Kelly Somers issues apology to Alex Scott live on BBC during FA Cup fifth round draw | Football | Sport
Kelly Somers issued an apology to Alex Scott at the end of the FA Cup fifth round draw on Monday evening. The draw was screened live on the BBC, with Premier League giants Manchester United and Manchester City both being handed home ties.
The draw was carried out by former Arsenal stars Theo Walcott and Scott, with the Football Focus presenter emptying a bag of balls into a container before it commenced.
Walcott picked out the home teams, while Scott was on hand to draw the away sides.
As the draw was about to end, Scott was given the task of picking out the final ball, which was the No. 6 of Ipswich.
When she read out the number, Somers stated: “It should be Ipswich Town.” And Scott momentarily thought the draw had gone wrong due to the host’s clumsy wording.
The former right-back looked on confused and then placed her hand to her chest as she exclaimed: “Ohh, you scared me then. I was like…”
Walcott and Scott burst into laugher as they realised there had been no disaster. And Somers reassured the duo: “Perfectly done – do not worry.”
Somers then issued an apology as she said: “Sorry for scaring you there, it was expertly done.”
