Alex was all smiles as she celebrated her birthday, despite revealing that she has been accused of ‘ticking a box’ in her post-football career as a presenter. 

She has been at the centre of much discussion – and relentless online trolling – amid rumours that she’s set to to replace Sue Barker on A Question Of Sport who was axed after 24 years. 

Speaking to Women’s Health’s Going For Goal podcast, Alex 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.’

Alex currently has a career in broadcasting, notably appearing as a pundit during the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup, having retired from football in 2017.  

She went on to admit to Women’s Health that she goes to therapy, describing it as being ‘like an awakening’.

She said: ‘I absolutely love it. Some people think, oh going to therapy, why am I going to have someone tell me about myself, I know about myself, but it’s like a weight off my shoulders every single time I go. It has given me tools to deal with things.’
