The pair watched the first leg of the semi-final against PSG together at home last night.
But she shocked fans during the game by announcing she would make a comeback to the screens for TNT Sports’ coverage of Barcelona vs Inter.
Woods kicked off the programme at 7pm with a pre-recorded monologue setting the scene for the highly-anticipated semi-final.
She then went live with Steve McManaman and Owen Hargreaves in the London studios.
And when McManaman made a slight mix-up regarding the stage of the tournament, Woods â decked out in a long-sleeve black outfit â joked it was “me who missed the quarter-finals”;.
She then cheekily quipped that every English person is an Arsenal fan because they are the only Premier League team left in the Champions League â prompting sniggers from the two pundits.
Woods took to her Instagram story earlier on Wednesday afternoon with a picture of her mum and Leo waving her off through the window to head to the TNT studios.
She then added another snap â understood to be her dressing room door with her name on a Champions League-themed background, captioning the image with a series of love-heart emojis.
Woods also revealed she will be in Paris next week for the second leg of the Arsenal tie, where she will be desperately hoping the Gunners can overturn the 1-0 deficit and book their place in May’s Munich final.
That is understood to be her first live presenting gig at a stadium since hosting TNT’s coverage of Arsenal vs Monaco in the league phase at the Emirates on December 11.
