Inside Alex Scott’s disastrous date with Coronation Street star after she reveals team mate romance
ALEX Scott opened up on the disastrous date she once went on with Coronation Street’s Sam Robertson.
The footie pundit was spotted out with Sam in 2020 as they enjoyed a cosy evening together at a restaurant.
But all wasn’t as it seemed, as Alex, 37, admits Coronation Street's Sam was “lovely,” but that she “never seems to have a lot of luck on dates.”
She told The Sun’s Fabulous Mag: “The next morning, our pictures were all over the press because someone in the restaurant had taken a photo.
“It wasn’t exactly a great start!”
Alex and Sam had a candlelit meal for two at fashionable Dean Street Townhouse in London’s Soho, sipping cocktails and chatting affectionately before heading away together later.

Onlookers said at the time that they looked to be having “a brilliant time” and were “flirting” openly.
The football star recently revealed she was “madly and deeply in love” with fellow Lionesses star Kelly Smith.
The former Arsenal star turned broadcaster had a secret long term relationship with Kelly when she was a young player.
And Alex will speak about their relationship in her new book
Speaking about writing about their love for the first time during a FANE talk in East London, Alex said: “I went back and forth on whether I’d actually be writing the chapter.
“But then it was one of those moments, I’m writing this book and I want to tell everything. I thought I’d be cheating you all if I didn’t put that in there. And for me, it’s like that first love story, I fell madly and deeply in love.

“And yes, there’s that heartbreak and those things, but it’s a huge part of my life and I wouldn’t go back and change that.
“Because that feeling of love and that excitement and what it gives you, it needed to be in there.”
Alex has previously never spoken about her sexuality and those close to her said she was open to dating both men and women.
A source said: “Alex dates both men and women and doesn’t label herself as anything.
“This isn’t her big coming out story but was a chapter in her life that she wanted to include in her book because it had such an impact on her.”
