Alex Scott channels Dennis the Menace as she heads out to celebrate 37th birthday
FOOTIE pundit Alex Scott heads out to celebrate her birthday — looking like Dennis the Menace.
She wore a sequinned dress in red and black stripes to mark her 37th at a restaurant in London’s Mayfair.
It’s the same colour combination as the Beano comic character — and even featured a Gnasher-like dog image.
Alex, also in thigh-high boots, tweeted: “Thank you for all the birthday love, feeling blessed.
“Been on a juice ‘detox’ retreat all week but the weekend is calling my name – it is game over and time to celebrate.”
Recently Alex fought back tears on Who Do You Think You Are? when she learnt her great grandfather owned 26 slaves.
Alex was horrified to find her 4x great grandfather Robert Francis Coombs was a slave owner with over two dozen people captive at his huge property in Jamaica.
The Football Focus host was shown records of those enslaved to Robert between 1817 and 1832 in the upcoming episode of the BBC documentary show.
A stunned Alex asks: “In my family line – this doesn’t sound right coming out of my mouth – but Robert Francis Coombs owned people?”
The historian explained Coombs received preferential treatment for being light-skinned, and it wasn’t unusual for free black people to own slaves at the time.
Fighting tears, Alex replied: “In terms of explaining my emotion behind it, I suppose that goes against everything that I stand for, who I am.”
