Laura Woods left a troll who asked if she had sex with footballer Adebayo Akinfenwa reeling as she hit back with a savage reply.
The presenter, 36, inadvertently caused a social media storm when she briefly disappeared out of shot during a talkSPORT live stream back in 2022. She was accused of taking drugs by viewers, to which she responded on Twitter: “Bloody hell… I’m yawning you absolute donuts. It’s a live-streamed breakfast show. Give your heads a wobble.”
Laura was then hit with another claim from a follower who crudely asked: “Is it true about you shagging Akinfenwa ???” She responded: “I waited, but he was too busy with your mother.”
Wycombe Wanderers striker Adebayo, who hosted the Super 6 podcast with Laura, was cracked up by his colleague’s quip. He tweeted “LW is too quick for u,” along with several laughing emojis.

The star received plenty of support after the clip in which some argued she was “sniffing a line” went viral on social media. One person wrote: “Amazing how peoples heads work! Just laugh it off @laura_woodsy, let’s concentrate on beating utd tomorrow #uta.”
“The @laura_woodsy trend shows the best and worst of Twitter comments that range from support and great light hearted banter to over sensitive, moronic (the donuts!) and worst of all, the pond scum who think a rude comment will get them a DM or something #giveyourheadawobble,” commented another.
Another fan replied: “It’s amazing how quickly something as innocent as a yawn can be turned into something far worse. and with a camera on you, I am sure people would still moan about a yawn live. People always find something to bring someone else down to their level.”
Laura, who also works for Sky Sports, has burst onto the scene as a popular presenter in recent years. She has twice been named SJA Sports Presenter of the Year for her work.

She’s back on TV screens as one of the pundits leading the coverage of the 2024 UEFA European Football Championship. The tournament kicked off on Friday, 14 June with Laura among the presenters on ITV covering the first match between Germany and Scotland.
The pundit looked her usual glamorous self as she chatted to former footballer Ally McCoist, but fans were quick to notice she was sporting a scar under her eye. Laura recently opened up about sustaining a severe facial injury in a freak accident while away with boyfriend Adam Collard, which left her needing emergency surgery.
Laura opened up about the accident on Instagram after fans had noticed her absence in the build-up to Tyson Fury’s heavyweight unification bout that took place in Saudi Arabia on Saturday, 18 May. She explained what had happened and thanked the medical staff who helped her.
She told her 756,000 followers: “Just wanted to explain my absence from the telly for a little while, to be totally transparent and avoid any speculation. I had an accident last weekend at a holiday cottage. I swung a pillow and hit a large, glass lampshade hanging from the ceiling above me, which shattered and cut my face and arms, but luckily missed my eye.”
