Presenter Laura Woods appeared to faint while leading the coverage of England’s friendly against Ghana on Tuesday in Southampton.
Woods was caught by pundits Ian Wright and Anita Asante, at which point ITV cut to an advert break.
When the coverage returned, colleague Katie Shanahan had taken over as presenter and confirmed Woods had been “taken ill”.
“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,” said Shanahan.
Woods’ fiance, reality TV personality Adam Collard, later issued an update on the presenter’s condition on social media after fans expressed concern.
“Laura is all OK and with the right people. Thank you for all of your kind messages,” he wrote.
At half-time during the match, Shanahan also added: “As you may all be aware, Laura Woods fell ill at the start of the programme. We want to reassure you that she’s doing OK. We all send her our love.”
Woods is a regular presenter across men’s and women’s football on ITV and TNT Sports.
She has also worked as a radio presenter on Talksport.
BBC Sport has contacted ITV and Woods’ representatives.
