‘I’m really embarrassed’: Laura Woods reveals the cause of her viral collapse on live TV

Adam Collard’s fiancée, Laura Woods, has issued a statement after she went viral for collapsing during a football broadcast on Tuesday night.

The scary moment happened during ITV’s live broadcast of the Lionesses’ game against Ghana yesterday. While discussing the match with fellow pundits Anita Asante and Ian Wright at St Mary’s Stadium in Southampton, Laura seemingly fell forward as Ian was discussing the match.

Flexing those former footballer reflexes, Ian effortlessly caught his colleague as she slumped forward into his arms. The camera then switched to show the wider pitch, with sounds in the background suggesting she’d fallen on the floor as her colleagues scrambled to help.

“What a save by Ian. Well done,” one person wrote beneath one video, which had racked up 2.5 million views.

Another person said: “I just watched it and that was a bit frightening. I hope makes a full recovery soon.”

Laura is all ok and with the right people. Thank you for all of your kind messages 🤍

Despite the collapse, Laura Woods’ soon-to-be husband, Love Island’s Adam Collard, said she was receiving medical attention as he thanked people for their supportive messages.

“Laura is all ok and with the right people. Thank you for all of your kind messages,” he wrote on Twitter.
