ALEX SCOTT was hailed as an "inspiration on and off the pitch" after revealing she'll be on the cover of Attitude magazine.

The former England and Arsenal defender - who went public last week with her relationship with musician Jess Glynne - will be on the cover of the British gay lifestyle mag's upcoming issue.

Scott, 38, wowed her followers on Thursday evening by revealing the cover of the bi-monthly mag, which has been in circulation for nearly 30 years.

The 38-year-old's cover shoot sees her wearing an elegant and flowing black dress which has a sprinkling of sparkles.

Featuring on the cover of the iconic mag is an honour Football Focus presenter Scott will never forget.

She wrote: "To follow other sporting legends onto the cover of @attitudemag and to receive this award is an honour.

"Thank you @cliffjoannou & @darren.styles for seeing me and in reflection allowing me to see my growth and how comfortable I have become in my own skin, knowing who I am, what I stand for and who I represent."

"Let’s continue to celebrate love in all its forms."

Scott made her red carpet debut alongside Jess at the Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards earlier this week in matching see-through dresses.

They joined a host of celebs were in attendance in Camden, London, for the ceremony that celebrates LGBTQ stars.

Alex, 38, wore a clingy black dress that exposed her underwear, while Jess, 33, copied her style in a body-stocking and black knee-high boots.

They were joined at the industry bash by stars Amanda Holden, Maisie Smith, and Louise Redknapp.

It comes as we revealed ex-England and Arsenal footballer Alex had been quietly seeing the superstar singer and the pair had grown close over a number of dates.

A friend of the pair told The Sun: “Alex and Jess have been a slow burn and they didn’t want to rush things or go public too soon.

“But they’re officially an item now and seem really happy.

"They are both strong, independent women with a shared passion and respect of their respective careers, supporting one another from the sidelines.

“It’s still early days for them, but they’ve met one another’s mates and everyone is super-happy for them.”
