She said in a post: "Just wanted to explain my absence from the telly for a little while, to be totally transparent and avoid any speculation.
"I had an accident last weekend at a holiday cottage. I swung a pillow and hit a large, glass lampshade hanging from the ceiling above me, which shattered and cut my face and arms, but luckily missed my eye."
Woods continued: "It was a hell of a shock and I’ve been a bit sad, but I’m feeling very lucky it wasn’t worse. So a big thanks to my eyebrow too, for taking the brunt of it.
"I’m gutted I can’t cover the fight in Riyadh tomorrow anymore, but wishing the brilliant TNT boxing team all the best. Be back soon xx."
Immediately after Woods shared the above message on social media, well wishers were to quick to offer their best, including a number of familiar faces from the world of sport.
