But Lionesses legend Scott and comedian Adam arrived almost half an hour late after taking care of other matters.

Soccer Aid has been shown on ITV ever since it was launched in 2006.

But the two latecomers were helping out ITV’s rivals, Channel 4, as part of their coverage of the Women’s FA Cup final.

Adam and Scott have co-hosted Channel 4’s coverage of the Women’s FA Cup throughout the season.

So it was only right that they were in situ for the biggest game of all – Manchester City’s 4-0 thumping of Brighton at Wembley.

That game kicked off at 3pm and finished at around 5pm.

But Scott and Adam then had to wrap up the coverage and make the 24-mile trip across to East London.
