Watch hilarious moment Laura Woods cracks cheeky joke live on TNT Sports leaving Ferdinand and Crouch in stitches
LAURA WOODS got the “sniggers” she predicted from Rio Ferdinand and Peter Crouch with a mischievous introduction to TNT Sports’ Champions League coverage.
The popular presenter immediately tackled the unusual name of the Young Boys’ venue for Aston Villa’s historic Champions League night.
Standing on the turn of the Swiss giants’ turf, Woods said: “Hello and welcome along. This is the Wankdorf Stadium. Let’s get it out of the way.
“You two have a snigger and we’ll move on like the professionals that we are.”
The Arsenal supporter was spot on with her assessment of the two Premier League legends standing next to her.
Former Manchester United defender Ferdinand and ex-Liverpool striker Crouch both grinned and burst into laughter.
However, Crouchie appeared to react the strongest.
He wore a huge smile but was almost wincing as he turned his head down and then away from the camera.
In contrast, Villa’s Champions League debut was no joke for Young Boys.
Youri Tielemans and Jacob Ramsey put Unai Emery‘s men in command before half-time.

Amadou Onana then smashed a late clincher on Villa‘s slick return to the elite, with their last appearance at this level coming in the 1982-83 European Cup.
Meanwhile, viewers were as amused by Woods’ opening remarks as they were by the Villans’ farcical second goal.
One responded: “Hahahahahahaha. The way Rio and Crouchy started laughing immediately.”
Another suggested: “Not many better at their job than her.”
And a third posted: “Laura in full bloom.”
But one fan reckoned her comment about the Swiss was hit ‘n miss.
He wrote: “You can actually not mention the stadium name at all…”
