Eight-year-old Tess was left speechless when sports presenter Gabby Logan surprised her with tickets to see England's Lionesses in the Women's Euro Final this weekend.
Live on air during coverage of the other semi final, Logan told the young England fan from Yorkshire that they'd love to have her and a chaperone down at the stadium for the final and even invited her up to the box to chat with the other presenters. This will be the first Women's EURO final at Wembley, making it an exciting moment for any young football fan.
England fan Tess already won over the country when a video of her dancing along to 'Sweet Caroline' went viral. Now, the video of her hearing that she'll be at the final is also exploding online.

"That would be great," was all Tess could say when Logan broke the news to her, looking off-screen to equally excited family. Bouncing on the sofa, the little England fan could hardly contain her excitement when Logan said that the BBC would be treating Tess and a guest to free tickets to the Euro Final 2022.
Gabby continued: "Because I've got a couple of tickets, and I'd love, from everyone here at the BBC, to give them to you and to bring somebody with you - can you decide who it'll be, Tess?"
A visibly overjoyed Tess struggles to find any words as she covers her mouth with her hands after throwing her arms over her head in shock.
Gabby then adds: "You can work it out, who you'll bring - you can bring your mum, gran, whoever. And I'm sure Alex and the rest of the team would love to meet you as well, if you can pop up to the studio and say 'hi' to us before the match, that would be amazing.
"Alright, Tess?" Gabby asks, as Tess nods her head excitedly. "Because I think the Lionesses need you support, well, we certainly need to see your singing again."
The video of Tess in her full England kit, fist pumping and dancing along to 'Sweet Caroline' was shared by BBC Sport on July 26, gathering heaps of positive messages about how inspiring young girls is exactly what women's football is all about.
The Women's Euro Final will kick off at 5pm on Sunday July 31 at London's Wembley Stadium. England will be playing Germany, after the team beat France at the semi-final on Wednesday evening.
