Alex Scott forced to intervene after comment from England Lioness during Euro 2025 trophy celebrations
Alex Scott was forced to intervene following a comment from Chloe Kelly during England's Women's Euro 2025 trophy celebrations outside Buckingham Palace.
England beat Spain 3-1 on penalties in Sunday's final to successfully defend their Euros title.
Once the squad returned home from Switzerland, they were treated to a special reception at Number 10 Downing Street, where Alessia Russo playfully tried to put off Ella Toone.
And on Tuesday, the Lionesses boarded an open-top bus during the procession towards Buckingham Palace.

They took to the stage in front of jubilant fans who came out in droves.
Former footballer-turned-media personality Scott hosted the ceremony and conducted interviews with several players, including Kelly, who scored the winning spot-kick in the shootout.
Just like in her post-match interview, Kelly dropped an F-bomb when reflecting on England's incredible triumph in Basel.
Kelly told the crowd that England's support throughout the tournament was 'so f**king special'.
Speaking to Scott, she said: "(It is) so good to stand side by side with every single one of these girls throughout the whole tournament, and the staff that you don’t see behind the scenes. It’s incredible."
The 27-year-old added: "Thank you to everyone that got out to support us, whether that’s in Switzerland or here today. It’s so f**king special."
Her comment drew rounds of applause and laughter from the crowd.
Scott immediately apologised to the crowd for the colourful language.
Kelly later apologised for her F-bomb.
"Ooops. Emotions got the better of me. Sorry for the F bomb. Love CK," she wrote in a post shared on social media.
Captain Leah Williamson revealed how she cried all the way down The Mall, saying: "I'm in the trenches, I'm holding back tears. I've been crying all the way down The Mall."
Russo, who scored in normal time against Spain, added: "Tired, but on cloud nine. I mean, this is just unreal.
"We didn't really know what to expect coming into it today, but everyone was so excited on the bus, and it feels so nice to come back to England and celebrate with our fans."
Asked to describe the scenes in London, she replied: "It's just a bit surreal. It's crazy to see this many people come out in the home of England at London, heading up to Buckingham Palace - it's just crazy. I'd never have dreamed of anything like it."
