The appearance included a scripted, light-hearted moment where Lineker began to open the broadcast himself, much to the amusement of the regular host. "Thank you very much for joining us on ITV for this one. Another day, another game, another channel," Lineker stated before Woods comically interjected to reclaim her role. Lineker quickly joked, "Sorry, sorry. Old habits!"
