Terrifying Moment During Live Broadcast

Woods was listening to co-host Ian Wright as he analysed England Women’s upcoming game when she suddenly leaned forward and collapsed.

Producers quickly cut to a wide stadium shot before heading into an ad break.

When the programme resumed, Woods had been replaced by presenter Katie Shanahan, who addressed the incident on air:

“As you might have noticed, we don’t have the wonderful Laura Woods. She has just been taken ill and is in very good hands. We want to assure you that she is doing ok.”

Later in the evening, Woods released a statement on Instagram, confirming that she was recovering and thanking those who helped her.

She wrote:

“Gosh that was a bit weird. Sorry to worry everyone, I’m ok. The wonderful paramedics at Saints have said it’s probably a virus — just need a bit of rest and rehydration.

I’m really embarrassed that happened on TV, but a big thank you to my colleagues at ITV who have really looked after me tonight.

And to Wrighty and Neets for catching me, and sorry again x.”

Woods, who welcomed her baby son Leo in January, also apologised for the scare but stressed that she simply needed rest.

Her fiancé, Adam Collard, later posted his own reassuring message to worried fans:

“Laura is all ok and with the right people. Thank you for all of your kind messages.”
