Laura Woods’ Cheeky Offer Leaves Joe Marler Blushing

Laura Woods, a renowned sports broadcaster, recently left rugby legend Joe Marler blushing with a cheeky offer on live air. This incident occurred during an episode of talkSPORT’s Sports Breakfast show, where Woods announced her departure as the show’s host.

Marler’s Farewell Tribute

During the show, Marler paid an emotional tribute to Woods, expressing his sadness at her departure. He said, “My tummy hurts with sadness and butterflies on my commute train in on a Wednesday morning. It is just not going to be the same, Laura! You’re selfish, really selfish!”

Woods’ Cheeky Offer

Woods then surprised Marler with a playful offer. “Joe, I’ll call you up and you can have a private show!” she said. Marler responded with a jest, “Erm! I hope to lord that my wife is not listening to this. To which Woods assured him, “Tell her all I am going to do is read the headlines.”

A Lighthearted Moment

Woods’ offer brought laughter to the show. She thanked Marler for his entertainment and acknowledged that their conversations often veered off-topic. “Joe, thanks for coming on. You have provided a lot of entertainment for us on this show. You have also made us miss break times, we have covered absolutely nothing in 30 minutes. Here’s the rugby expert and we have spoken about something completely different, soft play. It’s been great. Have you enjoyed it?”

Woods’ Departure

Woods’ departure from talkSPORT is a significant event for the station. She has been a valued member of the team for six years, hosting the breakfast show for the past three. In a statement, Woods expressed her gratitude to the listeners and her colleagues, acknowledging the special bond she has with them.

“You lot, our listeners, have given me so much comfort and guided me through some of my toughest moments, without even realizing it. So I wanted to thank you personally for that. I will miss it dearly. Even the Spurs fans. For what feels like a lifetime I’ve been a listener of talkSPORT. For the last six years it’s been my home, where we get to spend our mornings talking about sport. There’s nothing better. I know I will never find a job like this. It’s unique.”

Woods’ departure marks the end of an era at talkSPORT. Her wit, passion, and dedication have made her a fan favorite. The station and its listeners will undoubtedly miss her presence on the airwaves.
