Who is Laura Woods?
Laura Woods, born July 2, 1987, is an English presenter who leads TNT Sports‘ and ITV’s coverage.
Prior to becoming a recognised face in the world of sport, Woods went to Kingston University where she studied print journalism – and it was there she was compiling match reports for the student newspaper.
However, it wasn’t long before fate intervened – landing Laura a stunning sporting opportunity – work experience.
The presenter bagged the spot after she went travelling and by chance met a fellow traveller who had spent time completing work experience at Sky Sports.
Woods then got the contact details of the HR department and before she knew it she was offered a week’s worth of work experience on Soccer AM.
Following her stint at Soccer AM, Laura went on to climb the ranks at Sky – starting out as a runner before landing a job as an editorial assistant.
And it wasn’t long before she swapped standing behind the camera for a role in front of one.
Since then Laura has trailblazed sports broadcasting with the likes of Gary Neville, holding her own as the main presenter for talkSPORT’s breakfast show until June this year.
Therefore, it comes as no surprise that she has amassed an impressive estimated £2 million fortune – making her one of the wealthiest TV hosts in the UK.
As of October 2023, Laura, who is also an Arsenal supporter, has an impressive 740K followers on Instagram and 760.7K followers on X (formerly Twitter).
Who is Laura Woods’ father, Steve Woods?
Woods was born to parents Steve and Michelle.
The couple later split when Laura was young – with the presenter previously revealing that seeing them both in different relationships was ”unsettling”.
Like his daughter, Steve also enjoyed a career in the world of sport as a former English cricket player.
Who is Laura Woods’ mother, Michelle Woods?
Michelle Woods is the popular presenters mum – and she too had a shared love for sports.
During her career, Michelle coached rugby.
Aside from this information, not much else is known about Woods’ parents – with the pair appearing to prefer sport over the spotlight.
Does Laura Woods have any siblings?
Also part of the Woods brood are Laura’s two older siblings – brothers Paul and Luke.
In September 2023, Woods previously spoke of her siblings and their connection to sport.
In an interview after she was named one of Karen Millen’s ‘Power Women’, Laura told the brand: ”Passion for sport started for me when I was very very young.
“It was something my mum threw me and my brothers into all the time to get us out the house.”
Similarly to their parents, not much else is known about Laura’s siblings.
