Former Lioness Alex Scott has opened up about her relationship with teammate Kelly Smith, confirming for the first time that they had a romance.
The TV pundit and former footballer, 37, who played alongside Kelly, 43, during their time with England and Arsenal, has written a memoir in which she takes a candid look back at her life, including her “first love” Kelly. Speaking at a London book launch for How (Not) To Be Strong, Alex said she almost left out the chapter which details their “love story,” but in the end felt it would have been “cheating” to do so.
She said: “I went back and forth on whether I’d actually be writing the chapter. But then it was one of those moments, I’m writing this book and I want to tell everything.
