Laura Woods’ next job CONFIRMED with popular host set for huge TV role after emotional talkSPORT exit

LAURA WOODS has landed a mega new role after her emotional talkSPORT exit.

That's by leading ITV's coverage of the upcoming Women's World Cup.

Woods confirmed her departure from talkSPORT last month in an emotional statement.

And she bid farewell to breakfast show co-host Ally McCoist after partying at Glastonbury.

Woods is now being tipped to be the face of TNT Sports' Champions League coverage.

But in the meantime, the popular presenter and birthday girl has landed an exciting new gig with ITV.

Woods, who also stunned at Royal Ascot, is heading up the broadcaster's coverage of the Women's World Cup, which is being held in Australia and New Zealand.

The 64-game tournament, also being shown by the BBC, kicks off on July 20 in Auckland.

And Woods will take charge of two England group stage games for ITV, as well as the final itself.

But she isn't the only big name adding star quality to the tournament.

Seema Jaswal and Michelle Owen will help Woods out with presenting duties.

And there will be expert insight, opinion and analysis from Eni Aluko, Karen Carney, Jill Scott, Emma Hayes, Fran Kirby, Lucy Ward, Siobhan Chamberlain, Emma Byrne, Vicky Losada and Jen Beattie.

Commentary will come from Seb Hutchinson, Sam Matterface, Pien Meulensteen and Tom Gayle, while reporting on the tournament will be Katie Shanahan.

Niall Sloane, ITV Director of Sport, said: “I'm delighted we have been able to assemble a squad of some of the biggest names in the game for our comprehensive coverage of the Women’s World Cup across ITV and ITVX.

"Viewers are at the heart of our coverage and our team will provide expertise, fantastic insight and the very best analysis of the action at what, with the popularity of women’s football continuing to grow, promises to be the biggest tournament yet."
