    The ex-England star edited her Instagram post to remove the tagged brand
    She tagged the label in an Instagram post of her working as a pundit during a match wearing her designer outfit.
    But as reported by the Daily Mail, that did not go down well with her employers with the promotion of commercial companies frowned upon – and even banned for some staff.
    Scott, 38, has now removed the tag on the post from a week ago – editing it three days ago.
    She captioned it: “Work Vibing World Cup stuff with @bbcfootball @bbcsport ⚽️…”

    A BBC spokesperson said: “We have spoken with Alex, who has removed the tag and will not be repeating this.”
    The Reiss outfit was made up of a £278 orange blazer with matching trousers costing £168.
    The silk shirt was another £228 and topped off with a pair of sequin heels.
    However, it is not the first time Scott’s choice of clothes has caused a stir at the World Cup.

    Ahead of England’s first game of the tournament against Iran, she wore a rainbow OneLove armband to support the LGBTQ+ community after Harry Kane and other captains were ordered against wearing them.
    And then she wore the “orangest of orange dresses” with a white collar to cover Holland’s last-16 showdown with the USA.
    It led some fans to think she was blatantly supporting the Dutch against the Lionesses’ rivals – but she insisted: “I came in neutral.”
    Scott earns just shy of £200,000 in her role with the BBC.
    Earlier this year, former BBC Breakfast host Dan Walker stopped posting images of certain brands.
    Although it is understood he did not have any contract or deal with them, he did stop receiving gifts from third parties. More

    Ivana earlier denied reports that she had promised to strip naked if her team wins the tournament.
    The German-born brunette, who was wearing a Croatian flag at the time, was reported as saying: “If that happens, the flag falls…”
    But Ivana, who has taken the Qatar competition by storm with her racy red-and-white outfits, has since denied that she would bare all for her country.
    Taking to her Instagram story, Ivana wrote in a mixture of English, Croatian, and German: “Fake news! The lies of the media. I don’t take off my shirt if Croatia wins the championship.”

    She went on: “I will not get naked if Croatia wins the World Cup. Thank you!”
    It comes as Ivana celebrated reaching two million followers on Instagram, just eight days after she hit the one million milestone.
    “Thank you so so much! Love you all.” she posted on her Instagram story.
    Ivana also trolled Brazil’s Richarlison, after Croatia knocked the five-times World Cup champions out in the Quarter-Finals on penalties.
    Imitating the Spurs striker’s signature pigeon dance, she accompanied the video with the savage message: “Do your pigeon dance on your way back home.”
    Ivana was in the stadium to watch her team knock out Brazil, setting up a mouth-watering semi-final clash with Lionel Messi’s Argentina on Tuesday at 7pm.
    But her outfits haven’t gone over well with everyone in the World Cup host nation, where both men and women are expected to cover up.
    Ivana designs and sells her own bikinis, swimsuits, and other revealing clothing, all in the distinctive red-and-white chequerboard pattern of the Croatian flag.
    She previously made a splash at the 2018 World Cup in Russia where her outfits were noticed.
    Ivana claimed she wasn’t aware of the rules on clothing in Qatar, saying: “First I was thinking if the World Cup is happening there, they for sure will allow everything to make it comfortable for all fans without any of their restrictions.
    “Then I heard about the rules and I was shocked. In the dress code, you’re forbidden from showing your shoulders, knees, belly and neck.
    “I was like, ‘OMG, I don’t even have clothes covering that all’.”
    She went viral recently when two men were caught sneakily snapping Ivana as she walked past them in the stadium.
    But she told host Piers Morgan on TalkTV that she had encountered no problems with her outfit choices in Qatar, and even had families with children asking to take pictures with her.

    Wanda posted a series of polls to her Insta story labelled by Marca as a “social media trial” – during which she asked her followers whether Icardi should “move forward” or “subtract.”
    Not all of her posts were about bad things she claims Icardi to have done – with one mentioning him tattooing her name on his body.
    Others were less flattering, however, with one appearing to possibly reference Icardi’s scathing comments after Wanda kissed a rapper 13 years her junior for a music video in October.
    At the time, Icardi, 29, labelled his estranged wife, 35, a “laughing stock of the whole world”.
