During a recent episode of the talkSPORT Breakfast Show, Laura Woods found herself in an awkward situation when Arsenal legend Ray Parlour asked her a cheeky question. The conversation had taken a turn away from football and towards what the hosts wear to bed. Woods had advertised the Virgin Radio show hosted by Chris Evans or Graham Norton, which was promoted using a picture of them in matching pyjamas. This sparked a chat about pyjamas, which led to Parlour asking Woods what she wears to bed. She responded by saying that she always wears Arsenal pyjamas, both top and bottoms.
West Ham hero Carlton Cole was also on the show and was left baffled at the thought of wearing pyjamas to bed. He believed that you would get too hot, but Woods disagreed, stating that you should always wear the matching set. Cole was then poked fun at as it was suggested that he wears either West Ham or David Moyes clothes to bed. He giggled and said that he just wears boxers.
As Parlour continued to joke about Woods’ pyjamas, she quipped that they should keep that conversation for the break as off-air is off-air and Ray Parlour isn’t. The presenter then jokingly hit out at her producers, stating that they should not have brought up pyjamas with these two in the room and asking what they thought was going to happen.
Woods and Parlour are close friends after working together for a number of years. She has also referred to the Romford Pele as one of her idols growing up as a young Arsenal fan. Woods recently got flustered on air when Ally McCoist revealed her celebrity crush and was left shocked by a comment a Wrexham player made on her show.
Overall, the conversation about pyjamas was a lighthearted moment on the talkSPORT Breakfast Show. While it may have been awkward for Woods at first, she was able to laugh it off and keep the conversation going. It’s clear that Woods, Parlour, and Cole have a good rapport and are able to joke around with each other on air. This is what makes the show so entertaining for listeners.
