Laura Woods reveals weirdest DM she has ever received as fan resorted to sick tactics to bag date with her
LAURA WOODS has revealed the weirdest DM she has received from a fan.
The sports broadcaster is a favourite among footy supporters and has built up a big following during her career which has seen her become the lead Champions League presenter for TNT Sport.
Woods, 36, rose to prominence during her tenure with Sky Sports and talkSPORT and is currently hosting ITV's coverage of the Women's World Cup.
However, due to her increased profile, she also garners unwanted attention from fans trying to get her attention.
She has now revealed the weirdest DM sent to her as one fan used sick tactics to try and earn a date.
She told : "There was this era where this guy used to send around this picture - and I've seen it in other places, it wasn’t just in my DMs - but it was a picture of someone's nan in a cage, like a life-size cage.

"And he would say, ‘Laura, my nan's hungry, she wants to get out of the cage. But I'll only let her out if you go for a drink with me.’
"I'd read it and not reply, obviously.
"And then he would come back a week later and go, ‘She's still in there. Laura, please let her out.’"
Woods however did confirm that the nan is "still in the cage" as the fan's attempts to woo her were unsuccessful.

She did insist though that it was "one of many" weird DMs that have been sent to her.
Earlier this year she hilariously told how a fan tried to used CRISPS to win a date with her.
Woods asked on social media: “Is it true that all crisps go off on a Saturday?”
To which the fan brilliantly responded saying: “It is true Laura, I worked for Walkers back in the day.
“If you want to go into more detail drop me a DM, we can go for a meal and talk about it”
TNT LAUNCH
During the TNT launch event, Woods admitted that she was a bit nervous about her new job but insisted that it would be "really great".
She said: "It is a little bit nerve-wracking when you get a new job. And it’s also such a big launch. I do feel a little bit overwhelmed.
"But I think that when it actually gets down to it, and we can all kind of do our proper jobs and things like that.
"I think it'd be really great."
