PICTURE EXCLUSIVE: Alex Scott flaunts her toned physique in a black crop top and shorts as she hits the pub with friend Jess Glynne

Pictured was Alex Scott on his way to the pub enjoying a pint with his girlfriend Jess Glynne in London on Thursday.

The BBC sports presenter, 38, showcased her taut abs in a fitted black crop top and shorts while making the most of the sunny weather.

Former soccer player Alex completed the casual look with trainers and a black and gold necklace by Van Cleef and Arpels – which cost a whopping £10,000.

Meanwhile, pop star Jess, 33, showed off her own slim waist in a cropped white T-shirt worn with baggy jeans.

The hitmaker teased her long, auburn look into a high ponytail and shielded her eyes behind stylish sunglasses.

The friends appeared in high spirits as they chatted and drank outside the pub before walking down the busy street together.

The friends were also pictured attending the Wimbledon tennis championships together in June.

Last month, Alex was announced as an ambassador for domestic violence charity Refuge, less than a year after she first spoke out about being abused by her father.

She said it was “an incredible honor” to join the charity with which she has worked closely since the publication of her book How (Not) To Be Strong in September 2022.

She added that she wants to use her voice and platform to raise awareness about domestic violence and “ensure women know what support is available.”

Refuge said they are extremely “proud” and “grateful” to Scott for their past and ongoing support.

In her memoir, Scott described her father, Tony, as a “controlling, violent drunk” who was “stupidly cruel,” and said that she and her brother often overheard him hitting their mother.

Her father vehemently denied the allegations, saying he was “tough but never violent”.

He added, “I have no idea why she’s saying all that.” Maybe she’s judging me by today’s standards, I don’t know. “Parents were a lot tougher back then.”

Alex replied to the BBC: “I’m almost mad at myself for allowing him to hurt me again through these claims.”

Since her father’s rejection, Scott has continued to talk about and reference her experiences while becoming a Refuge Ambassador.

She said: “I started working with Refuge after the publication of my book, which shared my experiences of domestic violence as a child.

“Since then, I’ve learned so much more about the scale of domestic violence in society and the impact sharing your experiences can have on other survivors.”

The former lioness, who has won 140 caps, revealed in June that she still suffers from horrible memories from her childhood.

Announcing Scott as a partner, Hetti Barkworth-Nanton, Chair of the Refuge Board of Trustees, said, “We know that by campaigning together, we can make real change.”

Joining Scott as a new ambassador is Rosemary Reed, creator of Sky Arts’ Living The Life.

Alex hasn’t publicly confirmed if she’s currently in a relationship with anyone, the former lioness opened up about her romance with teammate Kelly Smith in her memoir.

She openly admitted that her fellow athlete was her “first love” as she spoke of the “heartbreak” that followed after the split.

Meanwhile, back in 2015, Jess opened up about not putting a label on her sexuality in an interview with The Daily Star.

Saying, “I’ve only dated one girl in my life and that’s the girl from my album.” [2015’s I Cry When I Laugh]’.

Adding, “I will never put a label on my sexuality and people should never feel uncomfortable about who they love.”
