Alexandra Virina Scott MBE (born 14 October 1984) is an English sports presenter, pundit and former professional footballer who played as a right-back.

At international level, she made 140 appearances for the England national team and represented Great Britain at the 2012 Summer Olympics.

Alexandra Virina Scott was born on 14 October 1984 in Poplar, London, to a British mother with Northern Irish, English and Lithuanian-Jewish heritage and a Jamaican father.

With the addition of Scott, the club finished fourth in the FA Women's Premier League National Division.

She was also a key figure in Arsenal's historic "Quadruple" season in which they won all of their trophy competitions, including the 2006–07 UEFA Women's Cup.

Arsenal were the first ever British side to win the competition, with Scott scoring the only goal in the two-legged tie with Umeå IK.

[19] In November 2014, Scott headed powerfully past her own goalkeeper to give Germany the lead in England's crushing 3–0 defeat at Wembley Stadium.

[21] Scott was allotted 155 when the FA announced their legacy numbers scheme to honour the 50th anniversary of England's inaugural international.

[33] After the tournament, she continued to provide insight on the Premier League, and in August 2018, became the first female pundit on Sky Sports, joining the Super Sunday team.

In September 2019, Scott was a contestant on the 17th series of Strictly Come Dancing, paired with professional dancer Neil Jones.

Scott has spoken out repeatedly about the sexist abuse she frequently receives on social media because of her role as a football pundit.

[37] In July 2021, Scott was announced as the host of a new BBC daytime quiz show, The Tournament,[38] which began airing in November.

[43] On 10 March 2023, following the suspension of Gary Lineker as the host of Match of the Day for allegedly breaching BBC impartiality rules by criticising the government's asylum policy on Twitter, Scott sent a Bernie Sanders meme titled "nah not me" to indicate she would not present the following episode of the show in solidarity with Lineker.

In the campaign titled A Private Message, Scott starred opposite Ted Lasso actor Karen Johal.

[49] Scott was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2017 New Year Honours for services to football, she invited her mother, grandmother and niece to her investiture at Buckingham Palace and surprised her family with afternoon tea at The Ritz.

While she says she fell "madly and deeply in love" with Smith, Scott has not explicitly labelled her sexuality and has said she has been in relationships with both men and women.
