The sports presenter lost her footing live on air during ITV\u2019s coverage of the Lionesses at St Mary\u2019s, with pundits Wright and Anita Asante catching her before she fell.<\/p>\n
England went on to win the friendly 2-0 with Woods later confirming she was ill.<\/p>\n
The broadcast cut to a shot of the teams warming up on the pitch before an advert break.<\/p>\n

And Wright has now discussed the concerning incident on The Overlap with Gary Neville and Roy Keane, Jamie Carragher and Jill Scott.<\/p>\n
Wright said: \u201cShe\u2019s fine. I got a message from her this morning.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was worrying at the time but she\u2019s fine. People have been really nice about it. I\u2019m glad she\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n
Scott added: \u201cShe said that she thinks she\u2019s got a virus but it must have been horrible for that to happen, on live TV as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
The group then took a lighter approach to the discussion around Woods, leaning on their personal relationships from working alongside her.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m guessing she\u2019s not the first woman to fall into your arms Ian,\u201d Keane joked. \u201cThat\u2019s just your knack.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s okay and that\u2019s all that matters, that\u2019s the most important thing, obviously. You\u2019ll get a knighthood or an award for that, Wrighty.\u201d<\/p>\n
Woods said she was \u201creally embarrassed\u201d while thanking Wright, Asante and her colleagues at ITV for \u201creally looking after me\u201d.<\/p>\n
She said in a statement on social media: \u201cGosh that was a bit weird.<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry to worry everyone, I\u2019m ok, the wonderful paramedics at Saints have said its probably a virus, just need a bit of rest and hydration.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really embarrassed that happened on TV, but a big thank you to my colleagues at ITV who have really looked after me tonight.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd to Wrighty and Neets for catching me and sorry again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Katie Shanahan was installed as an emergency replacement by ITV, stepping in for Woods after she received medical treatment.<\/p>\n
She said: \u201cAs you have probably noticed we don\u2019t have the wonderful Laura Woods because she\u2019s just been taken ill but she\u2019s in very good hands so I\u2019m stepping in at late notice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The sports presenter lost her footing live on air during ITV\u2019s coverage of the Lionesses at St Mary\u2019s,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":175113,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,898,112],"class_list":{"0":"post-175112","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-ie","9":"tag-ireland","10":"tag-latest-news-ticker","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175112","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175112"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175112\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175113"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175112"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175112"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175112"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
