Laura Woods: Ivan Yates a tough act to follow

Ivan Yates’s TV3 colleague Laura Woods does not know who will replace him when he departs the station next month.

“He’s leaving in three weeks and I haven’t been told yet who the replacement is so I’m not sure — are they going to bring someone in immediately or are they going to wait until the end of the summer?

“Talks are ongoing at the moment between head of daytime and the other bosses in TV3,” his co-presenter Woods said yesterday.
