Laura Woods ‘in good hands’ after collapsing while presenting England coverage

Woods, 38, was leading the broadcaster’s pre-match coverage when she appeared to faint while pitchside.

Television presenter Laura Woods is “in good hands” after being taken ill on air during ITV4’s coverage of England women’s friendly against Ghana on Tuesday.

Woods was leading the broadcaster’s pre-match coverage when she fell forward while pitchside.

Pundits Ian Wright and Anita Asante moved quickly to catch her as she fell.

The broadcaster cut to a commercial break, and when coverage resumed, her place had been taken by colleague Katie Shanahan.

Shanahan said: “As you have probably noticed we don’t have the wonderful Laura Woods because she’s just been taken ill.

“But she’s in very good hands so I’m stepping in at late notice.”

Woods’ fiancée, Love Island star Adam Collard, later gave an update in a post on X, which read: “Laura is all ok and with the right people.

“Thank you for all of your kind messages.”
