Conspicuous by her absence ahead of Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk’s historic heavyweight match in Saudi Arabia, the broadcaster’s flagship presenter took to social media on Friday evening to share painful-looking photos of her recent injuries.

Alongside photos of a cut on her right eyebrow and of her awaiting surgery in hospital, Woods also shared a lengthy explanation of exactly how the incident happened, mentioning her gratitude that her partner – Collard – had been present. to help her.

But a social media troll disputed the version of events, claiming the 28-year-old had been at fault, writing: ‘Adam Collard you know what you are.’

The former Love Island star immediately wanted to refute the accusation and responded with a blunt retort.

“Shut up you stupid **** and read her Instagram post,” Collard wrote.

Woods wrote about the circumstances of her accident and took to social media to describe how she became entangled in a glass lamp while on holiday with the fitness trainer.

‘I just wanted to explain my absence from television, to be completely transparent and avoid any speculation. Last weekend I had an accident at a holiday home,” she said.

“I swung a pillow and hit a large glass lampshade hanging from the ceiling above me, which shattered and cut my face and arms, but luckily missed my eye,” she continued.

Her post continued: ‘I just wanted to say a few thanks, firstly to Adam for being my hero that day, acting so quickly and not leaving my side since, and to his family who took care of me at a time when I petrify.

“To my agents Alex Maguire and Matthew Odonohue at CAA who immediately sought the best help. To Doctor Yannis Alexandrides and his wonderful medical assistant Zuzanna from 111, who opened their emergency surgery and came in on their days off: They were so gentle and have already performed magic that I didn’t think it was possible to limit the damage.

‘I’ve included the pictures from then to now to show that even though it may look rough, it’s already such a great improvement and I’m so grateful.

‘It was a huge shock and I was a bit sad, but I’m lucky it wasn’t worse. So also a big thank you to my eyebrow, because I am the victim of it.

‘I’m sad that I won’t be able to cover tomorrow’s fight in Riyadh, but I wish the brilliant TNT boxing team all the best. Come back soon xx,” she added.

At the time, Collard shared his support under the caption, writing in the comments section that his partner was a “little trooper (two heart emojis).”

Woods and Collard first made their relationship public in October and it appears they spent many private getaways together prior to their latest cottage drama.

In April, the pair traveled to Mexico, just two months after taking a group ski holiday in the French Alps with friends.

Collard has previously discussed his intention to ‘marry’ the broadcaster, saying: ‘I’m protective, whether it’s Laura, or my family, my friends. I want to get married. I also want to have children. I always thought: what kind of person will I be? How can I protect my children?

“Obviously I’ve never had a kid, but I don’t think I’m going to plaster it all over (social media). I want them to get a fair fight and not be judged right away.

‘As long as those close to me know exactly who I am, it doesn’t matter to me. I think you have to take everything with a grain of salt.’

Collard added that he is unfazed by the eight-age difference between himself and 36-year-old Woods, stressing: “We’re not necessarily your average everyday couple.

“We’re both busy a lot and I think I’ve always punched above my years anyway, I think it’s probably exactly all I’ve needed for a long time.”
