Alex Scott has relived her own England heartache from a match against Germany 13 years ago as she gets ready to appear as a BBC pundit for Sunday's Euros final.
Alex played for the Lionesses 140 times, including at the 2012 Olympics, before retiring in 2017 and receiving an MBE for her services to football. Since pulling on an England jersey for the last time, the 37-year-ol d has gone onto appear as a contestant on Strictly and is now a well known face on the BBC, fronting shows like The One Show and Children in Need.
Over the last few weeks she has been a regular in the BBC studio for the Women's European Championships, joining the likes of Gabby Logan and Ian Wright to oversee the live football action. After the final blew on England's sensational 4-0 over Sweden, Alex battled with emotion as she explained to host Gabby what it would mean for everyone involved with the England team to have made the final, saying: "It's hard for me not to get emotional right now, because the amount of investment and everything that has gone into the women's game is for a moment...for this team to get to Wembley is something special."
