Lioness Chloe Kelly reveals hopes for big career move after England win
Chloe Kelly has spoken out about what she would like to do following her major football victory and could be following in the footsteps of former Lioness Jill Scott 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 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.'

Wayne Rooney is banned from watching son, 15, play football for sad reason
Wayne Rooney has been banned from watching his son Kai play football, with the Manchester United legend's fame meaning the 15-year-old has to tell his dad to stay away Wayne Rooney's celebrity status has emerged as the reason behind the Manchester United legend being barred from watching his son Kai play football. The 15-year-old is the eldest child of Rooney and wife Coleen, who are also parents to three younger boys - Klay, 11, Kit, eight, and Cass, six. Kai became part of the Red Devils academy in 2016, treading the same path as his iconic father who dedicated 13 years to Old Trafford and holds the club's scoring record with 253 goals. Despite being recognised as a promising talent, the young striker has informed his celebrated dad that his presence isn't welcome at matches, owing to the enormous crowds he attracts. The revelation came during Coleen's appearance on ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here last year. Prior to securing second place behind McFly vocalist Danny Jones, she shared details of her son's difficult choice with her fellow campmates, reports the Express. "That's the thing with kids I think, it's hard to go on days out," Coleen revealed to her jungle companions last December. "Kai told Wayne to stop coming to football games, when he played grassroots tournaments and stuff because he used to get swarmed and he couldn't even watch the game. "How do you say to all of these kids, 'Go away, I'm watching my son?' Adults, it's different you could speak to them, so he [Kai] just said, 'Oh, dad there's no point you coming because you don't even watch me play anyway.' Which is sad, but it can't be helped anyway. At the same time, the fans help you along the way and get you where you are." Despite his father's absence, Kai has continued to shine in the academy and even found the net in United's opening SuperCupNI fixture on Monday. The teenager converted from the penalty spot and mimicked the trademark celebration of Arsenal's latest acquisition, Viktor Gyokeres. Following his assist for Sam O'Brien's opener against West Cork Academy, Kai confidently dispatched the spot-kick before team-mate Abdoulaye Bassirou Nkoto sealed a third. The celebration, which sees Gyokeres mask his face by weaving his fingers together, was devised whilst the Swedish striker was on his holidays, with the forward admitting his mates pushed him to devise his own goal celebration. "Before I got it, my friends were always saying to me to find my own celebration because they were very tired of me doing all kinds of stuff when I was celebrating," he previously said. "I had some time off. We went on vacation together. During that time, we came up with it after a while. We thought it looked good, and I started doing it straightaway. It felt even better on the pitch." Despite the existence of his ban, Rooney, 39, attended the tournament in Northern Ireland alongside his wife to keep a keen eye on their son in action. The ex-Plymouth boss spoke to BBC News NI about his son's career in the academy and the role he plays in his progression. "He has great coaches at Manchester United, so I take a stand-off approach," Rooney said. "I speak to him, but for me it's all about his mentality and his mindset, to make sure he keeps enjoying it – that's the main thing for me. It's a long time since I was here, but it does bring back great memories. "The Super Cup, like many other tournaments, is a fantastic place to go away as a young person; you're away with your team-mates in a hotel together, and it's great for team building."

Prince William left 'scarred' by England Lioness after crunch tackle wiped him out
Prince William will be cheering on the Lionesses in their Euro 2025 final tonight - and it seems one former player for the England Women's side certainly left a mark on him during a kickabout Prince William will be cheering on the Lionesses later as they aim to retain their title in the Euro 2025 finals. The Prince of Wales is patron of the Football Association and a huge football fan, supporting his beloved Aston Villa and not being able to resist a kickabout when the opportunity arises on royal duties. But it seems he might have bitten off more than he could chew when he took part in a charity match several years ago when he came up against former Lioness and I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here Queen of the Jungle, Jill Scott. And the pair now appear to share a running joke after a mishap during that match left Sunderland-born Jill accidentally taking out the senior royal. She previously explained: "It stems back to about 10 years ago when we did a charity event and I slipped and side-tackled him and actually wiped him out. The running joke whenever he sees us is, 'No yellow cards this tournament Jill!'." A few years later, during a kickabout at Kensington Palace, William, 43, quipped that he still had a scar on his leg from the accidental tackle. Jill is retired from football now, but is a regular pundit and TV personality. However, before she hung up her boots, she was part of the England Women's team that were victorious at the Euros back in 2022. When she went up to collect her winners medal from William, the pair embraced in a big hug rather than a formal handshake as the future King congratulated her. William will be hoping he will be congratulating the England women once again tonight as they take on Spain in the final in Basel. Earlier in the tournament, he travelled to Switzerland to watch the England women's team in their group match against the Netherlands, which they won 4-0. And before they headed off for the championships, he visited the team at their St George's Park training ground. After their extra-time win in the semi-finals against Italy thanks to a Chloe Kelly winner, he took to social media to say: "Brilliant performance @ Lionesses! One game from glory!" In addition, King Charles also issued a statement after England booked their place in the final to send his congratulations to the team after reaching the final. In a statement posted on social media, the King said: 'My wife and I join all our family in wishing you, the proud Lionesses, our warmest congratulations on reaching the final of the Uefa Euro tournament. 'Your journey to this stage has been nothing short of remarkable, showcasing the skill, determination (and test of nerve!) for which your team is so rightly celebrated. Knowing the Lionesses' fighting spirit, I suspect we are in for another thrilling encounter on Sunday. 'Your achievements continue to inspire countless girls and women across the nation, proving once again that with dedication and teamwork, anything is possible. Good luck, England. May you roar to victory once more. Charles R." Get Royal Family updates straight to your WhatsApp!

Gemma Collins and Harry Redknapp 'on the verge' of signing for I'm A Celeb All Stars
I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! All Stars is making a return and two iconic stars from the programme is said to be close to signing up for the South African series Two huge personalities are reportedly close to landing a deal for the All Stars version of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! Former Spurs boss Harry Redknapp and The Only Way Is Essex legend Gemma Collins are two wildly different personalities, but were huge hits on the ITV show. Harry, 78, took part in the 2018 series filmed in Australia and even beat the likes of Emily Atack and John Barrowman to become King of the Jungle. Meanwhile, Diva Forever star Gemma was part of the 2014 programme but only lasted a couple of days before making a beeline for the exit. It has been reported that Harry could earn a huge fee if he were to take part in the South African All Stars series, which is said to start filming this autumn. It could rival Coleen Rooney and Nigel Farage's hefty paycheck, which was reportedly around £1.5million. Meanwhile, bosses are said to have offered £150,000 to Gemma for her to take part in the competition. An insider claimed to The Sun: "It's going to be a real coup. Harry is TV gold and was first on the list of wannabe celebrity contestants." The Mirror have reached out to Gemma and Harry's representatives for comment. When the 2023 series of All Stars was announced, Harry joked about not joining the mega line-up during a conversation with Kate Garraway and Ben Shephard on Good Morning Britain. While appearing on GMB, Harry spoke to Kate and Ben to discuss a celebrity football match he was leading, but the presenters couldn't resist quizzing the football manager on why he was absent from the series. Kate remarked: "I was quite surprised you didn't get a phone call for the I'm a Celebrity All-Stars, did you ever fancy going back?" "No, I didn't get the phone call, Kate," Harry replied. "I don't know, maybe they lost my number. No, it didn't happen, but I think once is, 'You've done it,' once was enough," he added. "It was a great experience, but I really am not desperate to get back in again." Meanwhile, Gemma previously shared the real reason she quit the show after only three days in the jungle. 'My time was short in the jungle, and not many people know that I was robbed and physically attacked 24 hours before leaving for Australia," she said. The reality TV star continued: 'I didn't want to let anyone down, so I still went in. However, I was in a terrible state and shock, as you can imagine and couldn't see it through. 'I took lots of stick over it, but if you was robbed and attacked and then sent into the jungle, I'm sure you would have struggled too. I would never let anyone destroy my dreams again.'

Gogglebox's Scarlett Moffatt opens up on day that 'changed her life' leading to TV career
The Gogglebox star shared the day that changed the course of her life Scarlett Moffatt has shared one day that changed the course of her life, leading her into the a career in television. The well-known star initially won hearts on the popular television programme Gogglebox and after leaving in 2016, she sought new ventures. As a winner of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here and a frequent face on Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, Moffatt recently revealed to her admirers the transformative experience that "changed her life". She shared a TikTok video about one important moment as she wrote: "The day that changed my life!!". In the narration, she recounts: "Story time of how one kind act when I was 16 ended up with me getting a career in tv. Strap yourself in it's a long one." Engaging with her 821k TikTok followers, the star divulged that at 16, she had aspirations to be a dance or primary school teacher; however, her academic path was at risk by poor attendance, reports the Manchester Evening News. Moffatt added: "I was distraught. I came in this day thinking it was possibly my last ever day at this college with my friends and we decided to do what we always did and go for a jacket potato. Now normally my friend would always have her car, and for this day, this is where it starts getting crazy, she didn't bring her car in because there was something wrong with it." Moffatt said she soon met an elderly woman who seemed "a little bit lost" in the park, she had no clue that lending a hand would lead to a remarkable twist. Without recognition of who the woman was or her whereabouts, Moffatt eventually rang a number on the woman's phone belonging to someone at the college. The good turn saw Moffatt reunite the lady with her daughter as she recalled: "Then I went into the college and who was principle I had my meeting with but the very same daughter of that woman that I'd helped. She literally ripped up the agreement of the fact that I had to agree I hadn't played my role in the college because I hadn't been going to social studies." Although Moffatt feared she might lose her place in college, the random act of kindness paid off as she was permitted to continue. But she said: "This is when gets even crazier." She went on to say: "I then explained look the bus sometimes is so full that I end up missing it, it takes one hour and 15 to get home, I have to wait around is there anyway I can swap social studies class." Post class change, she met a friend who turned out to work in TV, reconnecting after college. This connection later unfolded into an opportunity as he was looking for people to be on a new show, Gogglebox. However, after a lack of interest, Moffatt agreed to be part of the show and her career subsequently took off. She confided in her fans: "Honestly if we hadn't have done Gogglebox, I definitely wouldn't be in the career I'm in now. I wouldn't have ended up doing I' a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here or Saturday Night Takeaway and all the wonderful things I've got to do which I still feel like how did I manage this, winging life." She later added: "I just think in world where you can do anything, be kind because you really don't know where it can lead you. "And the support came pouring in. One fan replied: "Good things happen to good people Scarlett kind heart repaid." Another wrote: "Amazing what's meant for you never passes you lovely story." A third replied: "That's an amazing story and just proves that a little kindness can go a long way. Miss you on Gogglebox btw." A fourth commented: "What a lovely heartwarming story Scarlett, thanks for sharing it with us." One person added: "Amazing, remarkable story Scarlett, you were destined for success, with your kind caring nature."
