Alex Scott showed off her eccentric sense of style in a new photoshoot on Friday.

The former professional footballer, 36, looked sensational in new snaps that she also shared via Instagram, which put her enviable figure on display.

Alex combined comfort with style for the photoshoot by slipping into a pair of multi-coloured Nike trousers that had a geometric pattern.

She then boosted her statuesque figure in a pair of grey heeled boots, which offset her casual chic attire as she showed her funny side by kicking her leg in the air.

The TV presenter wore her brunette locks in a slicked back style, and accessorised with a pair of orange tinted cat-eye shades to complete the look.

Last year, it was revealed she had been tipped to replace Sue Barker on the BBC series A Question Of Sport, after impressing BBC bosses during previous appearances on the show.

Sue was axed as of host of the series after 24 years, alongside the team captains Matt Dawson and Phil Tuffnell.

A source claimed Alex being in consideration for the presenting job had ‘nothing to do with gender, nor is it a case of the BBC trying to be woke’.

The insider told The Sun that Alex was being ‘lined up’ as Sue’s replacement because of her sporting knowledge and experience.

They said: ‘Like Sue, she’s a former sportswoman and she also has five years of broadcasting under her belt. This has nothing to do with gender, nor is it a case of the BBC trying to be woke.

‘While a lot can happen over the next three months, as things stand Alex is genuinely considered the best woman for the job.’

Alex had previously guest-starred on A Question Of Sport twice, with one occasion broadcast in November 2016.

During her athletic career, Alex represented Great Britain at the London 2012 Olympics and was awarded an MBE in 2016.

The former professional footballer made 140 appearances for the English national team, and helped to score 12 goals.

After retiring from football in 2017, she went on to become the first female pundit for Sky Sport’s Super Sunday show.

Alex has plenty of presenting experience as she has also co-presented CBBC’s Match of the Day Kickabout and BBC One’s The Women’s Football Show. 

Recently, she also hosted BBC’s Sport Personality Of the Year 2020 for the first time.

Alex had previously admitted she is continually accused of ‘ticking a box’ in her broadcasting career, during an appearance on Women’s Health’s Going For Goal podcast.

She said: ‘Every job that I’m linked to and every job that I’m going to be doing on screen for the next couple of years, I know the first thing people will be saying – a lot of it because it is already happening – it’s because I’m ticking a box.

‘I came back from playing professional in America in 2012 just before the London Olympics, I was already thinking about my career after sport then.

‘I went and I did a media degree in 2013 – I spent two years doing that for this same reason, so that no one could ever say that I was just ticking a box.’
