Presenter Woods ‘taken ill’ during England coverage

Laura Woods appeared to be drowsy during her time leading England’s friendly against Ghana on Tuesday in Southampton.

After Woods’ arrest, ITV cut an advert break following her arrest by pundits Ian Wright and Anita Asante.

Katie Shanahan, a coworker, confirmed that Woods had been “taken ill” when the coverage returned.

“I’m stepping in at late notice because we don’t have the wonderful Laura Woods because she’s just taken ill,” said Shanahan.

Woods regularly appears on ITV and TNT Sports on both men’s and women’s football.

She has also appeared on Talksport on radio.
