Alex Scott, the Arsenal Ladies captain turned face of BBC’s football coverage, has hit peak levels of fame.
On Monday, while presenting the England Vs Iran game during the divisive Qatar World Cup, she opted to wear the One Love arm band. The rainbow striped elastic was a statement of anti-discrimination and support of LGBTQ+ rights, in a country which does not have them.
