Alex Scott shows off midriff in retro Arsenal kit and sips bubbly with Jess Glynne at Women’s Champions League final


ALEX SCOTT went down memory lane with partner Jess Glynne – as they watched Arsenal Women make history.

The football presenter sipped champagne with singer Glynne in the Lisbon stands as they wore retro tops and cheered the Gunners to glory in the Women’s Champions League final.

Sub Stina Blackstenius’s brilliant 74th-minute strike edged out favourites and holders Barcelona 1-0.

Scott, 40, was in the Arsenal side on the only other occasion they lifted the crown – in 2007 when it was called the Uefa Women’s Cup.

And she looked as toned as she did back then – in a cropped yellow shirt revealing her impressive abs.

Glynne was seen grinning as the couple looked on in classic short-sleeved tops from 1988-90, midway during Arsenal’s JVC sponsorship era.

Ex-defender Scott walked down steps with a glass of bubbly in each hand.

Yet at times Glynne looked to be enjoying herself even more than the famous ex-Gunner.

The 35-year-old smiled and laughed as the couple settled in for the action at the Estadio Jose Alvalade stadium in the Portuguese capital.

In fact, they could not have looked more relaxed – in contrast to the tense final that developed below them on the pitch.

Barcelona’s Irene Paredes slid in to net an own goal – only for VAR to deny Arsenal that opener as crosser Frida Maanum was ruled offside.

But although the Spaniards were often on top, Leah Williamson masterminded the Gunners’ fierce defending.

And Blackstenius came on to fire a first-time winner for WSL runners-up Arsenal following a sublime pass from fellow substitute Beth Mead.

Scott was ecstatic at the end after making her way down to the pitch – celebrating with arms as wide as any of the club’s current players.

It was sheer joy from the BBC star, who as a player won 140 caps for the Lionesses and lifted the WSL crown five times with Arsenal.

Scott’s relationship with Glynne became public two years ago.

She’s since called it “special” and has promised to protect it.

Meanwhile, the couple have regularly shared blissful snaps – including a spectacular adventure holiday in Costa Rica in January.
