Laura Woods will leave her role as host of talkSPORT’s Sports Breakfast show at the end of this month.

The 35-year-old presenter, who has hosted the flagship show since 2020, confirmed the news on Wednesday.

“You lot, our listeners, have given me so much comfort and guided me through some of my toughest moments, without even realising it," she said. "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 added: “Three years as the host of this amazing breakfast show, three bits of silverware for the trophy cabinet and record listening figures. I’m very proud of what we achieved here. One thing’s for sure: I will always be part of this family at talkSPORT.”

Liam Fisher, who is the Head of talkSPORT, paid tribute to the former Sky Sports host.

“Since first featuring on talkSPORT in 2017 Laura has emerged as one of the brightest stars of sports media. Her warmth, knowledge and love of sport have shone through and made her always connect with our 3.6 million weekly listeners," he said.

“Her relationship with her fellow presenters like Ally McCoist and Gabby Agbonlahor and the galaxy of stars she has interviewed over the last three years as Breakfast host have created a fantastic listen every morning.

“I’m pleased that Laura will remain a part of the talkSPORT family.”

Woods' final Breakfast show will be on Wednesday 28th June.

It was revealed last month that Woods has held 'positive talks' with BT Sport to present their live Premier League coverage next season, when they rebrand as TNT Sports.

From July 2023 onwards, TNT Sports will 'continue the spirit' of what BT Sport has built over the past decade after American company Warner Bros Discovery, which also owns Eurosport, bought the group.

Woods, meanwhile, is said to have held talks with BT Sport, according to Daily Mail, who say the company are 'confident' she will join when they rebrand to TNT.

It is understood that the offer to Woods includes presenting live matches, as well as involvement in other programming.

The 35-year-old, who also works for DAZN, ITV and Amazon Prime Video, started with Sky as a runner in 2009 and gradually worked her way up to becoming a permanent fixture on TV screens.
