LAURA WOODS has revealed she is “half” a Newcastle fan ahead of the Toon’s crunch Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.
And the TNT Sports presenter even wore a black and white top while discussing The Magpies’ European hopes.
Eddie Howe’s men made a superb start to their first Champions League campaign in 20 years when they followed up a draw against AC Milan with a breathtaking 4-1 win over PSG at St James’ Park.
But back-to-back defeats to Borussia Dortmund have left them in need of results away at PSG and at home to AC Milan to avoid a group-stage exit.
Ahead of Newcastle’s trip to Paris, a TNT Sports segment saw Woods, Rio Ferdinand, Ally McCoist and Jermaine Jenas discuss their chances against the Ligue 1 champions.
Woods began the debate, asking: “Are we all Geordies tomorrow?”

McCoist confirmed he will be, before Ferdinand pointed at Woods’ black and white striped top and added: “You’re one today.”
Woods, who is now dating Geordie Love Island star Adam Collard, laughed and replied: “I mean, I am always half of one.”
The former talkSPORT host is an Arsenal supporter, but her dad is from Newcastle – meaning the Toon hold a special place in her heart.
They then turned their attention to what they expect to happen in Paris on Tuesday evening.

Woods said: “There was something about that performance at St James’ Park against PSG where it felt like every single one of the Newcastle players was at a different level.”
Ferdinand then replied: “Will they ever get to that feeling again? I think it’s going to be difficult.”
McCoist said: “Newcastle are just now on a crest of a wave, they’re really enjoying it. They’re enjoying the ride, and so they should.
“But I just think you look back to that PSG game, that was absolutely special.”
Before Jenas concluded the clip by adding: “Every time I’ve doubted Newcastle this year, they’ve delivered.
“I don’t see any reason to doubt them.”
The duo later shared a joke pitchside that led to Jenas hilariously threatening to walk off screens.
