Chloe Kelly forces Alex Scott into apology after dropping F-bomb live on BBC and Sky
The 27-year-old Arsenal forward scored the winning penalty in Sunday's dramatic shoot-out victory over Spain to retain England's crown, securing the European Championship for the second time in three years.
The goal triggered nearly 48 hours of non-stop celebrations for the Lionesses that have taken them from Zurich, to Downing Street, to Buckingham Palace where they gathered at the Queen Victoria Memorial for a celebration of their triumph.
After parading down The Mall on an open-top bus in front of at least tens of thousands of fans, the Lionesses took to the stage to soak up the adulation in scenes that were being broadcast live across BBC News, Sky News and Sky Sports News.
But Kelly quickly got carried away when she took the microphone to be interviewed by Scott, where she immediately asked about her nerves during the decisive penalty shoot-out.
'Pressure? What pressure?' Kelly said. 'It feels so good to stand side by side next to all these girls throughout the tournament. This is so f-----g special!'
After Scott quickly apologised for the foul language, Kelly added: 'Everyone knows what it takes to win it, but it's so hard to win it, it's special to be here today. I am so proud to be English.'
Lioness Alessia Russo said she was 'on cloud nine' and described the team's celebrations on The Mall as 'a bit surreal'.
Asked by BBC News how she was feeling on the open-top bus heading down The Mall, she said: 'Tired, but on cloud nine. I mean, this is just unreal. We didn't really know what to expect coming into it today, but everyone was so excited on the bus, and it feels so nice to come back to England and celebrate with our fans.'
Asked to describe the scenes in central London, Russo added: 'It's just a bit surreal. It's crazy to see this many people come out in the home of England at London, heading up to Buckingham Palace – it's just crazy.
'I'd never have dreamed of anything like it.'

NYPD cars have replaced Police Scotland vehicles and New York style yellow cabs have been seen lining the streets as filming continues. And in footage, which was shared with Glasgow Live, the English actor delighted onlookers as he took a break to give them a wee wave, triggering a few cheers. In other clips Holland can be seen perched on top of a military vehicle on Bothwell Street with a NYPD car in hot pursuit. He can also be spotted making a dramatic pose on top of the vehicle, without the famous Spider-Man mask on. The Spider-Man Brand New Day film, which will be released in cinemas next summer, follows Peter Parker as he tries to focus on his university studies and leave his Spider-Man alter ego behind. However, when dark forces begin to threaten New York, Peter must suit-up again to protect his friends and neighbours. It's not the first time Glasgow has been transformed for the big screen. Earlier this year, parts of the city centre were closed off for filming of the Sci-Fi movie Ghostwriter. Not much is known about the blockbuster, but cinema legend Samuel L. Jackson is tapped to play a key role in the new J.J. Abrams film, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Natalie Cassidy says 'I don't miss it' as she opens up on EastEnders exit
Natalie Cassidy has opened up on her decision to leave EastEnders after playing Sonia Fowler on the BBC soap for more than three decades Natalie Cassidy confesses she "doesn't miss" EastEnders after departing the soap following more than three decades on screen. The actress initially joined the beloved BBC programme as Sonia Fowler back in 1993. The 42-year-old remained with the series for 14 years before her initial exit in 2007. She made sporadic returns before securing a permanent comeback in 2014. Yet this January saw the announcement that Natalie would be departing the soap once again, with her farewell scenes broadcasting on April 17. During that period, Natalie expressed her desire to dedicate more time to her family - fiancé Marc Humphreys and daughters Eliza, 15, and eight-year-old Joanie - whilst exploring fresh projects. Natalie has now revealed her feelings about leaving during a chat with fellow soap actress Kellie Bright. Appearing on the Life with Nat podcast, she declared: "I don't miss it, I don't. I miss the people. It's full on." The television personality went on to confess she feels positive about her decision. She added: "I do feel happier doing the things I'm doing now. I always feel like I have to say it, I loved it, I'm grateful for it but I did fall into it and that was that, and that's what I did for 30 years, I don't know if I was meant to do that." Following her departure from the programme, Natalie has penned a book about motherhood, titled Happy Days, which is scheduled for release in October, and has fronted her own consumer show on Channel 4. Her forthcoming series, Learning to Care, will feature Natalie returning to college to discover everything about becoming a carer. Throughout her three decades on EastEnders, Natalie confesses there was one particular aspect she "loved". She disclosed she would get thrilled upon receiving the scripts. She continued: "I used to love it, I loved the prep, getting the scripts. I never got bored of getting a script. I never felt bored or thought, 'Oh, here we go, we've got to undo it all and do it my way and see what's happening'. I never lost that in all of those 32 years." Prior to her departure, Natalie acknowledged feeling "guilty" about how much time she could devote to her domestic life. However, she clarified she did spend whatever free time she had with her family. Speaking to Closer magazine, Natalie confessed: "It's hard. You feel guilty about not spending more time at home, but you need to take the opportunities when they come along to earn money." She continued: "You have to accept that not every bit of your life can be perfect all the time. Any time I do have off, I'm at home with Marc and the kids." Outside her EastEnders role, Natalie has also starred in the BBC comedy Mandy in 2020 as Donna Bell and has made guest appearances on ITV's Loose Women. She has also featured on Celebrity Big Brother, Strictly Come Dancing, and The Masked Singer.
