"You can't help who you fall in love with" | Beth Mead opens up on her sexuality & football journey

[@theruthcarlson]

What a great interview. Even the staging, not angled at the presenter, giving Beth the space and limelight she deserves :)

[@bermondsey548428]

Let me have a guess she's a lady's lady nudge nudge wink wink

[@Bart_Allen_YT]

Vivianne is an absolute class act both on and off the pitch. Her work with common goal, the less fortunate children, gender equality is commendable. While on the field, her goal scoring exploits are second to none.

[@Leornianæfre]

I cannot believe some of the comments on this page. Attacking Beth Mead and other women players for their sexuality. Beth can love whoever she wants. It's nobody else's business. The only thing that matters is that she keeps doing the business for Arsenal and England. All of your bores, bigots and religious zealots shouldn't you be off on the Mail online slagging off Meghan Markle or climate change activists.

[@Truthnowhere2020]

She is a great player and role model but I fail to understand what exactly her sexuality has to do with how she plays the game, or how it affects anyone playing any sport. Whilst I understand "fake" fans may get on her back it actually isn't anyone else's business. Do we care what her favourite pizza topping is? What her preferred shampoo is? No. Why has sexual preference become a talking point is sport's reporting when it has very little to do with sport?
