BBC World Cup host Alex Scott’s massive wages, net worth and £1.5m mansion | Football | Sport

Alex Scott is one of the BBC’s World Cup hosts for this summer’s tournament in North America. The ex-Arsenal player pivoted to broadcasting after retiring from football and has been a regular on the BBC’s punditry panel ever since.

She had been the face of Football Focus before the Beeb decided to scrap the long-standing football show, but Scott remains part of their line-up. And she’s set to feature regularly for the broadcaster during their coverage of the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Scott will be broadcasting World Cup shows from home, as the BBC opted against sending pundits out to the States for the tournament. They will send a team Stateside later on in the competition, and it remains to be seen whether Scott is part of that line-up.

As a result of her television work post-football career, Scott has been able to massively boost her net worth. The former England Lionesses ace has a reported net worth of £2milllion, which has been built up from her playing days and career in television.

Scott is on a hefty wage with the BBC, as the last figures show she earned around £220,000 between 2023 and 2024. For context, when Gary Lineker was on the BBC’s books, he was earning 1.35million, but Scott was still the fifth-highest paid face on BBC Sport’s roster, behind the ex-Three Lions star, Mark Chapman, Alan Shearer and Jason Mohammad.

It isn’t just in the football sphere where Scott has garnered attention, as she’s also featured on several reality TV programmes. Scott reached the quarter-finals of Strictly Come Dancing and was also on a recent edition of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!

Scott is currently said to be living at a stunning mansion in London, with her capital city abode having cost a reported £1.5million. Her home is believed to be equipped with a gym and a garden, with the footballer turned presenter having posted gym workouts from the house.

She’s believed to share the house with her partner Jess Glynne, with the power couple having been dating since 2023. They made their relationship official to the sound of much fanfare, with Glynne having enjoyed a successful career in the music industry.
