Chelsea star Ruben Loftus-Cheek has named Laura Woods as his celebrity crush.
The 27-year-old has been in and out of the Blues side this season, making 27 appearances in all competitions. However, Loftus-Cheek has started in just 16 of those games amid struggles with injury and fitness issues.
But there is no doubt he is an integral member of Graham Potter's side as they aim to qualify for the Champions League next season. They face Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the competition next month.
In the meantime, Loftus-Cheek found some time to speak to Woods on talkSPORT ahead of their game against Aston Villa on Saturday. It is the Blues' first match after the international break and Woods chose to do a quiz-style Chelsea SOS with the England international.
One of the questions involved Woods asking the same question she fired at boxer Anthony Joshua recently: 'Who is your celebrity crush?' Joshua revealed that his ideal woman is singer Beyonce - but Loftus-Cheek chose differently.
After being quizzed by Woods, Loftus-Cheek said: "Laura Woods!" The ITV presenter laughed in hysterics and responded by saying: "An exceptional answer!"
Woods signed off from the interview by admitting: "It’s been an absolute pleasure and I'll get your number later!" Loftus-Cheek was said to be dating 2017 Love Island star Amber Davies in 2021 but it relationship status is currently unknown.
There was also a question aimed at who would give the best dating advice from the Chelsea squad. Again, Loftus-Cheek threw a curveball and revealed it would be Marc Cucurella.
"Maybe [Marc] Cucurella," he laughed, before adding: "I need some advice on how to make her laugh." Cucurella was also the answer when Loftus-Cheek was asked about his preferred quiz partner at Chelsea.
This isn't the first time Woods has been openly praised by a celebrity. She savagely rejected an offer from 2018 Love Island contestant Charlie Brake after he asked her out for dinner.
After Arsenal's 3-1 win over West Ham in December, Woods took to social media to comment on Ben White's performance after he made his first start since leaving the England World Cup camp.
Woods tweeted: " Ben White is magic," to her 662,000 followers. In response, Brake tried his luck in the comments. Brake responded: "You're magic," complete with a wand emoji.
She then replied with three laughing emojis and a simple: "Thank you Charlie." But Charlie was not done there, though, as he added: "Dinner?"
However, Woods politely shut down the invite. She said: "I'm not hungry but thank you." Brake didn't seem too fussed as he added an extra tweet a day later, writing: "If you don’t buy a ticket you don’t win the raffle."
