‘Remarks won’t stop me’
ALEX Scott said she wants to continue as a football presenter despite receiving misogynistic remarks - as she feels it is her “responsibility to change perceptions”.
The former Arsenal and England star, 37, will be on the panel of BBC pundits during the upcoming Women’s European Championship.
Hosts England are among the favourites to win the tournament, which begins on July 6 and runs until the end of the month.
Scott told the Radio Times the transition from football star to TV pundit has not been easy.
She has faced push back, including from former Labour minister and ex-House of Lords member Digby Jones last year, who criticised her pronunciation and asked if someone could give her elocution lessons.
The TV presenter said: “It’s my responsibility to change perceptions by sitting in that chair and talking about football.”
