Laura Woods is centre screen from this evening as the presenter spearheading ITV’s Euro 2024 coverage, but the multi-talented ITV star also enjoys a high-profile romance.
The 36-year-old will be strictly football focused as she guides fans through all the international action, but she’s also known for her relationship with Love Island star Adam Collard.
Laura shone when she presented coverage of last year’s Women’s World Cup for the channel, but she is also a TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video presenter.
A boxing expert as well, Laura was previously a regular pitch-side reporter on Super Sunday with Gary Neville on Sky Sports for several years.
But her personal partnership with Adam has also proven to be a success.

Fitness coach and former Islander – twice – Adam, 28, and Laura have been dating since last year.
They confirmed their romance by making things Instagram official in October 2023.
It was Celebs Go Dating star Adam who revealed he actually slid into Laura’s DMs first but left her on read after she replied.
However, sparks started to fly once they met in person and things got pretty serious rather quickly, with Adam declaring her ‘the one’ as their relationship became public knowledge.

The couple frequently share loved-up photos together, with Adam sharing a sweet photo dump in May dedicated to his girlfriend, which he dubbed ‘a little bit of everything’.
It included photos of them on holiday together, training together and with the dog, with plenty of cuddles in between.

Prior to Adam being her boyfriend, Laura had a long-term relationship with a professional athlete.

In May, Laura sustained gruesome injuries from a freak pillow accident forced her ‘off the tele’ and to miss anchoring Tyson Fury’s fight with Oleksandr Usyk for TNT Sports.
The popular presenter required emergency surgery after a glass lampshade shattered above her and the glass cut her face and arms, narrowly missing her eyes.

In her post revealing her injuries she praised Adam ‘for being my hero that day’ as he acted ‘so quickly’ and didn’t leave her side.

Laura also praised the doctors who treated her as she continued: ‘I’ve added in the photos from then to now to show that even though it may look rough, it’s such a wonderful improvement already and I’m so grateful.
‘It was a hell of a shock and I’ve been a bit sad, but I’m feeling very lucky it wasn’t worse. So a big thanks to my eyebrow too, for taking the brunt of it.’
Adam later angrily hit back at trolls who alleged he had hit his girlfriend, telling one commenter to ‘shut up’ and ‘read her Instagram post’.
