Summary

Are you Red or Blue? In this week’s episode hear Liv speak with Lioness icon Ella Toone ahead of her FA Cup final game playing for Manchester United.

Anticipating a lively but pressurised environment ahead of the big day, Ella describes what a victory this weekend would mean for her and the team following their near win last season.

Hear her talk about the huge impact the Lionesses had on UK football after winning the Euros last year, and how it propelled her into overnight stardom: from getting papped when eating a pasty, to some of the nasty online trolling she’s received.

Also get a glimpse into the highs and lows of being a footballer: from always having to pick yourself back up when there are more losses than wins, negative chants or on pitch spats.

With homage to her hometown and the team she plays for, Manchester United, hear Liv and Ella share their favourite nights out, and some of the city’s best salt and pepper chicken. One not to miss.
