Lioness Chloe Kelly reveals hopes for big career move after England win
Chloe Kelly has revealed her hopes for a big career move following her England win. The Lioness, 27, brought it home for England when she scored the winning spot-kick following two huge saves from goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, in what became a historic victory for the women's national team.
The sports star made an appearance on ITV's This Morning on Thursday where she joined hosts Dermot O'Leary and Rochelle Humes to discuss her achievements and career so far, alongside a group of aspiring young footballers. When one of the children asked Chloe what she would be doing if she was not a footballer, she admitted that she has a wish to carve our a career in the world of sports media. At first, she said: "If I weren't a footballer, what would by job me? I'm not too sure, I've never really thought about it," before adding: "I enjoy the media, so hopefully I could be interviewing another footballer maybe? And I'd definitely be in the stadium with the fans."
If Chloe were to start up a career in the media, she would be following in the foosteps of Jill Scott, who captained England in 2021, and then went onto win I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here the following year. She is now a regular pundit across both men and women's matches, captains the team on sports-comedy series A League Of Their Own, and has occasionally appeared as a panellist on Loose Women. It comes just days after Jill herself delivered her verdict on the England team shortly before they enjoyed their Euros success.
Meanwhile, Chloe was also asked about how she manages to stay so calm during intense moments in the match, and she admitted: "I'm more nervous sitting here than taking a penalty, actually! I stay calm by just sticking to my process.
She added: "I train that process a lot. I breathe, I take my breath and I either score or I miss, and that's the worst that can happen. That's the way I see it, it's just me against the goalkeeper so I'm very relaxed."
Establishing herself as an England legend in the showpiece event, Chloe confidently dispatched her penalty past Spain's Cata Coll to secure victory. BBC Sports commentator Vicki Sparks captured the moment perfectly: "This is it, this is the moment for Chloe Kelly. Can she be England's heroine? Chloe Kelly... yes she can!"
Kelly rose to the occasion magnificently, rescuing England from perilous situations on three separate occasions. Teaming up with emerging talent Michelle Agyemang, the duo rekindled the country's belief in achieving a magnificent triumph that delivered a "proper English performance" culminating in continental success.
Following the trophy presentation, Chloe was heard declaring: "The first time was so nice, we had to do it twice." Yet beyond the football field, she remains remarkably private about her personal affairs. Having wed her long-time partner last year, early 2025 almost witnessed her departure from professional football entirely.
Kelly was joined by her England team-mates for a victory parade down The Mall in London on Tuesday. The team had the Euro 2025 trophy with them on an open-top as they were greeted by an estimated 65,000 supporters in central London. Manager Sarina Wiegman and captain Leah Williamson then led the squad up onto a stage outside Buckingham Palace, where they were interviewed by Alex Scott. There were some heartwarming moments, including Wiegman doing a duet with Burna Boy and Williamson holding back tears as she spoke.
But there was also a moment where Kelly – the scorer of England's winning penalty against Spain on Sunday – turned the air blue. She said: 'It feels so good to stand side by side with each and every one of these girls.
'It's so f****** special. It's incredible to stand here today with a winners' medal around our necks and I'm so proud to be English.'
It wasn't the first time that the Arsenal forward had been caught on camera swearing, having dropped the same word after picking up her winners' medal from Prince William in Basel. This time she quickly took to social media, writing: 'Ooops. Emotions got the better of me. Sorry for the F bomb. Love, CK x.'

ITV This Morning viewers 'stunned' as Andi Peters confirms age and says 'I'm ancient'
ITV This Morning viewers were left gobsmacked as Andi Peters confirmed his age while discussing Brooklyn Beckham's feud with his family This Morning: Andi Peters reveals his age This Morning fans were stunned when presenter Andi Peters revealed his age during a chat about Brooklyn Beckham. During Tuesday's episode of the ITV programme (August 12), Andi and co-host Emma Willis took over presenting duties, filling in for Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard, who are enjoying their summer break. Before diving into the day's top stories, Andi welcomed Alison Phillips alongside newly-wed Nick Ferrari, who revealed he had recently tied the knot with long-term partner Clare Goodwin. The conversation quickly shifted to Brooklyn Beckham's, 26, alleged rift with his family after his vow renewal ceremony with wife Nicola Peltz, 30. The pair initially wed in a glittering US celebration back in 2022, reports the Mirror. Their guestlist featured his parents, David Beckham, 50, and Victoria Beckham, 51, from whom he's now believed to be distanced. Yet the duo has renewed their marriage vows in an extravagant ceremony, with the Beckham clan notably missing from the festivities. Discussing the occasion, Nick remarked: "What's interesting, it's been three years, that's not a lot of time. If they were married 10 or 20." Andi interrupted: "Maybe they are trying to prove a point that they are having a great relationship, that they are happy with each other, and that they are under such scrutiny all the time." Alison added: "They are only under scrutiny because they put pictures all over Instagram, all the time", with Nick nodding in agreement. Andi went on to say: "I think there is a real generational thing for people of that age. I was 55 last week, don't you know. I'm ancient." The legendary presenter left Nick and This Morning viewers gobsmacked with his age revelation, prompting many to take to social media to express their surprise, believing Andi to be "a lot younger". One viewer queried on Facebook: "Watching This Morning. Did Andi Peters just say he was 55?! I need to know his secret. He still looks so young." Another exclaimed: "He did and I was no way!", while a third chimed in: "He still looks the same as he did when I was younger, I've said that lots of times, he hasn't aged at all, lucky." "He's hardly changed at all", one viewer noted, while another agreed, writing: "I said this a few weeks ago, he's hardly changed in 30 years."

Princess Andre, 18, supported after feeling 'anxious' wearing a bikini
Princess Andre has received support from fans after sharing her anxieties about modelling in a bikini during an episode of her new ITV reality show. The 18-year-old is the subject of the new ITV series, The Princess Diaries, which focuses on her relationship with fame and carving out her own reputation beyond her celebrity parents. Former glamour model Katie Price and Peter Andre met on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here in 2004 and went on to have two children together – Princess, 18, and Junior, 20 – before separating in 2009. During the third episode of the ITV show, Princess spoke about feeling 'uncomfortable' during her modelling debut in Ibiza as she had to wear a skimpy blue bikini top and skirt. Princess was getting ready for a fashion show when she was asked to do a last-minute clothing change. Reacting to the decision, Princess said to the ITV cameras: 'The worst thing is trying to be confident in something you're not going to be confident in. 'Obviously, I feel fine wearing a bikini in a pool because we're in a swimming pool. No-one actually cares. 'But to walk down a catwalk in a bikini top, I'm going to feel exposed. I'm going to feel so uncomfortable. I was already anxious in the first place, but this has just made it ten times worse.' Before Princess walked down the runway, the 18-year-old confided in her content manager about her insecurities, saying: 'It's just my boobs. I hate my boobs. There's just nothing to them, it's embarrassing. 'They're all 20-something-year-olds with massive boobs, it's awkward.' Princess decided the show must go on and walked out regardless of her anxiety, subsequently posting snaps of the outfit to her Instagram alongside the caption: 'Well… at least I didn't fall over on the runway. Who caught last night's episode?' In the comments section, Princess's followers were hugely impressed with her during the episode. @kellycheriton commented: 'You handled yourself so well beyond your years when everything changed. Keep shining.' @violafioreflorist added: 'You smashed it out the park ! Well done Princess, onwards and upwards!' More Trending 'Gutted for you that you didn't get to wear the dress but the blue did look amazing on you,' wrote @mrssuv_manicmumdays. @mrsmactan.x added: 'You portray yourself amazingly. I love that you are so raw and real, talking about periods, insecurities and low confidence, that's what young girls need to hear about. 'Such a brilliant role model for little girls to grow up watching.' View More » All four episodes of The Princess Diaries are available to stream on ITVX now. Got a story?
