Ruben Loftus-Cheek revealed his celebrity crush is talkSPORT host Laura Woods in a hilarious interview on Wednesday. The 27-year-old has seen minutes restricted this campaign, starting just 16 games amid fitness and injury concerns, although he did start three straight Premier League matches shortly before the international break.
Despite that, he remains a core part of Graham Potter's squad, and could play a key role in the Blues' Champions League quarter-final against Real Madrid next month. Amid the preparations for the hectic two-month run-in, Loftus-Cheek found some time to speak to Woods ahead of their game against Aston Villa on Saturday.
The England international took part in a quiz-style 'Chelsea SOS' with the radio presenter. One of the questions saw Woods pose the question "Who is your celebrity crush?", after doing likewise to Anthony Joshua in a recent interview, with the boxer choosing signer Beyonce.

However, Loftus-Cheek chose differently as he named the woman who had posed him the question. "Laura Woods," the midfielder exclaimed, before 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." While Loftus-Cheek was reportedly dating 2017 Love Island star Amber Davies in 2021, his current relationship status is unknown.
That wasn't the only curveball he threw during the interview, as he claimed defender Marc Cucurella would be the Chelsea teammate best placed to give dating advice in the squad. Answering Woods' question, he laughed: "Maybe [Marc] Cucurella," 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.
