The broadcast quickly faded to black, and when it returned, former England women’s field hockey player Katie Shanahan had reportedly taken over.
Woods took to social media to update viewers on her condition, noting that medical staff believed she collapsed as a result of “a weird virus.”

“Gosh that was a bit weird. Sorry to worry everyone, I’m OK, the wonderful paramedics at Saints have said it’s probably a weird virus, just need a bit of rest & hydration,” she said in a post shared to her Instagram Stories.
