Both Clare Balding and Gabby Logan have been in the industry for many years but TV bosses will be hoping Alex Scott will bring a fresh new and inspiring look to the awards show.

Alex Scott, 40, is best known as the former professional footballer-turned-broadcaster and has quickly become one of the most respected voices in sports media. She has co-hosted Sky Sports’ Goals on Sunday alongside Chris Kamara and has been a regular host on Soccer Aid, The One Show and Children In Need.

The sports star has been in a relationship with singer Jess Glynne since July 2023 and made their red carpet debut at the AMFAR gala in Cannes in May 2024. A month later high-street brand Marks and Spencer appointed Alex Scott as its first ever activewear ambassador.
