Alex Scott has spoken for the first time about her secret long-term relationship with fellow Lioness Kelly Smith, saying she fell “madly and deeply in love” with the striker as a young player.
The BBC star, now 37, will speak candidly about their romance in her new memoir, How (Not) To Be Strong, and her subsequent heartache when they split - but says she wouldn’t change a thing.
At the time, both women had their demons. Kelly, who is six years older than Alex, was in the grip of alcoholism while Alex’s traumatic upbringing with her controlling father had left her vulnerable.
