Adam Collard has arrived at court with his pregnant fiancée Laura Woods as his dad stands trial for allegedly assaulting him.
Businessman William ‘Billy’ Collard, 56, denies a charge of assault by beating following an alleged row at a holiday cottage on his farm in Northumberland last year.
It is believed that the pair’s confrontation stemmed from a disagreement over who owned the cottage, the court heard.
Prosecutors claim that former Love Island star Adam, 30, attended the property with a police officer to change the locks, but found his father’s car blocking the access road.
After that, an alleged argument is said to have broken out, and Adam was left with a ripped shirt and injured neck.
Earlier today, Adam was seen with sports presenter Laura Woods, 38, who is expecting their second child, arriving Newcastle Magistrates Court.

The pair announced the pregnancy earlier this year after welcoming their first baby together.
Previously, Adam has described his dad – who is a well-known property developer in the North East and has a property portfolion estimated to be worth millions of pounds – as being ‘the most inspiring and generous guy’.
Prior to Adam finding fame on Love Island in 2018, it was also expected that he would be sit to inherit millions from his 56-year-old dad.
The fitness influencer has shed light on some disagreements he has shared with Billy, including one instance when he was kicked out of the family home after getting his first tattoo as a teenager.

In 2008, Billy faced previous legal troubles after he admitted making a false statement to obtain income support after claiming he had no income or assets despite owning a substantial property portfolio.
Newcastle Crown Court heard that he wrongly received nearly £6,000 in benefits between 2003 and 2004.
As a result, he was handed a two-year conditional discharge and ordered to pay £2,000 in costs.
Speaking about the conviction years later, Billy said he did not want his past to reflect on his son’s career.
