Laura Woods shares bizarre fan request while hosting ITV’s FA Cup coverage but admits ‘I liked it’
LAURA WOODS was asked to sign a fan’s tattoo while on presenting duty last night.
The popular host was at Sheppey United for their FA Cup first round clash with Walsall.
Woods presents coverage of huge Champions League matches for TNT Sports, but also seems to enjoy mixing it with lower league clubs.
While at the game, Woods was presented with an Arsenal tattoo on a fan’s calf to sign.
She willingly did so, and even stopped for a selfie in front of it.
The 36-year-old posted the snap to her Instagram account, writing: “Never signed an Arsenal tattoo before, but I liked it.”
Woods then added a laughing emoji.
She witnessed an amazing FA Cup moment, when James Bessey-Saldanha’s stunning 21st minute strike gave Sheppey the lead.
The eighth-tier side’s joy was short lived, however, with League Two Walsall hitting back to win 4-1.
It’s been another amazing week for Woods.
