Woods was taken off hosting duties and replaced by Katie Shanahan, who was initially working as pitchside reporter for the game.
Informing viewers after the programme returned, Shanahan said: "As you have probably noticed, we don't have the wonderful Laura Woods because she's just been taken ill, but she's in very good hands, so I'm stepping in at late notice."
Shortly after, Woods' fiance and father of her child, Adam Collard, took to social media to update fans on her health.
On X, the former Love Island star wrote: "Laura is all ok and with the right people. Thank you for all of your kind messages."
ITV are yet to officially comment on the matter.

Formerly of Sky Sports, DAZN and talkSPORT, Woods also works for TNT Sports and regular hosts the broadcaster's Champions League coverage.
She took a break from presenting while presenting and gave birth to baby boy Leo Ernie in January this year before returning to our screens in April.
