Coronation Street actress Lucy Fallon has subtly shown her support for England's World Cup team ahead of their semi-final match against Argentina. The 30-year-old, who plays Bethany Platt on the ITV soap, took to Instagram on Wednesday morning with a selfie that hinted at her backing for the Three Lions.
England's World Cup Journey
Thomas Tuchel's squad secured their place in the semi-finals after a 2-1 victory over Norway on Saturday, July 11, following a 3-2 Round of 16 win against Mexico. Jude Bellingham's brace was instrumental in the win. England now faces Argentina on Wednesday, July 15, in Atlanta.
Lucy's Subtle Nod to Football Anthem
In her Instagram Story, Lucy shared a selfie as she headed to her car, wearing a white top with 'Vindaloo' in bold red lettering. The shirt is widely recognized as a reference to the 1998 song by British band Fat Les, which was recorded for the 1998 FIFA World Cup. The music was co-written by Blur bassist Alex James and bassist Guy Pratt. Fans interpreted this as a subtle nod to the World Cup spirit.
Stunning Hair Transformation
Earlier this month, Lucy debuted a new hair transformation on social media, receiving an outpouring of compliments. The Blackpool-born star posted a video showing off her blonder and longer tresses, captioned: "hair day is my fave day @meg.whittaker.hair."
Her Coronation Street co-star Tina O'Brien, who plays her on-screen mother Sarah Platt, commented: "STUNNING" with love heart eyes emojis. Former castmate Helen Flanagan wrote: "Stunning girl x I miss you." Fans also praised the look, with @paigey_ren09 saying: "Girl, you look absolutely pretty!" and @rushyi9 adding: "You look sensational."
