Alex Scott will be undergoing a career change of sorts after landing a job as a host on KISS radio.
Scott is known as a presenter and pundit covering both men’s and women’s football matches, on Sky Sports and the BBC.
The former Arsenal player will present her first show on KISS on Sunday at 7 p.m., playing two hours of ‘old skool anthems’.
Speaking about her new role on KISS, Scott shared The mirror: ‘Everyone knows I love football, but music is just as much a part of who I am and I’m happy to be back with the KISS team and dig into my collection to get some more Old Skool anthems every Sunday to share.
“I hope to continue those weekend vibes into Sunday evening and get everyone ready for the new week.”

In a promotional video for her new show, Scott discussed some of her favorite music and recalled listening to The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
Scott also revealed that the first gig she attended was Mary J Blige at Wembley, while she also listened to LL Cool J.
The ex-England international, who is also a regular guest presenter of The One Show, will continue her commitments in the football media.
Last month, Scott was criticized by former footballer Joey Barton for her presentation on Football Focus.
Barton accused Scott of ‘running Football Focus into the ground’.
Speaking on his podcast Common Sense with Joey Barton, Barton said: ‘She’s about to run Football Focus, a flagship, into the ground. We have her to thank for that.
“And then people come back to me and say she has a degree in sports journalism. I’m like “who cares, she’s trash, who cares?”
“She doesn’t have a degree in anything, she sucks. She has a degree in boring people to death, that’s why they quit.’
