Adam previously admitted: ‘I’m protective, whether it’s with Laura, my family or my friends.
I want to get married and have children. I’ve always wondered what kind of person I’ll be. How can I protect my children?

‘I showed up for a podcast like this on The Sun. She walked past me and the girl we were with and said, “That’s Laura Woods.” I was like (shrugs), but she had her back to us, she was miles away from us.’
Adam later said that “it went by months and months and months” before he tried his luck with the presenter.
