Laura Woods’ fiancé has posted a positive health update after the football presenter collapsed on TV.
The 38-year-old was alongside Ian Wright and former England defender Anita Asante when she fell and had to be caught by the two pundits.
ITV announced on air afterwards that Woods had been “taken ill” and replaced by presenter Katie Shanahan, who was on duty for pitch-side coverage at St Mary’s Stadium in Southampton.
Her partner, Adam Collard, has now released a statement confirming the 38-year-old is okay.
He wrote to concerned fans on his X account: “Laura is all ok and with the right people.
“Thank you for all of your kind messages.”
Woods and reality TV star and fitness trainer Collard, 30, have been together since 2023.
The pair welcomed their first child in January, a baby boy named Leo.
