While this won’t be the former professional footballer’s first time presenting, it will be her first time fronting a quiz show. In an official statement, Alex said: "I’m hoping viewers will love the high energy it brings and watching all the fantastic contestants battle their way through the competition. It’s a show full of strategy and risk, where favourites can be overthrown and underdogs can end up top dog!"

Despite ultimately loving the experience, Alex was hesitant about accepting the new presenting gig. She said: "At first, I was apprehensive because it’s new territory for me, but I love a challenge as a broadcaster. This opportunity meant I could really be ‘me’, show my personality and explore a new role - and that really excited me! It was one of those professional occasions where you must listen to the information you’re being given, seek the advice from the team around you and make a decision, and I’m so glad I went for it."

The football pundit also revealed that there are some funny moments to look out for in the upcoming series. She said: "There was a funny moment in every single episode. I have really enjoyed listening to people’s battle cries, thinking they’re going to win and then lose."
The Tournament will air on BBC One on weekdays at 2.15 pm, from 8 November.
