A 'mystery girl' who went viral following England's Women's Euro 2025 triumph has finally been identified.
England beat Spain on penalties in Sunday's final to successfully defend their Euros title.
Chloe Kelly scored the winning spot-kick and she couldn't contain her excitement in her post-match interview as ITV issued an apology after cutting off part of her x-rated speech.
It's the first time an England side has won a major tournament on foreign soil following their victory in Basel.

Dignitaries descended onto the pitch after the final whistle as Prince William and UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin were involved in the trophy presentation.
A 'mystery girl' was also on stage as she stood alongside Prince William.
The young girl stole the show as she was seen shaking the hands of each player, with her interactions going viral on social media as fans online tried to work out who she was.
Fans on social media remarked how delighted and enthusiastic the little girl looked, and have been speculating on who she might be.
One X user wrote: “The little girl from the #Euro2025 Foundation, stood next to Prince William during the medal ceremony is killing me. Bless her man, fully trying to cut him out of the handshake proceedings.”
A second added: “She was fabulous, totally the most thrilled person ever to be there!"
Well, she has since been named.
According to German outlet 20 Minuten, the girl is a 12-year-old Portuguese national named Greta.
She was born in Portugal but resides in Switzerland - the host nation of this summer's Women's Euros, and lives with a genetic form of epilepsy that was diagnosed at the age of six months.
Greta was invited to the trophy presentation as part of the UEFA Foundation for Children, which sees children battling a series of ailments getting involved in honorary or recreational activities.
"Greta is a cheerful, open-minded, and determined young girl with a great passion for sport," said a UEFA representative.
"Her enthusiasm, perseverance, and love of sport made her a fitting and inspiring choice to participate in the medal ceremony alongside UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin."
