She was caught by her co-host, former Arsenal striker Ian Wright, and then the feed cut away.

When the broadcast resumed, Katie Shanahan had taken over for Woods, and said that Woods had “taken ill,” but that she was “in very good hands.”

Herย fiancรฉ, reality TV personality Adam Collard, posted on social media that she was alright.

โ€œLaura is all OK and with the right people. Thank you for all of your kind messages,โ€ he wrote.

On her Instagram story, she said that it was likely a virus.

โ€œGosh that was a bit weird. Sorry to worry everyone, Iโ€™m OK. Just need a bit of rest and hydration,” she wrote. “Iโ€™m really embarrassed that happened on TV but a big thank you to my colleagues at ITV who have really looked after me tonight and for Wrighty and Neets for catching me.”
