Frank Skinner says it's 'brilliant' to hear Three Lions sung 'octave higher' by Lionesses

It was the first song on the lips of ­millions as the final whistle blew on the Euros – and the one the victorious Lionesses belted out as they invaded their coach Sarina Wiegman’s press conference and danced on top of her table.

Frank Skinner, who penned ­football's most famous song with David Baddiel and the Lightning Seeds 26 years ago, is just as thrilled their song is being sung across the nation again – as 56 years of hurt finally came to an end.

"And I quite like it an octave higher," he smiles. "It's brilliant. I've always said anyone bringing it home would make me really happy, whether it's the men or the women."
