ENGLAND Lioness legend Jill Scott aimed a dig at Jordan Henderson.
That’s after the midfielder made his first Three Lions appearance following a controversial transfer to Saudi Arabia.
Henderson, 33, left Liverpool for Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq in July for £12million.
He was criticised by LGBTQ+ groups for making the move, with Saudi Arabia having strict laws criminalising same-sex partnerships.
During his days at Anfield, Henderson took part in various pro-LGBTQ+ campaigns such as wearing rainbow laces and rainbow armbands.
And he came out swinging in a recent interview, claiming he had not gone to Saudi for money but because he’d fallen out of favour at Liverpool.

However, Lioness hero Scott was not too impressed as Henderson started England’s 1-1 Euro qualifier against Ukraine.
The England Euro winner and I’m a Celeb champ is in a same-sex relationship with partner Shelly Unitt.
And Scott took aim at Henderson’s transfer decision with a scathing statement on live TV.
She said: “I am a Jordan Henderson fan, but now I know I wouldn’t be welcome if I wanted to watch him play football.”

Fellow pundit Joe Cole also reckons Henderson’s international future is in “jeopardy”, adding: “The players he’s competing with – they are all playing in the Champions League.
“Is he going to be as sharp as he was? Henderson knows he’s put his future in jeopardy.
“I think where Jordan slipped up is when he said he wasn’t going there for the money. It’s a huge contract.
“As an individual, he has the right if he wants to earn that kind of money and bring it back. He could be doing lots of work in the community with that.
“Jordan is a good lad at heart. He’s represented Liverpool and England very well. It’s difficult to talk about.”
