Dan Walker replaced on NFL show as he steps down from hosting role TV & Radio | Showbiz & TV

Coverage of American Football will be moving to ITV and as part of the shake-up, Dan Walker will no longer be on presenting duties. The popular sports broadcaster Laura Woods is confirmed to take her place for the new NFL season.

The NFL Show was a huge hit for the BBC, with its light hearted approach mixed with expert analysis proving popular with the ever-growing legions of American Football fans in the UK.

Former professionals Jason Bell and Osi Umenyiroa would join Dan Walker, or previous host Mark Chapman every week to chew over the latest NFL action.

However, the popular team will now be moving over to ITV, after the channel secured rights to the NFL for the next three years.

Jason and Osi will now be joined by host Laura Woods, whose impressive sports broadcasting career goes from strength to strength.

Laura has left Sky Sports as part of the move and will now add the NFL to her sports-presenting repertoire, which includes hosting the biggest Football and Boxing events for the last ten years.

She will now be given the reins to present the Super Bowl to UK audiences, when the monster sporting event returns on February 12, 2023.

Laura has always been a keen viewer of the sport and declared her excitement for the new role with Jason and Osi.

In a statement Laura explained: “I’ve been a fan of the NFL for many years, so, with the new season just weeks away.

“I’m thrilled to be part of the team that will bring ITV viewers its best action and biggest stories every week,” she added.
