"The 38-year-old presenter, a familiar face on both men's and women's football coverage, has since credited what medical staff believe was a virus, and thanked colleagues and supporters for their concern. Woods was fronting the live pre-match studio panel alongside pundits Ian Wright and Anita Asante at St Mary's Stadium when, shortly before kick-off, she collapsed, falling forwards and needing both Wright and Asante to catch her before she sank to the ground."
"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 hydration. 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."
Laura Woods, 38, fainted live during ITV's pre-match coverage of England vs Ghana at St Mary's Stadium shortly before kick-off. She collapsed forward and was caught by pundits Ian Wright and Anita Asante, who prevented a harder fall. ITV briefly cut to a commercial break and replaced Woods with reporter Katie Shanahan, who told viewers Woods was receiving medical attention. Woods later posted on social media that paramedics believed a virus caused the incident and that she planned to rest and hydrate. Her fiancé Adam Collard confirmed she was in good hands. Social media responded with concern and praise for colleagues' quick actions.
