Laura Woods says she gets the same message from trolls when she shows her feet in photos
The queen of comebacks Laura Woods has opened up about what trolls always comment underneath pictures of her feet.
Yes, not only do we live in a world where people regularly posts pictures of their feet, we also live in a world where people actually comment on what your feet look like.
That being said, only 'five or six years ago' the TNT Sports presenter was making just £30 a day reviewing newspapers for talkSPORT.

Nowadays, the 36-year-old will be heading over to Germany to present the Euros with ITV, having worked with the likes of Amazon Prime Video and Sky Sports over the past few years.
As well as her punditry, the Arsenal supporter is known for her quality comebacks on social media when trolls try to get a rise out of her.
But she admits that being a woman in the industry isn’t easy.
“Because I’m an Arsenal fan, everything I say about Arsenal is clipped up and put on social media," she said on a 2023 episode of Sam Thompson and Pete Wick's podcast Staying Relevant.
“I don’t really feel that qualified, I’m not a pundit.
“The amount of stick I got from Arsenal fans - one of them said ‘you’re not a real supporter’.
“It’s so frustrating.
“There’s some really weird people on social media.
“Someone said ‘Get back in the kitchen’ - the most boring [insult].”
As a retort to this comment by an online user, Woods decided to respond: "'I f**king will get back in the kitchen that I own, in the house that I bought from the job where I earn money.'"
She has sadly become a regular target for trolls, who, among other things, sometimes comment about the appearance of her feet.
“Every time I have no shoes on in a photo - the amount of people that say I’ve got boat feet,” she revealed.
“They’re a size 7, which is the UK average for a woman, by the way.
"'How big are your f**king boats?' And I'm like, 'They're not that big.'"
On replying to negative comments, she added: "I've replied a couple of times [to negative comments] about people's manhood, [...] but it's only ever a retaliation.
"I never understand when people say, 'Oh but you can't say that'.
"Am I a sitting duck? Just because I'm a broadcaster, you're allowed to say anything you want about me and as soon as I reply - and I will win, like I'm very stubborn about things like that - I will f**king fight to the death."
