The victorious England football team who were crowned European champions this summer have been honoured for inspiring the nation at the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards 2022. The Lionesses took to the stage alongside community heroes from up and down the country at the glittering event, while their own heroes were in the star-studded audience.
Awards host Carol Vorderman asked Lioness Jill Scott - rumoured to be heading out to the jungle for this year's I'm A Celebrity - what it was like to face constant questions about why she wanted to play football when she was growing up, and what inspired her to become a Lioness.
Jill said: "Obviously Frank Lampard's here, he was my hero growing up. David Beckham, Steven Gerrard - so obviously the men's football really inspired me. And it's just so good that we did get winning form this summer with this incredible group of players and staff."
