Laura Woods has returned to TV screens for the first time since her shocking collapse live on air - fronting TNT Sports' coverage of Manchester City's clash with Real Madrid this evening.
The popular presenter, 38, was hosting ITV4's broadcast of the Lionesses' clash against Ghana on December 2 at St Mary's Stadium when she suddenly took ill and collapsed forward.
Arsenal legend Ian Wright and fellow pundit Anita Asante reacted swiftly to catch her before cameras cut away in a worrying ordeal that sparked concern among viewers.
Woods, who was replaced on the night by stand-in presenter Katie Shanahan, delivered a positive update after the incident - revealing she was in good health after being treated.
'Gosh that was a bit weird. Sorry to worry everyone, I'm OK. The wonderful paramedics at Saints have said it's probably a virus, just need a bit of rest and hydration,' she wrote.
And it appears that those remedies were just the tonic for Woods, who is pitch-side at the Santiago Bernabeu alongside pundits Steven Gerrard, Joleon Lescott and Steve McManaman for City's blockbuster Champions League clash.

She is joined on air by commentators Darren Fletcher and Ally McCoist and reporter Jules Breach.
Woods said in the aftermath of the collapse that she was 'really embarrassed that [the collapse] happened on TV' but offered a 'big thank you to my colleagues at ITV who have really looked after me tonight'.
'And to Wrighty and Neets for catching me. And sorry again,' she added.
Wright, who ensured Woods didn't hit the ground when she fell at St Mary's Stadium, opened up on the 'worrying' incident while speaking to Gary Neville, Roy Keane, Jamie Carragher and Jill Scott on The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet.
'She's fine. I got a message from her this morning. It was worrying at the time but she's fine. People have been really nice about it. I'm glad she's okay,' the Gunners hero said.
Joking, Keane said: 'I'm guessing she's not the first woman to fall into your arms Ian. That's just your knack.
'She's okay and that's all that matters, that's the most important thing, obviously. You'll get a knighthood or an award for that, Wrighty.'
Woods's fiancé and former Love Island star Adam Collard, 30, said on X after the incident: 'Laura is all ok and with the right people. Thank you for all of your kind messages.'
TNT Sports wrote: 'Everyone at TNT Sports would like to send Laura Woods our very best wishes. Get well soon, Woodsy.'
Woods is a regular on ITV and TNT Sports, where she presents coverage of the men's Champions League.
The presenter gave birth to a baby boy, Leo, with Collard in January and took a break from presenting before returning in April.
Collard, known for his controversial stints on Love Island and then Celebrity SAS, and Woods went public with their relationship after they began dating October 2023.
They got engaged in September 2024 after the 30-year-old proposed on a beach in St Ives, Cornwall.
