And pitchside reporter Becky Ives shared a video of Woods working away off camera as she prepared for a segment of the show.

Woods could be seen crouched down while talking into her microphone as she analysed the notes on her screen.

There was also a camera showing her Newcastle’s Champions League group.

And Ives added the caption: “Not as easy as it looks.”

There was a touching moment earlier in the day when former talkSPORT colleagues Woods and Ally McCoist reunited backstage.

McCoist was one of three pundits who joined Woods for TNT Sports’ broadcast.

The others were Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand and ex-Newcastle midfielder Jermaine Jenas.

But Ferdinand, 45, was not present for the post-match analysis after he was taken ill.

During the live coverage, Woods said: “Rio would be here to chat about Manchester United now but we had to let him go [due to] unforeseen circumstances.

“He is OK, don’t worry.”

McCoist stepped in for the ex-England defender after commentating on the game.

Ferdinand is now understood to be feeling better and will return on Wednesday night to cover Man Utd’s match against Galatasaray.
