sport news Laura Woods' boyfriend Adam Collard hits back at online troll's sick claim that ... trends now
Adam Collard has hit out at a vile suggestion on social media that he had been involved in Laura Woods' freak accident which left the TNT Sports presenter with cuts to her face and arms last week.
Conspicuous in her absence in the build-up to Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk's historic heavyweight contest in Saudi Araba, the broadcaster's flagship host took to social media on Friday evening to share painful-looking pictures of her recent injuries.
As well as pictures of a cut suffered to her right eyebrow and those of her waiting for surgery in hospital, Woods also shared a lengthy explanation of exactly how the incident had happened, and cited her gratitude that her partner - Collard - had been on hand to help her.
But one social media troll disputed the version of events, alleging that the 28-year-old had been at fault and writing: 'Adam Collard you know what you are'.
The former Love Island star was keen to immediately refute the accusation, and responded with a blunt rejoinder.
