💥Tensions were high behind the scenes at Soccer Aid as hosts Dermot O’Leary and Alex Scott found themselves in a bit of a pickle! With Arsenal clashing against PSG in the Champions League final, both were itching to catch the match. Dermot even tried to wiggle out of rehearsals to journey to Budapest, but alas, bosses at ITV said, “no way!” 🚫✈️
Over on Instagram, Alex shared her view watching the intense final from home base at the Emirates Stadium! Talk about dedication to duty! Meanwhile, Dermot’s jokingly insisting, “I’m so ready for this, no rehearsals needed!” But ITV wasn’t having it – they wanted everyone on that stage, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed! 🎥⚽️
After all, Soccer Aid is a big deal! This year, we’ve got football legends like Wayne Rooney, Theo Walcott, and Jill Scott showcasing their skills alongside celebs like Paddy McGuinness and Angry Ginge. 🤩
Viewers will remember last year’s hiccup with some colourful language from Tyson Fury and Harry Redknapp, but Dermot and Alex handled it like pros. Expect nothing less from these two seasoned hosts this year! After all, it’s all for a good cause, and even Dermot admits it’s a “big responsibility” to be part of this charitable event. 🏆
Tune in this Sunday for Soccer Aid at West Ham’s London Stadium! Coverage kicks off at 5pm on ITV1, so grab your popcorn and get comfy for a star-studded evening of footie fun! 🍿⚽️
