Reality star Adam Collard was overcome with emotion as he discussed some of the hardest moments he has endured in life on Channel 4’s Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins
Adam Collard broke down in tears while discussing a devastating miscarriage he and fiancée Laura Woods endured. The Love Island alum is one of the stars taking part in the current season of Channel 4’s Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.
Away from the cameras, Adam, 29, has been in a relationship with 28-year-old sports presenter Laura since October 2023. They became engaged in September last year and welcomed a son named Leo in January this year.
Amid the happy news, there has been tragedy, however, as the couple endured a miscarriage during a previous pregnancy. As part of his involvement in Who Dares Win, Adam was brought before the Special Forces staff on the show and questioned about the difficulties he has faced in life.

In scenes due to air on the Channel 4 show this weekend, Adam opens up about his battle with depression, before breaking down in tears as he discusses the loss of a child. The emotional scenes show Adam wiping tears from his eyes as he struggles to discuss the hardship he went through.
Discussing his life’s toughest moments, he says: “One of them was with my partner…and…we, erm, lost something…when it was really close to getting there a second time and telling everyone.”
The Special Forces staff ask him if he is referencing a miscarriage, to which Adam nods. He continues: “I think I was proud of the fact that I was excited for it, which I didn’t think I ever would be.
“And when it got taken away, and it was 10 times worse for her, I think it hit us like a ton of bricks. We just really, really went to a bit of a bad place. And to be honest, in front of her, I pretended I was cool, and pretended I was absolutely fine.”
It is not the only point at which Adam becomes overcome during Sunday night’s episode, however. Another task shows the participants – who include former footballers Adebayo Akinfenwa and Troy Deeney, boxer Conor Benn, and The Traitors star Harry Clark – reading out letters they penned to be distributed in the event of their death.
Adam pays tribute to his fiancée, Laura, in his own note, revealing: “The last few months have been really tough, but nowhere near as tough as you.”
He continues: “We lost a baby recently” but then breaks down in tears again. After being consoled by his fellow contestants, he is able to complete reading his letter, which ends: “I wish I had one more night to give you the world’s biggest cuddle. Love you always, Adam.”
In a subsequent confessionals conversation where he addresses the camera, Adam praised Laura, saying: “I’d say I’m pretty closed off as a person, and she definitely helped me to open up.”
In June, Laura paid tribute to Adam and their child as they celebrated their first Father’s Day together. Taking to Instagram, she shared a snap of Adam cuddling their son while she stood proudly beside him.
She wrote in an accompanying caption: Happy 1st Father’s Day to this absolute DILF.” She added: “Dad of The Year, no task too big or baby apparatus instructions too complicated. The way you and this little boy adore each other made me realise what it’s all about. Thanks for making my life.”
