Joe Marler jokes he hopes wife isn't listening after Laura Woods' slip of the tongue

Things were getting emotional in the talkSPORT studio on Wednesday as Woodsy took charge of her final show.

Laura is leaving her role as Breakfast host, which has been listened to and enjoyed by millions over the years.

After three years of laughter, top punditry and sport analysis, Woods is signing off and will be dearly missed - not least by Harlequins prop Marler.

The rugby star was calling in on Wednesday and was heartbroken to see Woodsy leave, in his typical jovial manner.

He started by addressing Gabriel Agbonlahor and Ally McCoist, who were also present in the studio, saying live on air: "Gabby, Ally, good morning, obviously. But this isn't about you."

McCoist replied: "We will make it about us, Joe!"

And Marler jokingly replied: "Don't you dare!

"My tummy hurts with sadness and butterflies on my commute train in on a Wednesday morning.

"It is just not going to be the same, Laura! You're selfish, really selfish!"

Woods replied in jest saying: "Joe, I'll call you up and you can have a private show!"

Eyes darted across the studio with the foursome in fits of giggles and Marler replied: "Erm! I hope to lord that my wife is not listening to this."

As the studio erupted into laughter, Woods insisted: "Tell her all I am going to do is read the headlines!

"Joe, thanks for coming on. You have provided a lot of entertainment for us on this show.

"You have also made us miss break times, we have covered absolutely nothing in 30 minutes.

"Here's the rugby expert and we have spoken about something completely different, soft play. It's been great. Have you enjoyed it?"

A devilish Marler said with a twang of sarcasm: "That's your fault! Not mine!

"I have always come on with notes on rugby union with details on all the stories and it is you that always distracts it!"

Putting on an outrageous Scottish accent, Marler continued: "And then Ally is there fueling it away, like 'eet, eet, pal, how ya doin'?"
