      Woods, who made the switch to TNT Sports from talkSPORT, is a hit with followers due to her precise combination of relatability and professionalism.
      But the ace admits she never looks back at clips of herself on the box.
      Woods, who is dating Adam Collard, claims she “hates” watching herself on TV.
      That’s because she finds it “cringe and awkward”.

      And Woods reckons it was her radio spell at talkSPORT that helped her come out of her shell as a presenter.
      The ace told Aimee Fuller’s Monday Mile podcast: “I remember thinking ‘why do you want to be a presenter so much when you can’t read an auto-cue, you’ve got terrible memory, you’re not actually very confident at all’.
      “And when you watch yourself back on screen I couldn’t stand it at all.
      “I still can’t do it, I hate it. I find it really cringe and awkward. My voice sounds different, there’s loads of different things I don’t like.

      “I didn’t understand, I was like you don’t have any of the tools to be a presenter, so then I started going down a different route, it was more off the cuff.
      “I think that’s where I had my little breakthrough, I think that’s what works really well in TV and radio.
      “They don’t really want you to be a puppet or a version of somebody else. They want to know who you are because they want to trust you and get to know you.
      “I’ve really benefitted from that and I feel radio was massive for me. It gave me every opportunity to relax. You can’t be anyone other than yourself for four hours at 6am.” More

      “My older brother is a footballer. My father was a footballer, as was my uncle!”Brothers Alexis and Kevin Mac Allister talk facing each other and it appears football runs in their blood… 👀🎙️ @DannyJamieson pic.twitter.com/cd81Hi3DbX— Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) October 5, 2023

      It was Argentina World Cup winner Alexis, 24, who claimed the bragging rights over his 25-year-old defensive sibling Kevin thanks to goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Diogo Jota.
      The beautiful game certainly runs deep in the family blood.
      The pair’s older brother Francis, 27, is also a professional footballer back home in Argentina and plays in midfield for Rosario Central.
      Their father Carlos, an ex-defender for Argentina and Boca Juniors, and uncle Carlos Patricio, a former forward at Estudiantes de La Plata, both enjoyed impressive careers.

      Meanwhile, their cousin Luciano Guaycochea, 31, is a striker for Malaysian outfit Perak.
      Despite the hard-fought contest out on the famous turf in front of the Kop yesterday, it was all-love afterwards as the brothers got together for a heartfelt post-match interview.
      Alexis, a £52m summer signing for Liverpool from Brighton, told TNT Sports: “It was really nice for the family, very emotional.
      “I’ve played against my older brother before but never against Kevin – it was special.

      “My dad was here too, he knows what it means, he cried a little bit.”
      Kevin added: “He was the reason I suffer today, but it was a very special moment.
      “Of course, Liverpool, maybe in the last match, come to Belgium and we can get revenge maybe.”

      When they were quizzed on whether they were going to swap shirts, Alexis joked: “I don’t know if he wants a shirt from another player!”
      And supporters seemed to absolutely love it after tuning in to the interview.
      “Family is indeed everything,” wrote one viewer on X, formerly known as Twitter.
      Another said: “The way they look at each other and respect each other…. True brotherhood.”
      “Wholesome,” declared another as another social media post read: “This is so refreshing to watch.” More

      Fans spot major TNT Sports blunder ahead of Newcastle vs PSG clash leaving Toon Army furious

      by

      TNT SPORTS have risked the wrath of Newcastle fans by calling their St James’ Park home by its hated former name.The Toon are set to host Paris Saint-Germain in a huge Champions League clash this evening.
      TNT Sports bizarrely listed the game as taking place at the Sports Direct Arena

      The game will be broadcast on TNT Sports, which is carried by Discovery+.
      On the app, the game is bizarrely claimed to be taking place at Sports Direct Arena.
      In November 2011, unpopular former owner Mike Ashley took the bold step of renaming St James’ Park after his Sports Direct company.
      The move infuriated Toon fans, who rallied against it for the next 11 months.

      In October 2012 payday lender Wonga agreed a deal to become the club’s primary commercial sponsor.
      The sponsorship package included the stadium naming rights.
      And rather than calling it the Wonga Stadium, they opted to restore the name back to St James’ Park.
      Upon the club’s Saudi takeover in 2021, Newcastle’s new owners decided to get rid of all Sports Direct branding that still adorned the stadium.

      Many fans noticed TNT Sports’ gaff, with one tweeting: “Is it just me that shudders when the TNT app on Amazon lists the game tonight being played at “The Sports Direct Arena” #NUFC someone sort it please!”
      A second blasted: “@tntsports Wash your mouth out! You can’t be calling our ‘Cathedral on the Hill’ the ‘sports direct arena’ on the biggest night of football our club has had in 20 years. You’ll have a Geordie revolution on your hands.”
      And a third fumed: “Someone needs to do a hell of a lot of explaining…”
      Current Newcastle sponsors Sela staged a stunning drone show over St James’ Park on the eve of tonight’s game.
      During the eight minute display, Newcastle magpie mascot flew across the sky showcasing the shirts of Kieran Trippier, Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali.

      Premier League TV rights for 2025 to 2029 are set to go on sale soon.
      Streaming giants DAZN will be in the bidding this time but it is unclear if they will be able to match Sky and TNT offers.
      However, the Mail also claim that Amazon are considering pulling out of showing football.
      They have been involved in Prem coverage since 2019 and have shown 20 games per season in a three-year deal worth £90m, or £1.5m each game.

      But their deal finishes at the end of the 2024/25 season and the report claims they are not expected to continue their interest.
      This is amid Premier League chiefs planning a reshape to the way they sell TV rights to make more money.
      In the next batch of sales they hope to make £4bn-a-year, an increase from the current £3.47bn.
      A document will soon be reportedly sent to channels informing them of the supposed changes.

      Four-year deals that run from 2025 to 2029 will be on offer, as opposed to the three-year contracts currently in place.
      There is currently 200 games on TV per season and the amount is set to rise to between 250 and 270.
      Despite the increase in matches for fans to watch, there will be fewer packages for channels to bid for with five set to be available rather than seven.
      The extra games per package means all broadcasters will be able to show viewers a more “substantial offering”.
      There could also allegedly be an impact on kick-off times.
      Additional Friday night, Saturday lunchtime and evening, as well as Monday night games are set to be available for channels to acquire.
      There could also supposedly be three slots for matches on Sundays but not necessarily a late evening position previously discussed.
      Sky currently pay £9.8m for each game they show with TNT less at £6.25m. More
