Ever-present football presenter Laura Woods enjoyed a remarkably lucrative year after swapping talkSPORT for TNT Sports, accounts have revealed.
The 38-year-old, who returned to UK screens in April after just three months away following the birth of her first child, saw her wealth increase from £635,000 to £1.5million from January to December 2024, a report has claimed.
Additionally, paperwork from her company, The Pig and I Limited – established in 2014 – reveal her assets now exceed £1m.
This has been boosted by the eye-watering pay rise she received after ditching talkSPORT in favour of heading up TNT Sports’ Champions League coverage.
She now reportedly pockets a tidy £800,000-per-year salary, up from the paltry quarter of a million she annual wage she earned from her former employers.
According to The Sun, Woods’ assets include £1.2m in the bank and she shelled out £300,000 in tax while only paying herself a dividend of just £1,000.

Last month, Woods left her TNT Sports colleagues stifling their laughter on a live broadcast with a rogue slip of the tongue.
The presenter was leading the post-game dissection of Liverpool’s late 3-2 win over Atletico Madrid when she said: ‘Diego Simeone, obviously quite a fiery character, he got himself sent off after the winner from Virgin…. Virgil van Dijk.’
Woods immediately realised the unfortunate mistake and laughed before regaining her composure.
Her pundits on duty for the night, Steve McManaman and Michael Owen could be heard sniggering in the background.
Fortunately the footage at the time was a replay of an Atletico Madrid goal so viewers were unable to see the full reaction to Woods blunder.
When the camera does switch back to the pitch-side set-up with all three on screen, Owen and Woods still appeared to be smirking.
