She won a lot of praise for her style with one fan comparing her to other legendary female presenters like Clare Balding.
A viewer said: “@AlexScott ok all-time favourite women presenters. Hazel Irvine best for snooker. Clare Balding best for horse racing, Kirsty Gallacher is my crush for football but you will beat all of them.
“Keep up the good work, you are top notch. And I’m a Spurs supporter…”
Another added: “Anybody with any sense knows how brilliant @AlexScott is at her job. The things she has done for football and the industry should be applauded.
“She continues to push the game forward and always stands up for what is right. I can’t think of many better role models within the game.”
A third wrote: “She’s brilliant, an absolute natural.”
Last weekend Scott was praised for her “total class” as she indirectly replied to Joey Barton’s tirade about female pundits.
Scott, 39, who had said she “doesn’t want to give Barton oxygen”, took aim with a passionate message on live TV.
The former Lioness and Arsenal star said during the BBC’s coverage of the WSL on Sunday: “To all of the women in football.
“In front of the camera and behind it, to the players and everyone that attends games.
“Keep being the role models that you continue to be to all those young girls that are told no you can’t.
“Football is a better place with us all in it.”
Scott braved the cold at Stockport and shared a video of her tucking into a Hatters speciality – Christmas dinner in a cup.
