Laura Woods admits she was 'nervous' at the prospect of returning to work post-pregnancy - as the TV presenter reveals her biggest worry
Laura Woods has detailed her experience returning to work after giving birth to her first child. Known for her coverage of football and darts among other sports for Sky, TNT Sport and ITV - Woods stepped away from her on-screen responsibilities last year while pregnant. After giving birth to her son Leo in January with fiance and ex-Love Island contestant Adam Collard by her side, Woods subsequently returned to TV and was part of the coverage of the 2025 Champions League final. Well aware of the way women can be perceived in television based on how they look, the 38-year-old explained that she was living with anxiety surrounding her return to the screen. 'I was nervous about how I looked,' Woods told The Telegraph. 'You put on a lot of weight in pregnancy and you feel a little bit different. 'Of the things I used to worry about, my appearance probably would have been top of that list. But funnily enough that's sort of taken a bit of a back step. I don't care about that as much as I thought I would. 'When I came back I felt quite a level of acceptance of myself I don't think I had before I had a baby. 'My body has been through quite a lot and that is just a reality. However you have your baby, however tricky or easy your pregnancy is, your body will change and you just accept it because you think there's something much bigger going on. My body has done an amazing thing.' 'Now the important thing is that my whole kind of existence is making sure that Leo's existence is great and that I'm looking after him in the best way I can. So things that you think matter do take a back step.' Woods is set to be part of ITV's coverage of this summer's Women's European Championships as England travel to Switzerland intent on retaining their title. Asked about England's chances at the tournament, Woods insisted that the experience of head coach Sarina Wiegman will prove invaluable for the Lionesses. 'I think we always say it, in Sarina we trust,' she added. 'She is a different beast when it comes to tournament football, she is a tournament animal.

Better to lose now than in knockout round, says Germany's Berger
ZURICH, July 13 (Reuters) - Germany goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger was none too pleased with her side's 4-1 humbling by Sweden on Saturday, but said the one consolation was that they were still in the tournament, finishing second in the group and advancing to the quarter-finals despite the heavy defeat. The Germans, who had defender Carlotta Wamser sent off in the 32nd minute for a handball that resulted in a penalty, still progressed to the last eight, where they will face the winners of Group D (either France, England or Netherlands). "I'd rather take a blow now than in the quarter-finals, because then you can't make a comeback anymore," Berger told reporters. "Sometimes in football... it's good to lose, to really know how it is to lose, a real pain, and that sometimes it's just not enough to perform like that." The Germans started brightly and took the lead in the seventh minute but the Swedes hit back five minutes later and proceeded to cause problems for their opponents by creating overloads in wide areas and becoming more direct in their play. The 34-year-old shot-stopper was disappointed by how her team played on the night but said that the performance would not define the eight-time champions as they seek to win a trophy they last lifted in 2013. "It's an opportunity for us. We know how we can play football," she explained, adding that she had no preference for a quarter-final opponent. "Every team is a huge opponent for me. Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland or whatever. For me, the European Championship is one of the hardest tournaments and I just hang in there and that's why, no matter who faces us, they have to fear us."

Sky Sports brings back iconic show five years after axe with surprise choice of name and new presenter
SKY have officially revived its popular 'Sky Sports Sunday Supplement' TV show after nearly half a decade, according to reports. And a surprise face will host the beloved show, which continued in podcast form after being removed from our screens. 1 It was revealed earlier this year that the broadcasting powerhouse would revamp the beloved weekly show, which disappeared from our screens in 2020 after an epic 20-year run. But Sky chiefs, after much deliberation, have decided to bring it back from the dead. And they've opted not to change the name too much, dropping the 'Sky Sports'. It will now, according to the Daily Mail, just be called the 'Sunday Supplement'. And it's set to be presented by the broadcaster's long-time transfer guru Dharmesh Sheth. Sheth has well and truly earned the prestigious gig after 27 YEARS working with Sky. And he's honoured to have been given the opportunity to host the much-loved show. He told The Mail: "To be given the opportunity to present the show is all a bit surreal. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS "And I can't wait to get started." Sunday Supplement regularly saw industry insiders and journalists discuss the latest ongoings in the top-flight and beyond, as well as chat about the stories dominating the back pages. The show, which began back in 1999 under it's previous name 'Hold The Back Page', was initially presented by the late Jimmy Hill.
