Following their incredible and historic win at the Women's Euros on Sunday July 31, England player Chloe Kelly joined the Good Morning Britain team to discuss the nation's response.

Agreeing with Kate, Chloe said: "I was thinking 'Is it a free kick or a goal?' I didn't want to celebrate too much and I was still holding my shirt ready to take it off. Everything is a blur and you celebrate for what the moment is and I wanted to take my shirt off so I did. You see men do it all the time so I did it too."
On record as calling men's England footballer Bobby Zamora one of her idols, Chloe got a shock when he joined her via video call during the interview. Richard Madeley introduced the striker who sent his congratulations to the star player.
He said: "I'm touched to have you speak my name on such an amazing moment and you yourself have created the greatest English football female moment ever. You are an absolute hero, a national hero, and you should be so proud of yourself."
The message comes after Chloe mentioned Bobby during her press interviews where she admitted she hoped to follow in his footsteps. She said: "I said to my family this morning, imagine we get a Bobby Zamora moment and it’s me… and now it’s happened! Bloody hell! Unbelievable! This is what dreams are made of!"
