Laura Woods collapsed while presenting ITV ’s coverage of England women’s friendly against Ghana on Tuesday night.

The 38-year-old was caught by pundits Ian Wright and Anita Asante before ITV cut straight to an advert break.

As Woods collapsed, ITV cut to a wider shot of the two teams warming up on the pitch at St. Mary’s Stadium.

When the coverage returned, presenter Katie Shanahan announced she had taken the over from Woods who had been ‘taken ill’.

‘As you have probably noticed we don’t have the wonderful Laura Woods because she’s just been taken ill but she’s in very good hands so I’m stepping in at late notice,’ Shanahan said.

Shanahan later added: ‘She’s in really good hands and we’re wishing her a speedy recovery.’
