BBC Sport’s Alex Scott makes surprise appearance at the Grammys: ‘I’m like a big kid, I’m so excited’

BBC Sport pundit Alex Scott made a surprising appearance at Sunday night’s Grammy Awards as she walked the red carpet in a silver halterneck dress.

The former Lioness, 38, was seen posing up a storm in her striking David Koma look at the star-studded event in Los Angeles.

Taking to her Instagram to document her glitzy evening, the TV star shared several photos of herself glammed up and admitted she had to “pinch herself” as she made her way to the Crypto.com Arena.

The former footballer also shared a video of herself from the back of her chauffeur-driven car as she made her way to the annual awards, which were hosted by Trevor Noah.

Sitting in the car, the sportswoman spoke to her camera and admitted: "I’m like a big kid, I’m so excited!"

After the festivities, Scott let her hair down at Universal Music’s after party with pals as she showcased a table full of drinks, toasting to an incredible experience.

Earlier in the evening, the British star witnessed Beyonce make history by becoming the most decorated Grammy musician of all time after she picked up her 32nd gong in a glittering ceremony.

The pop superstar, 41, made history as she won the best dance/electronic music album award for her latest album Renaissance.

This took the number of Grammys she has won during her two-decade career to 32 – one higher than the previous record which was held by the late Hungarian-British conductor Georg Solti.

Meanwhile, the biggest gong of the night – album of the year – went to Harry Styles for his third album Harry’s House, beating both Beyonce and Adele.

Sam Smith won best pop duo/group performance for their chart-topping hit Unholy with trans artist Kim Petras, who also made history for becoming the first transgender woman to win.

Adele won the Grammy award for best pop solo performance for her song Easy On Me.

Lizzo beat Beyonce, Adele and Styles to record of the year with About Damn Time.

A shocked Bonnie Raitt took home the Grammy for song of the year, which was presented by US First Lady Jill Biden.

Kendrick Lamar won the Grammy for best rap album, for Mr Morale & The Big Steppers, while best country album went to Willie Nelson for A Beautiful Time.

Meanwhile, Viola Davis earned coveted EGOT status after winning her first Grammy award.
