ADAM Collard has spilled the beans on how he managed to bag his first date with TV presenter Laura Woods.
The Love Island star, 27, and Laura, 36, were first linked to each other back in September when The Sun revealed that they had enjoyed a string of dates.

Geordie lad Adam has now revealed how he wooed Laura through a series of flirty social media exchanges, before wining and dining her on an “undercover date”.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun, Adam said: “The first time we met – I’ll hold my hands up – I did DM her first and got a reply but then nothing ever happened.
“Then she called us out for basically leaving her on read.
“It’s hard to meet people, isn’t it? I’m from Newcastle and eventually we met up, and then went on a very undercover date, and obviously what comes out in the press, comes out in the press, but it’s not always the full story.
“I’m kind of glad in a way as well, as I feel like there’s an element of having to hide too much now.”
When asked if he used any smooth tactics to woo the blonde beauty, Adam replied: “I really like her, so I don’t want to jinx it.”
Adam gushed over the TNT sports host and said their relationship is getting more “serious”.
He told us at The Best Heroes Awards: “I would never get in a relationship with someone at least at one point [unless] I thought they were The One.
“Some of the ‘girlfriends’ I’ve had , and I’m saying ‘girlfriends’ because they’re not really girlfriends – they’re just girls I’ve been on one date with, and then suddenly they’re my girlfriend which puts a lot of pressure and stuff, because I would only say I’ve had three or four serious ones.”
His blossoming new romance comes hot off the heels of his fling with model Lottie Moss.
The pair enjoyed a brief dalliance while filming E4‘s Celebs Go Dating.
The tattooed hunk said he’s since moved on from Lottie after the pair cut communication.
He explained: “We haven’t really spoken.
“It’s one of those things, there was an element of real there, and there was an element of we had a really good excuse of seeing each other, because the TV crew were putting us in the same cars, and they were making me travel to London more.
“I had an excuse to go and see her because we were working together.
“I’m in Newcastle and I opened a gym the week of Celebs Go Dating starting, and I’ve got to be honest, I didn’t have time for anyone – let alone Lottie, and I am a very selfish person and especially with work.
“I feel coming off the show, which was probably the right time – not during that, because I did have a few big things that were happening in my life at that point.”
When asked if he thought the the producers were pushing him and Lottie together, Adam said: “All I would say is how many people in offices end up getting with someone at work, and that is the best way I can relate it.
“I am still human and she is still human, and I would like to hope that if I saw her in person, we could give each other the benefit of the doubt and we’d be OK.
“But honestly the TV just amplifies everything, and I don’t want to bad mouth any of my relationships, but it is hard coming of Love Island and being in a relationship with someone because, you’re put into this bubble.
“Isn’t it funny how the ones who stick together, are people who have met from completely different things – for instance look how many times have you seen a presenter with someone else from a TV show?
“I think when it’s so close knit, it puts a lot of pressure, and it accelerates thing unnaturally.”
Last week they were spotted on a romantic dog walk in London.
The two held hands as Adam put his arm around casually-dressed Laura.
It’s after Laura posted her own snaps with VERY intimate pictures of Adam in bed and on the sofa.
The Sun revealed Laura is Adam’s “dream girl” and they’re “smitten” with each other.
