Laura Woods left stunned by bizarre Arsenal fan request during FA Cup clash – and she obliged

Laura Woods is a celebrity in her own right, so the talkSPORT legend is well-accustomed to autograph and selfie requests.

But one Arsenal fan managed to stun the sports presenter with a request she had never heard before.

Woodsy was at Sheppey United to host ITV's coverage of the FA Cup first-round clash with Walsall.

And she wasn't the only Gooner in Kent for the battle of the lower leagues.

One Gunners supporter presented Woodsy with an Arsenal tattoo on his calf and asked her to sign it.

The 36-year-old happily obliged and posed for a photo in front of the bloke's leg for her Instagram.

She posted a laughing emoji and wrote: "Never signed an Arsenal tattoo before, but I liked it."

Woodsy rose to fame on talkSPORT's Breakfast show before an emotional farewell earlier this year.

The ever-popular presenter was rewarded for a hugely successful year with the Sports Presenter of the Year award on Thursday night.

She said: "Oh wow. Broadcast Sports Presenter of the Year 23’ for my work with @itvfootball - it couldn’t feel more special to me.

"Thank you to my whole family at ITV, both in front and behind the camera for having all the faith in the world in me and for making this job so incredibly fun and rewarding!

"You can’t win anything without the hard work of an entire team and I adore you.
