London Live, the capital’s TV channel, has announced that female football player, Alex Scott will be joining the sports team as a new presenter. Alex Scott will present alongside former football and TV personality Jimmy Bullard on Jimmy Bullard Kicks Off from 15th January 2016.

“When I was offered the chance to present with my mate Jimmy, I jumped at the chance. I’m a big fan of ‘Kicks Off’ and loved being on the show as a guest a few weeks ago, so when I was asked to join the team I was thrilled. Over the last few years women’s football has grown considerably and I hope that I can continue to help build awareness both as a footballer and now as a broadcaster too.” – Alex Scott, Arsenal and England football player

Every Friday, Jimmy and Alex will present Jimmy Bullard Kicks Off that will continue to feature celebrity and sporting guest interviews, looking ahead at upcoming games and discussing the latest football and sports news with sports journalists. With Alex now on board, viewers can expect lots of fun and banter and new challenge-focused features that will kick-start the weekend in style.

The Arsenal captain and England Vice-captain, is one of the UK’s most decorated players in women’s football and will take the ‘Kicks Off’ team to the next level, as well as giving unprecedented access, news and insights into one of the world’s fastest growing sports – women’s football.

“Alex is hugely respected in the football world and a big presenting talent, as shown in her recent work for Arsenal TV and Soccer AM. She has a fantastic warm, down- to-earth, fun personality and will undoubtedly complement Jimmy’s hilarious character. We’ve been delighted with the feedback on Monday’s show since Jason took the hot seat. Jason has demonstrated his natural authoritative, presenting flair alongside some pretty controversial opinions and has really engaged with viewers. With so much sport happening over the weekend it’s a natural progression to give our viewers more of the analysis and debate they are enjoying, and we are delighted to reward Jason with an expanded role fronting the whole show.” – Lucy Myers Programme Director for London Live
