Laura Woods made her return to TV presenting after hosting TNT Sports’ coverage of the Champions League on Wednesday night. 

Woods was front and centre for the broadcast giants ahead of Barcelona and Inter Milan’s clash in the competition’s semi-finals – just three months after giving birth. 

The 37-year-old was joined by the familiar faces of Steve McManaman and Owen Hargreaves in the studio as she made her long-awaited return to the TV screen.

In January, Woods and fiance Adam Collard welcomed son Leo into the world and only teased her return to presenting on Tuesday evening.

Woods, 37, shared a photo of her and Leo watching Arsenal before being asked by one fan when she would be returning to our television sets. She replied, ‘tomorrow (Wednesday)!’

Woods added that she will be in Paris next week as Mikel Arteta’s men seek to overturn their deficit and reach a first Champions League final since 2006.

‘Hmm. Not the end of the world, but not the best. On to the next. See you in Paris, Gooners,’ she wrote.

The TNT Sports presenter has kept a relatively low profile in recent months as she enjoys the early stages of motherhood.

She recently attended a friend’s wedding with Leo and Collard, the former Love Island star to whom she got engaged in September after 11 months of dating.

Wearing a pink dress for the special occasion, she shared photos with her 749,000 followers as she revealed how finding something to wear had become a challenge since she gave birth.

‘This bridesmaid dress is from Six Stories btw,’ she wrote. ‘Not a gift, I brought it and loved it.

‘Actually wore two of theirs! They’re a lovely business so wanted to give them a shoutout.

‘I find it very difficult to dress since having my little man, unless it’s in a tracksuit. So very grateful I found them.’

Leo also wore a suit for the wedding that matched his dad’s, with Woods adding: ‘And House of Cavani made this little jacket for Leo.’

Woods has fronted TNT Sports’ Champions League and boxing coverage since July 2023.
