ITV cut away from England star Chloe Kelly during their interview after the forward scored the penalty that won England the Euros.
The broadcaster was forced to cut away from Kelly just moments after her spot-kick made it back-to-back Euros titles for Sarina Wiegman’s Lionesses.

Kelly was understandably ecstatic after coming back from behind thanks to Alessia Russo’s header, which forced the match to extra time and, eventually, a penalty shootout victory.
But her emotions got the better of her in a post-match interview on the pitch, with her X-rated choice of language forcing ITV to cut away and apologise to audiences.
Kelly said: “This team is made of magic and it’s made of steel.
“When we were down against Sweden, when we were down against Italy
“We f***ing showed great determination and we came back.
“You can’t write the English off!”
Kelly scored the deciding penalty of the shootout after deploying her signature hop run up before firing the ball into the roof of the net.
The pressure of any tournament deciding penalty is huge, but all the more so for Kelly, who saw her penalty against Italy saved earlier in the week, before following it in to tap home the rebound.

Kelly’s heroics were supported by those of 24-year-old stopper Hannah Hampton, who made two saves to keep the Lionesses in contention.
The title win makes them the first England team, male or female, to win a major international tournament on foreign soil.
It also marked three straight Euros titles for manager Wiegman, with the last tournament not won by the Dutch tactician taking place in 2013.
Kelly added: “[We are] History makers once again with an unbelievable manager behind us.
“Unbelievable team behind us in the staff members, every single one of them.
“And the fans, they’ve been incredible the whole tournament.
“I’m so proud to be English.”
After initially cutting her off, the broadcast did return to Kelly for one last comment.
Kelly signed off with an inspiring statement to the next generation of football stars.
She said: “Every girl out there with that dream – you can do it, keep shooting for the stars.”
