Lynsey Hipgrave wrote on Twitter at the time: “After a weekend of dreams coming true for women in football the dreams of a football-mad geordie lass have also come true. I couldn’t be prouder to be leading BT Sport’s Premier League coverage this season.

Following the news that Hipgrave would be taking the lead on BT Sport’s Premier League coverage, Jake Humphrey took to social media to react.

He said: “Ignore the misleading nonsense headlines. I spoke to BT about being too busy and we agreed I’d host less PL games. I’ll still host some, but one of my favourite people @lynseyhipgrave1 gets to lead the coverage and I couldn’t be happier for her.”
