Adam Collard has confirmed his relationship with ITV Sport presenter Laura Woods in a loved-up snap after weeks of speculation that the pair were secretly dating one another.
The Love Island star, 27, and the football pundit, 36, have been spotted out together a number of times in recent weeks as fans speculated on whether or not the Adam and Laura were an item.
Taking to Instagram on Monday Adam put the rumours to bed and confirmed their romance as he posted a loved-up sweet picture of Laura planting a kiss on his cheek as the pair look completely smitten with one another.
Celebs Go Dating star Adam - who hasn't had a good reputation when it comes to romance - beamed from ear-to-ear in the sweet snap which saw the couple laying on a bed as Adam cuddled his beloved pet dog who also joined them for the Instagram reveal.
Adam and Laura first sparked dating rumours last month when they were spotted out together. Adam, who has been accused of breaking hearts and cheating on exes in the past - was spotted with 36-year-old football pundit Laura in a pub in County Durham at the weekend. The pair are said to have been close with conversation looking intimate as they knocked back drinks together.

While Laura was previously linked to England rugby player Alex Corbisiero - who she dated for eight years until they split this year.
But it seems the burning spark of passion has been building between Adam and Laura after they were spotted at the Black Bull pub in Trimdon last month. It's reported that the pair were “deep in conversation” while together at the low-key boozer.
At the time, an onlooker told The Sun: “Laura and Adam were definitely on a date and seemed to be very close. They sat in the Black Bull for a few hours and were talking over drinks. Adam seemed very keen on Laura and they looked like any other cosy couple enjoying a few drinks on a night out.”
Laura recently opened up about her own love life, revealing that she is happy to move on following the collapse of her relationship with 35-year-old Alex. She told The Sun she decided to end things, explaining: “It was my decision – it was the right one and I've never regretted it. We’d lived in each other’s pockets and breaking up with him felt like coming up for air."
She then shared her excitement over being able to try to find love again. She said: "I am single, but I'm also dating. That's a part of my life that I have learned to keep private. I don’t want to put my whole life out there for everybody to see. I want to keep some things like ‘that person’ more sacred."
