World Cup couple fell for each other at college before 'fate' reunited them with England

World Cup couple Holly Aitchinson and Hannah Botterman have revealed they fell love with each other in college, before 'fate' reunited their relationship after being selected for England. Both Aitchinson and Botterman were selected to represent England at this year's World Cup in New Zealand.

But their relationship began long before their international call-ups having first met at college back in 2015. The pair both attended Hartpury College and formed a relationship, before splitting a year later after Aitchison 'struggled to come to terms with her sexuality'.

The pair were then reunited after Aitchison joined Saracens in 2020, before both being selected in Simon Middleton's Red Roses squad.
