Laura Woods was left hailing an adorable gift from Mikel Arteta as the Arsenal fan prepares to welcome her first child.
The TNT Sport host announced that she was pregnant with partner Adam Collard in July. The pair were then engaged in September.
Writing in a post on Instagram, Woods said: “And just like that… You make me happy @adamcollard. Thank you @carbisbayestate – the place we fell in love and now the place we got engaged, you made it so special. What a summer x.”
Still firmly at work, Woods was given a heart-warming gift by the club she supports. She shared a video of her meeting Mikel Arteta after Wednesday’s Champions League win against Monaco.

The duo shared a brief chat before the Spanish boss handed over a red, Arsenal-branded shopping bag. Woods captioned the video “my club,” before writing “this was amazing, thank you”.
Woods then revealed exactly what she had been given - an Arsenal onesie covered in the Gunners’ iconic cannon, a gift she labelled as “too cute”. Woods and Collard initially went public with their romance in October 2023.
The former Love Island contestant previously revealed that he was planning on starting a family with Woods, 37. He said: “I'm protective, whether it's Laura, or my family, my friends.
“I want to get married. I want to have kids as well. I've always thought, what type of person will I be? How can I protect my kids?
“Obviously I've never had a kid, but I don't think I'll be plastering it all over [social media]. I want them to have a fair fight and a chance not to be judged straight away.

“As long as my really close circle knows exactly who I am, I don't care. I think you have to take everything with a pinch of salt.”
Woods will certainly be hoping to get another present from the Gunners this weekend: three points. Arsenal return to Premier League action against Everton at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
A victory for the North London side could be huge given the battle for the title they find themselves in. Arteta’s side sit third and six points behind current leaders Liverpool.
They could potentially halve that deficit with a win against Everton, while the Reds are in action against Fulham. Current runners-up Chelsea welcome Brentford to Stamford Bridge on Sunday evening.
