England's football hero Hannah Hampton left viewers and BBC presenter Alex Scott in disbelief during a live interview when she requested a rather unconventional solution for a sudden nosebleed—a tampon.
The bizarre moment unfolded after Hampton's stellar performance in England's victory over the Republic of Ireland. As she sat down with Scott, blood began trickling from her nose, prompting the quick-thinking goalkeeper to ask, "Does anyone have a tampon? I can feel my nose bleeding."
Scott, a former England international herself, burst into laughter at the unexpected request, quipping, "I've got one in my bag!" The lighthearted exchange quickly went viral, with fans praising Hampton's composure and sense of humour.
Medical experts confirm that tampons can indeed be effective for nosebleeds due to their absorbent properties, though they're certainly not the most conventional solution. The incident has sparked amusing debates among football fans about the most unusual items repurposed in sports emergencies.
Hampton's unflappable attitude during the incident mirrors her performances on the pitch, where she's established herself as one of England's most reliable goalkeepers. The 23-year-old has become known for her quick reflexes—both in stopping shots and thinking on her feet during unexpected situations.
