But she is set to switch to a different broadcaster ahead of the Paris Olympics, which gets underway with the opening ceremony on July 26.
Woods, 37, is part of Discovery Plus’ presenter team for the Olympic Games.
She will appear on Eurosport UK as part of a team that boasts 19 Olympic and Paralympic medals between them.
That includes two-time gold medal winner James Cracknell, as well as two-time taekwondo medalist Lutalo Muhammad.
Gold medalist Tom Daley will also feature once he finishes competing – the Brit is aiming to defend the 10m synchronised diving goal medal he won in Tokyo.
Woods will lead coverage of the opening ceremony alongside Craig Doyle live from Paris.
She will also host Bonsoir Paris, Eurosport’s daily evening show which will air at 9pm.
Guests will discuss the key events of the day alongside Woods, while fellow presenter Orla Chennaoui will host the morning show.
