"The presenter was hosting ITV's coverage of the friendly between England and Ghana during the women's international break at the start of December when the incident happened. She was appearing alongside pundits Ian Wright and Anita Asante during the pre-match build-up, when she dropped towards the floor but was caught by her colleagues. Seconds after she fainted, ITV's broadcast cut away and headed straight to a commercial break while they attended to Woods. She was then taken off air, with stand-in presenter Katie Shanahan confirming that Woods had taken ill and was being treated."
"Gosh that was a bit weird, Woods later said via her own Instagram account. Sorry to worry everyone, im ok, the wonderful paramedics at Saints have said its probably a virus, just need a bit of rest & hydration. I'm really embarrassed that happened on tv, but a big thank you to my colleagues at ITV who have really looked after me tonight."
