Alex Scott's estimated net worth is £2m, built largely through her media career, and she lives in a £1.5m London home with partner Jess Glynne, following the BBC's decision to axe Football Focus.
The 41-year-old was the final presenter of the long-running Saturday lunchtime show, which aired for the last time at the end of the previous season. The BBC said the decision was motivated by "changing audience behaviours."
Scott on Football Focus axe
Scott, a Lionesses legend, said it had been "incredibly special" to have been part of Football Focus but admitted: "Sometimes things change, but when this show began all those years ago, social media wasn't a driving force, podcasts didn't exist, and there was no instant access to information in the way there is today."
"Now, by the time that we go on air, the reality is that you have already seen it, debated it, and lived it across so many platforms. That shift has changed the whole industry."
Scott hasn't severed ties with the BBC and is a regular host of Sports Personality of the Year with Gabby Logan and Clare Balding, while she also worked on the World Cup.
Net worth and career highlights
Much of Scott's estimated £2m net worth has been built through her post-football media career, with roles including Football Focus and Sports Personality of the Year, plus various presenting and punditry positions.
She became the first female pundit to work on Sky Sports' flagship Super Sunday show. Her BBC salary was £205,000-£209,000 for the period 2024-25, making her one of the highest-paid football presenters at the corporation. She will also have been paid well for appearances on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here and Strictly Come Dancing.
London home and new show
Scott has lived in her £1.5m London home since March 2021 and now shares it with Glynne. The pair got together in 2023 after meeting at a club in London and regularly make public appearances together.
The property includes a gym with a Peloton bike, pale walls, an array of paintings, a large white bookshelf, and a guitar in the corner. Outside, the garden features grey decking and a cosy seating area.
Scott now fronts the Women's Super League YouTube show, One More Word: The WSL, launched through her own company, First Cap Productions. Glynne appeared in the first episode to greet guests and take their pictures, and has also popped up in behind-the-scenes clips on the show's Instagram page.
Scott explained the show's development: "For the last four months, I've been building a new show in the background, something I can't wait to share more information on with you soon."
"Then this past week, I watched the women's football community explode with opinions, frustration, ideas and passion, and I thought: this is exactly why I started First Cap."
"Because sometimes you don't need permission, you just need to say, 'Right, let's do it.' So we did. One More Word went from an idea to a real show."
"No funding, no big budget, no fancy studio, just people from the women's football community who believed in it: building the set, bringing the equipment, sharing ideas, showing up, saying, 'I'm in.' I can't thank you all enough."
