Chloe Kelly’s exuberance got the better of her once again during the Lionesses’ wild celebrations as she swore live on BBC One.
The Lionesses hero was speaking to presenter Alex Scott on the mic in front of the thousands of fans gathered on The Mall to greet the Euro 2025 champions.
Kelly said: ‘It feels so good to stand side by side with every single one of these girls and the staff you don’t see behind the scenes. It’s so f****** special.’
Scott then apologised for the offensive language, with many young fans watching at the parade and on television at home.
Kelly’s interview only lasted a couple of minutes and Scott also chatted to Sarina Wiegman, Michelle Agyemang and Hannah Hampton on stage.
This is not the first time Kelly’s potty mouth has landed her in hot water and after Sunday night’s win in the final over Spain, ITV also had to apologise for her swearing.

England’s football royalty were greeted by thousands as they cruised down the Mall
With the euphoria of victory coursing through her veins having scored the winning penalty against Spain, Kelly said: ‘This team is made of magic and steel.
‘When we were down against Sweden and down against Italy, we f****** showed grit and determination and we came back.
‘You can’t write the English off.’
Kelly had shouted ‘f****** come on’ into the camera on Sunday after being presented with her medal by Prince William – to the amusement and hilarity of fans.
Given the remarkable scenes in London in front of fans, it’s little wonder Kelly allowed another slip of the tongue.
The squad was greeted by a thousands-strong crowd from atop a bus emblazoned with the slogan ‘2022 and 2025 European Champions’.
The Lionesses turned out in t-shirts that read ‘HOME’, with the ‘H’ stylised as a pair of letter ‘I’s in recognition of their two European titles on the trot, and red scarves bearing the Three Lions and the word ‘CHAMPIONS’.
Kerry Davis – the first Black women’s footballer to play for England – then helped to bring out the Euro 2025 trophy before the team hoisted it aloft in a flurry of red smoke to the cheers of thousands.

Wiegman even danced around on stage with Burna Boy while he performed in front of the team and supporters.
A tearful Leah Williamson told the crowds it had been like a ‘fairytale’, adding: ‘I’ve been crying all the way down the Mall. It’s unbelievable. It’s one of the best things we’ve ever been a part of.’
She continued: ‘There’s lots of ways to win a football match and we repeatedly did it the hard way. You can see how much we care about playing for England. How much we love it.’
Supporters turned out as much as 12 hours early to cheer on the team after they were crowned running European champions.
‘Tired – but on cloud nine. This is just unreal,’ Alessia Russo, who scored the equaliser that set England up for penalties, told the BBC.
‘It feels so nice to come back to England to celebrate with all our fans. It’s just a bit surreal. It’s crazy to see this many people come out heading up to Buckingham Palace. I’d have never dreamt of anything like it.’
