Stars toast England's Euro triumph as David Beckham and Amanda Holden lead celebrations
Some stars will be nursing sore heads this morning after really getting the party started following England's Euro 2025 triumph.
David Beckham, Stacey Solomon, Amanda Holden and Alan Carr led the celebrations following the Lionesses' penalty success over Spain, crowning them back-to-back winners. Ashley James made sure she recorded the big moment as Chloe Kelly's successful spot kick sparked wild scenes.
Amanda and Alan were together enjoying a wine or two and got together with their film crew while shooting Amanda & Alan's Greek Job. Former England captain Beckham is a huge supporter of the women's game and went on an Instagram sharing spree as he honoured the heroes in Switzerland.
Lizzy Cundy and Stacey's clan were gripped by the action with their families. Watching nervously from Pickle Cottage, Stacey videoed her kids dancing around the room as the England players celebrated on the TV behind them. Singer Shania Twain didn't miss the celebrations and shared a photo of herself with England's Leah Williamson, captioning it: "Let's f***ing go girls!!" as Peter Andre took to Instagram to simply say "Amazing!"
Princess Charlotte and Prince William couldn't hide their joy with the Lionesses triumphant Euros final victory over Spain after they presented the winners with their reward. Charlotte, who was joined by her father Prince William on the pitch, could be seen beaming with pride as Chloe Kelly and the rest of the team made history with back-to-back European Championship victories.
The pair said in a statement on X: "What a game! @Lionesses, you are the champions of Europe and we couldn't be prouder of the whole team. Enjoy this moment England. W & Charlotte." The snap of them on the pitch was shared with the caption: "CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE!"
Also applauding the team on social media was King Charles, who said: 'This brings you, your manager and all your support team my most heartfelt congratulations on winning the Euros 2025. For more years than I care to remember, England fans have sung that famous chant 'football's coming home'.
'As you return home with the trophy you won at Wembley three years ago, it is a source of great pride that, through sporting skill and awesome teamwork, the Lionesses have made those words ring true. For this, you have my whole family's warmest appreciation and admiration.
After needing spot-kicks to see off Sweden in the quarter-finals of Euro 2025 and seeing their semi against Italy settled in extra-time, Sarina Wiegman 's side went the distance for a third time. Hannah Hampton was one of the heroes, saving twice from the spot - capping an incredible tournament.
'This team is just unbelievable, incredible," said the goalkeeper. "We've shown throughout the tournament we can come back when we go a goal back. We've got that grit, that English blood in us. We never say die, we keep going and we did that today.
'When Chloe stepped up I turned around to the fans, miming a kick and trying to ask if we score do we win, I'd completely lost track. They were just cheering at me so I didn't know what the answer was, but then I saw that run up and that was it, we've won. I can't believe it.'

BBC The One Show's Alex Jones makes return after 'heartbreaking' summer break
The One Show returned to BBC One on Monday evening with Alex Jones back at the helm after a "heartbreaking" end to her summer break, as she shared the ordeal she had faced. Alex Jones has returned to The One Show after experiencing a "heartbreaking" end to her family getaway. The BBC programme made its comeback on Monday following the summer hiatus. Hosts Alex and JB Gill welcomed viewers from the famous green sofa alongside guests Freddie Highmore from The Good Doctor and Anna Friel from Unforgivable, who both spoke about their current ventures. Kicking off the live transmission, Alex addressed audiences saying: "Hello there and welcome to your Monday One Show live on BBC One and iPlayer with JB Gill.." Former JLS member JB added: "and Alex Jones. Now we're back to share our evenings with you after an amazing few weeks of sport here on the BBC.", reports the Mirror. The duo then discussed England's Euros triumph against Spain on Sunday before chatting with their celebrity guests Freddie and Anna. This follows Alex's revelation that her family's kitten Sabrina suffered serious injuries after being struck by a vehicle. The devastated host broke the distressing news whilst in the Lake District, where she and her loved ones had taken a postponed break on advice from renowned veterinarian Noel Fitzpatrick, who stepped in to treat Sabrina's broken pelvis. Despite the trauma, Alex confirmed her pet had received surgery and was now recovering. Recounting the distressing events of the past week, Alex shared with her followers: "We think our gorgeous little kitten, Sabrina, was hit by a car yesterday evening but despite breaking her pelvis, she managed to crawl back to the house to tell us that she was hurt." Following urgent medical attention, Sabrina was transferred to Professor Noel Fitzpatrick's renowned veterinary clinic for advanced care. Alex hailed the Supervet as "the light at the end of a pretty scary 24 hours", thanking him for his prompt intervention and support during what she described as an upsetting period for her family. She revealed that Noel had encouraged them to proceed with their holiday plans, recounting: "We were due to come to the Lake District the middle of last week and obviously all of this happened, but we did eventually make it. "Noel said, you know, she needs to stay with me anyway so you might as well go, because the kids were traumatised by the whole thing and disappointed - so we did come, and I'm so glad." Since 2010, Alex has been a familiar face on The One Show, initially joining forces with Matt Baker and subsequently presenting alongside a variety of co-hosts such as JB, Roman Kemp, and Ronan Keating.

Our body's are a album of our lives and we should embrace it all 🙌🙌" 5 The star has been honest about her health battles over the past few years Credit: Instagram Vicky's Discovery Vicky's journey with her body comes after she revealed she had been diagnosed with PMDD after being "gaslit" for years by medical professionals into believing nothing was wrong with her. PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) left Vicky suffering from anxiety, depressive moods, rage, crippling cramps, and a feeling of hopelessness that, at points, left her with suicidal ideation. "I was told everything from, 'This is just PMS, everyone experiences it, other women can just handle it better' to, 'This is psychological — you need antidepressants.' 'I was told by one doctor, 'Maybe it'll be better if you lose weight.'' Her voice breaks when she reflects on the battle she still faces. Vicky says: 'Every month, you lose yourself — and as I've gotten older, it's gotten worse. "It used to last a few days, but now it's seven to ten days before my period. 'I'm anxious, I'm emotional, I'm exhausted, and I'm completely unrecognisable from the woman I am the rest of the time. 'The things that bring me joy don't bring me joy.' 'I broke down when she said I had PMDD,' Vicky said of her diagnosis after turning to private medical care three years ago. 'I'd had five years of being gaslit.' 5 Vicky has been praised for her honest approach to her changing body Credit: Instagram
