Laura Woods, a well-known sports presenter, recently shared an embarrassing moment where she accidentally kissed darts legend Steve Beaton on the lips. The awkward incident took place after Woods, 38, finished interviewing Beaton, a former BDO world champion known for his striking looks and nickname “Bronzed Adonis.”
While working for Sky Sports, Woods recounted the mix-up that led to the unexpected peck during an appearance on the Happy Hour podcast. She described the situation where she intended to shake Beaton’s hand, but he went in for a hug, resulting in the unplanned kiss on the lips.
Woods humorously explained the encounter, highlighting Beaton’s reputation as a heart-throb in the world of darts. Despite initially feeling mortified by the accidental kiss, she later found amusement in the situation.
Following her departure from Sky Sports in 2022, Woods joined TNT Sports as the chief presenter for boxing and UEFA Champions League coverage a year later. She had previously worked on the talkSPORT breakfast program before leaving in the summer of 2023.
In personal news, Woods welcomed her baby boy Leo with her fiancé Adam Collard, a reality TV star. Tragically, Woods had experienced a pregnancy loss at 11 weeks in the previous year.
On a different note, Collard, a former Love Island contestant, expressed his feelings of guilt over the pregnancy loss on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. He acknowledged his past behavior on dating shows and vowed to show a changed attitude moving forward.
