LAURA WOODS is “looking forward” to hosting ITV’s Euro 2024 coverage as she provided a health update on her horror injury.

That was due to a nasty-looking injury she suffered in a freak accident that left her hospitalised with Becky Ives replacing her on TNT Sports.
Woods posted a heartfelt note on Friday to announce her nasty news that occurred while on holiday with boyfriend Adam Collard.
The TNT Sports and ITV star explained how she accidentally smashed a glass lampshade above her head, causing it to shatter and cut her face and arm.
That left her with some nasty injuries surrounding her eye and a large gash on the back of her arm but Woods bravely stepped out in public again yesterday.

The 36-year-old, dressed in a smart black outfit and white trainers, covered her eyes with a pair of large sunglasses and kept her injuries protected by a bandage.
Now concerned fans will not have to wait long to see the star back on their screens following the injuries.
Rival channel BBC first announced their Euro 2024 line-up before ITV followed suit with their list of pundits and confirmation that Woods would be on presenting duties yesterday.
As the broadcaster posted the news on X, Woods then shared the announcement along with a message that read: “Looking forward to this.”

There was also one more confirmation that she would be back on our screens.
A fellow follower said: “Great line up. Don’t come into contact with any glass ! We need you there!”
And that led to her replying with a reassuring one-word answer that read: “Promise.”
