Laura Woods replaced by stand-in after collapsing during live ITV football broadcast
Laura Woods had to be replaced by a stand-in after collapsing live on TV.
The ITV football host was presenting coverage of the England women’s friendly against Ghana on Tuesday (2 December), when she suddenly fell forwards into the arms of co-presenters Ian Wright and Anita Asante.
ITV then swiftly cut to a wide shot of St Mary's Stadium.
"As you can probably notice, we don't have the wonderful Laura Woods because she's just been taken ill, but she's in very, very good hands", her stand-in, Katie Shanahan, said.
In a post to Instagram, Ms Woods said, "I'm ok, the wonderful paramedics have said it's probably a virus... a big thank you to Wrighty & Neets for catching me."
