Laura Woods shockingly collapsed live on ITV while presenting coverage of England Women's game against Ghana.

Arsenal fan Woods fell forward and collapsed towards Ian Wright and Anita Asante, who joined her as the two pundits. The pair attempted to hold the broadcaster up before she fell to ground.

ITV chose to cut to adverts, though audio briefly continued, capturing former Gunners forward Wright checking on Woods before the programme switched to an advertising break.

Following the incident, fellow presenter Katie Shanahan stepped in to continue ITV's coverage alongside Wright and Asante, who said that Woods had "taken ill".

Shanahan said: "As you might have noticed, we don't have the wonderful Laura Woods.

"She has just been taken ill and is in very good hands."

Woods' fiancee Adam Collard, 30, said: "Laura is all OK and with the right people.

"Thank you for all of your kind messages."

Former Sky Sports presenter Woods is a regular on ITV and TNT Sports, where she presents coverage of the Champions League.

She also worked for DAZN, as part of their coverage of boxing and the Women's Champions League, before leaving the company in July 2023.

The Lionesses rounded off a stunning 2025 with a friendly against Ghana in Southampton. And looking to end the year with a win, Sarina Wiegman's side took the lead in the sixth minute through Lucia Kendall.

ITV are yet to provide another update on Woods.

But fans on social media were quick to express their well-wishes after the incident.

"Hope Laura Woods is ok!" One wrote. Another said: "Upsetting to see Laura Woods faint. Glad Ian Wright caught her. Speedy recovery."

A third added: "Hope Laura Woods is alright. Get well soon!" A fourth wrote: "Hope Laura Woods is alright. Get well soon!"

"Looking forward to the game but hope Laura Woods is okay. Quite a shock to see her collapse like that," another said.
