Soccer Aid fans say presenter Alex Scott's dress 'leaving them sweating'

Soccer Aid fans have been left distracted by host Alex Scott - saying her choice of outfit tonight has left them 'sweating'.

The sports presenter and former professional footballer appeared live on the ITV event donning a bright red form-fitted dress which has left some viewers 'sweating'. Many fans have pointed out that it might not have been the best dress with temperatures soaring well above the twenties.

Writing on Twitter, @RosieJa36631076 said: "I feel sweaty just looking at @AlexScott in that dress..." Whil @stephpgold wrote: "Alex Scott's dress of choice in this weather is brave! And how is she not sweating. She is just perfection."

However, there was plenty of praise for her style on social media - with some viewers calling her 'stunning'.

@Sshantastic wrote: "Wow Alex Scott looking gorgeous, what a stunning dress." And @NELEX tweeted: "Wow Alex what a fantastic dress your wearing for Soccer Aid."

Alex, 38, spent most of her playing career at Arsenal and played 140 times for England. Since retiring in 2018 she has appeared as a pundit on BBC Sport, BT Sport, and Sky Sports. She also appeared in Strictly Come Dancing in 2019 - finishing fifth.

Speaking ahead of Soccer Aid Alex said: “I think over the last couple of years, it’s been great for Soccer Aid to start including females and off the back of the win last year, with the Lionesses, and for Jill to go into the jungle and win, I think it’s just a natural step for her to be involved this year.”

She continued: “It’s becoming that thing now where young boys and girls will be watching Soccer Aid, or during the World Cup, and it’s not even a thing to see a woman now commentating on a men’s match.

“And this isn’t just a men’s Soccer Aid, it’s for everyone to feel a part of, and that’s what we’re showing.”
