LIONESS hero Jill Scott was forced to run off screen on live TV after SPRINKLERS threatened to drench her and BBC presenter Jo Currie.
Euro 2023 winner Scott, 38, was analysing the first-half of England women’s quarter-final Euros clash against Sweden – when disaster almost struck.

The Lionesses saw themselves 2-0 down to a rampant Sweden side in Switzerland on Thursday night, with Italy awaiting the winner in the semi-final.
Keira Walsh‘s sloppy pass bounced back in line for London City star Kosovare Asllani to fire Sweden into an instant lead inside two minutes.
Before Arsenal striker Stina Blackstenius doubled the deficit by the 25th minute, with England feeling the wrath of manager Sarina Weigman on the sidelines.
Former England midfielder turned Jungle Queen and much-loved pundit Scott was tasked with dissecting England‘s sorry performance.
But Scott and presenter Currie almost suffered a surprise attack of their own when a rogue set of sprinklers came their way towards the end of the segment.
Scott said: “The crowd need to get behind them. England can come back from this.”
Currie then warned Scott that a tidal wave was coming their way, before Scott said: “Quickly, go, go” as the pair ran off screen.
Host Gabby Logan first looked shocked before composing herself and joking: “Is it good luck to get hit by a sprinkler? I’m just clutching at straws here.”

A fabulous save from Hannah Hampton avoided 3-0 before half-time, as Weigman made zero subsitutions at half-time.
But a triple change saw Beth Mead, Michelle Agyemang and Esme Morgan brought on in the 69th minute as England tried to fightback and avoid elimination.
But England’s hard work paid off with super sub Chloe Kelly providing two incredible assists in 103 SECONDS to send the tie to extra-time.
The Arsenal star had been on the pitch for just one minute before laying it on for Lucy Bronze’s back post header in the 79th minute, and Michelle Agyemang’s close range poke in the 81st.
And the Lionesses set up a semi-final against Italy after “the most stressful penalty shootout of all time”.
