Viewers found plenty of purple pro's in her outfit to write about
The former Arsenal defender again teamed up with Dermot O'Leary to front the annual charity match at Old Trafford.
The Football Focus broadcaster chose a purple, latex-style dress, slit to the thigh, as England took on a World XI.
"Soccer Aid" and "2" were subtly inscribed on the front.
But it was what was emblazoned on the back in far larger type that sparked a different line of thought from other admirers.
"SCOTT" was printed right across the rear.
One fan responded online: "Alex Scott, Na there is no need to have your name on the back of your dress" - followed by laughing emojis.
Most viewers, however, focused on her outfit - reckoning that, fashion wise, despite her "2" she was the clear No. 1.
"Alex Scott looks stunning," wrote one.

Another fan, who was in the Old Trafford stands, posted a clip of the ex-Lioness running past with her microphone raised high.
The seated admirer gushed: "Alex Scott walked by me three times today."

And if she keeps her word - after a promise she made at Sunday night's match - then she might be springing ON the pitch plenty of times next year.
The 40-year-old pledged to lace up her boots next year - and PLAY.
Scott's name-bearing dress was first spotted in the home dressing room - as England's co-manager Tyson Fury unleashed a F-worded motivational message.
She had to cut in sharply and apologise live on ITV to viewers after the boxing legend told the Three Lions they were "f***ing Spartans".

Viktor Gyokeres' Arsenal 'threat' amid Sporting chief's 'blackmail' claim
Conflicting reports around Arsenal's pursuit of Viktor Gyokeres suggest the Gunners may start looking elsewhere with Portuguese media reporting that Sporting Lisbon want more money The transfer window reopens this morning and will run for 12 weeks through to its September 1 deadline. And whether Mikel Arteta finally adds the centre forward his squad so badly desires remains to be seen. Viktor Gyokeres appears to remain the Gunners' top target but the messages are mixed, while Benjamin Sesko remains a name featuring prominently on the rumour mills. Aside from that Arsenal are looking towards sealing their deal for Martin Zubimendi, despite recent attempts from Real Madrid to hijack the deal, according to Spanish media. Here are the stories to keep an eye on from in and around the Emirates - even if attention has shifted to the Club World Cup. Gyokeres confusion Various reports at the weekend went hard on suggesting that the Sweden international would reject any offers from Manchester United, pointing to Arsenal being the favourites to land him. But Record, the reputable Portuguese outlet, said on Sunday that Arsenal have submitted a bid that was furiously rejected by Sporting. Arsenal are said to have proposed a total package worth around €70m (£60m), but Sporting want the player's £85m release clause to be met. "Threats, blackmail and insults don't work with me," Sporting president Frederico Varandas said. And that, apparently, has seen Arsenal start looking elsewhere for an alternative striker to arrive with Ollie Watkins mentioned in dispatches. Zubimendi latest The situation surrounding Real Sociedad's Zubimendi also appears clear as mud thanks to conflicting reports. The week before last it looked like a done deal. Then Real Madrid got their media machinery moving, indicating they could end up hijacking the move. But now it looks like the La Liga giants are out of the running and that ensures a clear road for Arsenal to bring one of the most coveted midfielders around on board ahead of next season. Window reopens Since midnight the window has been nudged back open following a six-day hiatus as a consequence of the Club World Cup. It will now run for a dozen weeks to September 1 - and did you know that the window Slams Shut on deadline day at the earlier time of 5pm to ensure club staff and agents can get to bed at a reasonable hour?

Sam Thompson and Louis Tomlinson arrive back at their Soccer Aid hotel following England's loss - after narrowly avoiding each other on the pitch
Sam Thompson and Louis Tomlinson could no longer avoid running into each other as they both arrived back at their Soccer Aid hotel following England's loss on Sunday. The charity match at Old Trafford saw rapper Big Zuu score the winning goal at Soccer Aid to handing the World XI a 4-5 win, with a whopping £15M raised for Unicef. Sam, 32, and Louis, 33, who played on the English squad reportedly held a 'peace dinner' before the match to 'ease awkwardness' over Louis, 33, dating Sam's ex Zara McDermott, 28. Despite the loss both appeared in high spirits despite the loss as they and their teammates were greeted with cheers from waiting fans. While the I'm A Celeb champ wore a stylish grey tracksuit and shades, Louis was still dressed in his football kit.

Sam, 32, who had been forced to pull out of playing after he suffered a string of injuries, including a calf injury, after his 260-mile challenge, made a surprise last minute appearance during the final moments of the game. He was called onto the pitch, only after Louis had left, meaning they avoided coming face-to-face in front of the huge crowd. The pair's dinner reportedly took place at Champneys in Tring, Herts with their other teammates in a bid to keep the peace ahead of the big game. A source told The Sun: 'There is no beef between the pair and they're both going to ensure their love lives don't distract from such a big charity spectacle. 'They are fully aware that their every move is being scrutinised and they've broken bread with their teammates, so it'll be smooth sailing on the day.' Instead of playing the game, Sam been helping from the sidelines as a coach after getting injured. Opening up about his injury, he spoke to This Morning hosts Alison Hammond and Dermot O'Leary. Despite the loss both appeared in high spirits despite the loss as they and their teammates were greeted with cheers from waiting fans Sam, 32, and Louis, 33, who played on the English squad reportedly held a 'peace dinner' before the match to 'ease awkwardness' over Louis, 33, dating Sam's ex Zara McDermott , 28. He said: 'I'm still very sore, still got the torn calf, however I am here at Soccer Aid HQ and it does not get better than this. 'We've still got the management team of England, we've got Vicky McClure, Tyson Fury, who's stepping into some new shoes and Harry Redknapp...' He continued: 'But also because I'm not going to be able to run around, you've also got me, part of the management team. Come on baby!' Late last year Sam split with former Love Island star Zara after five years together. It was then revealed in March how Zara had moved on with former One Direction singer Louis. During an episode of their podcast last month, Pete Wicks, 37, teased Sam about the prospect of the potentially awkward encounter between him and Louis. The TOWIE star asked his co-host: 'You're really going through it with the whole f****** body and dieting and training loads. Is that for Soccer Aid?' But, not dropping the subject, Pete then asked: 'Any kind of people in there who you're looking forward to playing with?' 'Loads,' Sam laughed: 'Tom Grennan. I'm really looking forward to playing alongside Wayne Rooney, Tyson Fury's the manager. I can't wait'. Pete joked: 'I mean that's gonna be f****** amazing. Make sure you get him on side though because you may need him in your corner in case you fall out with anyone. Not that you will but just in case there's any rivalries or anything. 'You know, you have to train together and it's a lot, you know when you're kind of in close quarters with someone like that. All sorts gets brought up. Anyway...'

Sam Thompson joins final minutes of Soccer Aid charity match as England player
The Made In Chelsea star had said he could not play for the England team after being injured while completing the Match Ball Mission running and cycling challenge, which raised more than £2 million for Unicef. But Thompson made it on for the last few minutes of the charity match, broadcast live on ITV, which also saw Hollywood's Julia Roberts chatting to Wayne Rooney and Dermot O'Leary apologising to viewers for a Tyson Fury 'f-bomb'. The match at Old Trafford, which sees an England team of former professionals and celebrities take on Soccer Aid World XI FC, raised more than £15 million for the aid organisation. The I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! winner injured his calf during his challenge where he transported the Soccer Aid match ball from last year's stadium, Chelsea's Stamford Bridge, to Old Trafford. On Friday, he announced that he would no longer be able to play and instead join the management team alongside Fury, however minutes before the final whistle, Thompson joined the Old Trafford pitch as a player. Before Sunday's match, O'Leary 'profusely' apologised to ITV viewers after the heavyweight champion swore live on air while giving the England team a pre-match talk in the locker rooms. He said: 'Let them know how good we are. We are England. We are f****** Spartans. We are Spartans.' Presenters Alex Scott and O'Leary apologised afterwards, with Scott saying: 'What can I say about Tyson Fury? We do apologise for the swearing, but it is Tyson Fury, we don't know what's going to happen.' O'Leary added: 'We do profusely apologise.' The game ended with a 5-4 win for the Soccer Aid World XI team, with the final goal being scored by rapper and TV chef Big Zuu. Among his teammates who joined him to celebrate was former Argentina and Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez, who scored four goals for the World XI. Prior to lifting the trophy in the air, singer Robbie Williams – who co-founded the charity game in 2006 – announced this year's had raised £15,280,163. Pretty Woman-star Roberts, who has described herself as a 'true fan' of Manchester United, was seen taking photographs at Old Trafford, smiling next to the former England striker Rooney, who, minutes into the game, scored the first goal for England. Among the England team line-up alongside Rooney were former One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson and Olympic gold-medallist Sir Mo Farah. Last Of Us star Bella Ramsey also joined this year's England team along with comedian Paddy McGuinness, former Manchester United player Gary Neville and singer Tom Grennan. Last year, the match ended with a 6-3 win for England, with the Three Lions taking home the win for the first time in six years. Since the fundraising match was first founded nearly two decades ago, it has raised more than £106 million.
