Alex Scott has been praised by football fans across the world after defying FIFA's rules and wearing a One Love armband during a live broadcast.

The One Love band contains the rainbow colours associated with the Pride flag and was seen to be a strong statement in Qatar, a country which criminalises same-sex relationships.

Ahead of England's 2022 World Cup debut against Iran, captain Harry Kane was due to wear the arm band as well as Wales skipper Gareth Bale during their match against the United States this evening.

However, in a joint statement announced on Monday morning from seven European nations who had signed up to the One Love campaign – including England and Wales – confirmed the armbands will no longer be worn due to fear of a yellow card being issued.

Alex Scott hits out as she's called a hypocrite over armband 'Not trying to hide anything'
 Alex Scott, 38, has blasted one critic on Twitter today in view of her 400,100 followers after a journalist insinuated she was a hypocrite for choosing to wear a One Love armband live on the BBC.The star wore the One Love token in support of the LGBTQ+ community, even after the England team decided to do a U-turn on wearing the armbands for the World Cup.FIFA’s decision to hold the World Cup in Qatar has caused massive controversy this year due to the country’s alleged treatment of women, migrants and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Alex made her stance clear when she wore her One Love armband live while fronting the BBC's coverage of England's opening match in the World Cup on Monday, following the announcement that the Three Lions wouldn’t be making a statement during Qatar’s tournament. Journalist Kelvin MacKenzie took to Twitter today to accuse Alex of double standards over her defiant move. He wrote: “BBC commentator @AlexScott wanted to appear defiant by wearing the One Love armband in Qatar. READ MORE: “But on @GBNEWS @danwootton produced a photo showing her enjoying herself a few years ago in Dubai where being gay is illegal. “What no armband! Well, there weren't any BBC cameras,” he added in the thinly-veiled dig.“Is that the strongest thing you have to try and take me down?” Alex fired back with a laughing emoji. “If you go through my Instagram and Twitter I’ve not removed or trying to hide anything… “I’ve also travelled to Iraq, Papua New Guinea, Rwanda the list is all there for you to see,” she added with a GIF of Kamala Harris looking unimpressed.A number of Alex’s fans and followers also took to the comments section to defend her, with Shane writing: “Bizarre that you are getting abuse for doing what the

Gary Lineker admits regret as BBC 'sportswashed' by Russia 2018 World Cup amid Qatar fury
Gary Lineker, 61, has spoken about the BBC being “sportswashed” after choosing to condemn the World Cup for being held in Qatar at the weekend.The star has admitted he also failed to see the controversial elements of the tournament back in 2018, which was held in Russia. Gary expressed how he felt the BBC should have spoken up about Russia back then, and that he feels “uncomfortable” when he thinks about the “sportswashing” that occurred from the broadcaster.Reflecting on his stance four years ago, Gary suggested he regretted not calling out Russia in the same way he has done with Qatar. He added that the BBC had not done enough to tackle the controversies of the 2018 host nation at the time.“I think we were sportswashed four years ago, when it was in Russia,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Media Show. READ MORE: “I think we were all going how great it was, and this and that and the other, and that’s how sportwashing works. “We didn’t talk perhaps enough about the other issues.So it was deemed the right thing to do.”FIFA has been criticised for allowing the World Cup to go ahead in Qatar due to the country’s treatment of the LGBTQ community and women in the Middle Eastern country.Ahead of the opening game between the hosts and Ecuador on Sunday, Gary delivered an introduction that drew attention to the rights of migrant workers, LGBT people and women in the nation as part of the BBC’s coverage.While many are calling this the “most controversial World Cup in history”, Gary has argued that when Russia hosted the competition four years ago, it should have faced just as much scrutiny.Russia’s ruthless invasion of Ukraine at the time, which escalated into a war earlier this year, should have sparked a lot more criticism according to

'Fear where there should be none' Fern Britton weighs into Fifa armband row after U-turn
Fern Britton, 65, is one of many who have weighed in on the controversy about wearing the OneLove armband at the World Cup in Qatar.The accessory is a gesture of solidarity within the LGBT community, in a country where homosexuality is punishable.Same-sex sexual activity is prohibited under the Penal Code 2004, which criminalises acts of 'sodomy' and 'sexual intercourse' between people of the same sex.For months, captains have said they would wear the band and were willing to pay a fine as a punishment if it came their way.However, in a turn of events, the likes of England, Wales, Belgium, Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands today announced they had decided to backdown as the move could result in them not being able to play.The current FIFA equipment rules state that: "At FIFA tournaments, match staff must wear official clothing and equipment provided by FIFA, including FIFA event badges specified and provided by FIFA."Taking to Twitter, Fern voiced her thoughts on the matter.The author shared an article which had the headline, 'England and Wales decide not to wear OneLove armband at World Cup after FIFA threat'.In view of her 126,000 followers, she wrote: "Fear where there should be none."Many of her fans also weighed in on the controversy on her post.Jess Rocks wrote: "No there shouldn’t be, but the reality is this is the Middle East we are talking about... What did they expect Fern?"Mr Neale commented: "We should have boycotted the whole thing!"Pedro added: "Shame."The FA statement on Monday morning read: "FIFA has been very clear that it will impose sporting sanctions if our captains wear the armbands on the field of play.

Alex Scott feared walking home after death threats trying to force her to quit
“Like, we've seen in the past of some presenters what's happened.Stalking… All of that stuff.“So, all of that anxiety goes through my head, like, I want to just be safe, like I’m just going to work.”Alex had previously addressed the mental health struggles she had faced throughout her life and how at one point she even turned to alcohol.Having had a successful career playing for the Arsenal Women's Team, the retired football star turned to presenting, which came with horrifying trolling on social media and led her to seek therapy.In a candid admission, the sports star said she turned to drink and added no one had any "idea what [she] went through".Alex spoke out in an interview earlier this year while promoting her book How (Not) To Be Strong.She said: "I’ve lived my whole life putting on an act, and there's a lot of things in it that people will have no idea that I went through."I'm at a stage in my life where I just want some freedom, and I've managed to feel like it's a time where I can [be open.]"I think everyone will be shocked at the stories in the book", she told Time Out London.Alex also candidly opened up about her drinking habit that formed due to serious online abuse.Alex said: “When I retired, getting trolled, I found that I was turning to drink to try and hide everything, hide what I was feeling."Looking at my daily life, many would wonder how I could be ‘depressed’. But mental illness doesn’t work like that."It’s so easy to think there are people worse off than us and we have no right to feel sorry for ourselves.
