Alex Scott reveals she nearly 'walked away' from the TV industry after a 'testing few months' in impassioned speech after RTS Awards win: 'Being a black female in this space has been a challenge'
The Football Focus host was awarded the Sports Presenter, Commentator or Pundit prize at the ceremony in London's Grosvenor House Hotel.
Celebrating her win with girlfriend Jess Glynne, Alex shared an impassioned speech on her Instagram Stories, highlighting the challenges she's faced as a black woman in a male-dominated industry. Alex's comments come after several female pundits, including Eni Aluko and Lucy Ward were singled out by former footballer Joey Barton, who has shared a series of vile sexist messages. In particular, Scott was targeted during coverage of the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, with crossbench peer Lord Digby Jones suggesting that she would benefit from lessons in elocution due to her East End accent.
