And a host of her friends wished her a happy birthday, with Woods sharing Sky Sports producer Hayley Sloane's post of the pair enjoying drinks by the pool.

The snap was taken from a hen do - with the sports presenter donning a black bikini as she took in the sunshine.

A few hours after her birthday had come to an end, Woods tweeted how emotional it was to not be waking up to present a Monday show on talkSPORT.

She said: "Barring last Monday, this is the first time I'm not setting the alarm earlyyyy doors. And I just wanted to say I really miss the 6am club this week.

Woods announced she would be leaving talkSPORT on June 14.

Talking about her decision to walk away, she said: "You lot, our listeners, have given me so much comfort and guided me through some of my toughest moments, without even realising it.

"So I wanted to thank you personally for that. I will miss it dearly. Even the Spurs fans.

"For what feels like a lifetime I’ve been a listener of talkSPORT.

"For the last six years it’s been my home, where we get to spend our mornings talking about sport.

"There’s nothing better. I know I will never find a job like this. It’s unique.

"Three years as the host of this amazing breakfast show, three bits of silverware for the trophy cabinet and record listening figures.

"I’m very proud of what we achieved here. One thing’s for sure: I will always be part of this family at talkSPORT.

"For now, no more 3am alarms, which is just wonderful! I will pop back whenever I can, I adore you all."

Woods is widely tipped to take over Jake Humphrey at TNT Sports after he left his role as the main anchor at BT Sport.
