Alex Scott moves into her new £1.5 million home in London with the help of moving men

Alex Scott was seen moving into her new £1.5 million home in London on Thursday.

The former professional footballer, 36, looked relaxed as she started bringing stuff into her new home with the help of two removal men. 

They were seen assisting her by carrying a mattress for a double bed and a Peloton exercise bike through the front door.

Alex kept things casual for her moving day as she donned a black and blue beanie over a pair of black leggings that highlighted her slender figure.

She also kept off the winter chill by wearing a black rain coat that had a white faux-fur trim, but took it off once she started bringing stuff to her new home. 

The TV presenter swept her raven tresses back into a bun and added a pop of colour to her casual chic look by accessorising with a red headband. 

Last year, it was revealed Alex 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.’
