Alex Scott reveals he secretly made out with ‘very famous’ boyband singer

Alex Scott has revealed that he had a secret affair with a ‘very famous’ boy band member in 2019.

The 38-year-old footballer said she had kissed a singer from a ‘big’ group when she was on Strictly Come Dancing.

While he did not reveal who the mystery man was, many have come to believe that he was referring to Harry Styles.

Writing in his autobiography, How (Not) To Be Strong, he recalled: ‘This very handsome, very famous young man really went out of his way to woo me.

I won’t reveal his name, but he was in a boy band. A big one. And he pursued me very sweetly and tenaciously.

However, Alex was concerned that their romance would have a negative impact on her burgeoning television career.

She explained: ‘I had nothing to lose, but I was telling myself that my media career was just beginning.

‘If they made me a dad with this guy, I would always be known as ‘so-and-so’s girlfriend’ and people would think that I had only reached a certain level by taking advantage of his fame.

‘So apart from a few kisses here and there, I didn’t take things any further, how stupid.’

Investigation: Although he did not reveal who the mystery man was, many have come to believe that he was referring to Harry Styles.

He then added: ‘If you’re reading this Mr Boy Band, now you know why I kept you at arm’s length.

“But you’re a very nice and cute boy, and who knows, maybe we’ll end up at the same after party soon.”
