LAURA WOODS joked she was “pied” by former Paris Saint-Germain star Jay-Jay Okocha during the Champions League final coverage.

Presenter Woods, 37, was joined by the former Bolton star after PSG smashed Inter Milan 5-0 in Munich live on TNT Sports.

Jay-Jay Okocha’s exit from his live TV interview left Laura Woods embarrassed

Okocha initially came over to take a picture with Woods’ co-stars, Rio Ferdinand, Steven Gerrard and Owen Hargreaves.

And Woods – who has returned to presenting duties after having a baby with former Love Island star Adam Collard – invited the Premier League cult hero to chat with the panellists, who he used to play against.

He revealed he was “amazed” by the scoreline and happy for his former club, who won their first ever Champions League trophy in style.

After two minutes of talking, Okocha shook the three ex-footballers hands, before missing Woods out.

The former talkSPORT host even stretched her arm out for handshake after thanking the 51-year-old for his impromptu interview.

But Okocha seemingly missed it, instead passing Woods’ hand while saying goodbye to Ferdinand, before turning to the rest of the lads.

But the ever-professional host saw the funny side of Okocha’s mishap and said, while laughing: “Why do I always get pied.

“And it’s not even meant. Anyway brilliant.”

Since then, Woods replied to TNT’s post on X with: ” Why always me .”

The new mum also released pre-show footage where she dropped an F-bomb at Ferdinand for ruining her practice intro.

Woods later issued a heartfelt farewell to Ferdinand on his final TNT Sports appearance.

The Manchester United legend is stepping away from the broadcaster after 10 years as a pundit.

Meanwhile, Kate Abdo was substituted off during CBS Sports’ coverage of the Champions League final.

The popular presenter, 43, was replaced by colleague Anita Nneka Jones during the build-up to the match.

Two goals by Desire Doue in addition to strikes by Achraf Hakimi, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu sealed a dominant win for PSG,
