Woods was announced as TNT Sports' new football presenter in July, around two months after she was first rumoured with the gig. She will lead the broadcaster's coverage of the Champions League and host the occasional Premier League fixture. TNT Sports launched last month following a merger between BT Sport and Warner Bros. Discovery. Several pundits from BT Sport's football coverage have been kept on by TNT Sports, such as Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand. Woods discussed the role with Ferdinand ahead of the new football season. TNT Sports' lead pundit asked how she was offered the job, with Woods describing the speculation as her "comeuppance" for speculating about transfer rumours in her previous job. Woods was first linked with the role in May after Jake Humphrey, who was BT Sport's lead football presenter, announced his decision to step down after the Champions League final. Speculation grew in June when Woods quit talkSPORT's breakfast show. Woods was finally announced as TNT Sports' new lead football presenter last month. Although it's easy to assume she was always going to get the job, Woods insists the process wasn't that simple. "It wasn't immediate," she told Ferdinand. "But it (talks) did go quickly once it started to move. There were a lot of rumours before I was approached, to be honest. I was like, well, this is my comeuppance!

I was like, 'We're not talking about it!' to my producers." Woods has established herself as one of the most popular presenters in English football in recent years. She worked){kind=link}
