Chloe Kelly’s infectious passion for football shone through once again during the Lionesses’ Euro 2025 victory parade—but so did her unfiltered excitement. The England star dropped an F-bomb live on BBC One while addressing thousands of fans celebrating the team’s back-to-back European championships on The Mall.
Emotions Overflow on Stage
Interviewed by Alex Scott amidst roaring crowds, Kelly exclaimed: *“It feels so good to stand side by side with every single one of these girls and the staff behind the scenes. It’s so f** special!” Scott swiftly apologized for the expletive, acknowledging young viewers. Kelly later posted an Instagram story: “Oops, emotions got the better of me. Sorry for the F bomb. Love CK.”*
This wasn’t Kelly’s first slip-up. After scoring the winning penalty in Sunday’s final against Spain, she jubilantly declared on ITV: *“When we were down against Sweden and Italy, we f** showed grit! You can’t write the English off!”* The broadcaster also issued an apology.

A Celebration Fit for Champions
The Lionesses, donning “HOME” jerseys (with a dual-trophy nod in the design), waved from an open-top bus rolling past Buckingham Palace. Fans lined the streets hours early, cheering as players like Leah Williamson and Alessia Russo held the trophy aloft amid red smoke.
Williamson, tearful, called the win a “fairytale,” adding, “We repeatedly did it the hard way, but you see how much we care about playing for England.” Russo echoed the sentiment: “It’s surreal—I never dreamed of crowds like this.”
