Laura Woods Says She’s OK After On-Air Collapse During ITV’s England–Ghana Coverage

Paramedics at St Mary’s said a virus was the likely cause, with ITV switching to a stand-in host as she received care.

Overview

  • The presenter fainted during the pre-match build-up at St Mary’s, with Ian Wright and Anita Asante moving to catch her before ITV cut to adverts.
  • Katie Shanahan replaced Woods on air and told viewers at half-time that the presenter was doing okay.
  • Woods later posted on Instagram that medics believed it was probably a virus and that she was advised to rest and rehydrate.
  • Her fiancé, Adam Collard, reassured fans on X that she was all right and in the care of the right people.
  • Ian Wright said he received a message from Woods confirming she was fine, as colleagues, broadcasters and fans shared well-wishes following the incident.
