Piers Morgan joked Laura Woods has pulled an Alan Brazil following her no-show on talkSPORT Breakfast on Monday.
Woodsy was enjoying the sunshine at Glastonbury and could not make it for the Monday morning show…
Talk TV host Morgan joined stand-in host Sam Matterface, and former Premier League striker Dean Saunders, instead.
“What happened to Laura Woods? Has she pulled an Alan Brazil here? What’s going on?” Morgan told talkSPORT Breakfast.
“The last thing I see is Laura Woods is on the lash at Glastonbury and the next thing I discover, no offence to you two, but I was looking forward to a nice little chat with Laura this morning and discover she is not there.”
Brazil has famously pulled a sickie numerous times during the Cheltenham Festival with his excuses ranging from being locked inside his B&B, eating some dodgy crab and a throat infection.
Back in 2017 he said he needed to save himself for his wife, Jill’s birthday… and that day just so happened to fall on St Patrick’s Day.
Everyone at talkSPORT rejoiced in 2020, however, when he managed to make it to all five days during Cheltenham.
Woodsy should (we hope) be back on talkSPORT on Tuesday morning before he final two shows as talkSPORT Breakfast host.
Her final Breakfast show will be on Wednesday, June 28, and Morgan shared some nice words that hopefully she heard!
He added: “All I was going to say, and I’ll say it in her absence, is that I know it’s her last week on talkSPORT and she’s been absolutely brilliant.
“Laura, in your absence, what I was going to say is thank you for all the brilliant stuff you’ve done over the last three years. It’s been a pleasure to be with you on occasion and to listen to you.
“I wish you the absolute best on your next venture.”
