weren’t canoodling.
At one point, Adam went for a stroll along the beach and picked up a bottle of Gatorade to keep hydrated.
The gym owner and fitness fan was also seen doing tricep dips to keep his bulging arms pumped on the trip.
The couple took selfies from their beach spot and shared them on social media.
It’s the perfect time for a celebratory getaway after Laura’s employer ITV picked up a Sports Journalism award for its coverage of the Women’s World Cup this week.
Laura, who’s affectionately known as Woodsy, won a big individual award back in November too.
She took home the Presenter of the Year by Broadcast Sport, beating the likes of Mark Pougatch and Ed Chamberlain to the gong.
Adam and Laura fell head over heels for each other last year.
Though they kept the romance under wraps at first, they now have no problem showing their love publicly.
In December, Adam told us: “Me and Laura are going very very well. I’m very excited for Christmas, I think I haven’t done a Christmas at a girl’s house since I was 21.
“I’m going to go to hers first and then she’s going to come to mine after.
“I’m going to her parents, so it’s pretty special. I’ve met them and they’ve given me the thumbs up – luckily they don’t read many papers.”
Bad boy reputation
Adam picked up a reputation as a Lothario across his two stints on Love Island thanks to televised flings with multiple women.
But he insists he is misunderstood and that Laura doesn’t buy into the rumours around his reputation.
“For someone whose had 25 girlfriends, I’ve really only had three,” Adam told us.
“If you actually ask the people that I’ve really been going out with, I think that they would have very different opinions based on how I’ve treated them and she’s definitely given me the benefit of the doubt with that.
“She definitely sees through it.
“It is very hard dating in the public eye because as soon as you go on a date with someone they are instantly in a relationship and that’s not the case.”
Adam said he and Laura had an instant “connection” and winning her over came natural.
The tattooed hunk said: “It was never hard, I can’t remember it being this easy and I think it’s because I’m older.
“I think I’m ready, I probably wouldn’t have been ready a few years ago when I was on TV, I was a Jack-in-the-box, I couldn’t do that if I tried now.
“I’m in a totally different headspace now, Laura is amazing, she’s really really amazing and it was always just when I was ready.
“I was her and I think that’s very important.
“As a boy I think you have to be ready.”
When asked what he admires about Laura, Adam gushed: “I can give you 300 [reasons]…I don’t even know where to start.”
