LIONESS hero Jill Scott had to dash off screen during a live broadcast after SPRINKLERS threatened to soak her and BBC presenter Jo Currie.

Euro 2023 champion Scott, 38, was assessing the first half of England women’s quarter-final Euros match against Sweden when calamity almost occurred.

The Lionesses found themselves trailing 2-0 to a dominant Sweden team in Switzerland on Thursday night, with Italy ready to face the victors in the semi-final.

A careless pass from Keira Walsh allowed London City star Kosovare Asllani to give Sweden an early lead within two minutes.

Arsenal striker Stina Blackstenius then doubled the gap by the 25th minute, as England felt the pressure from manager Sarina Weigman on the sidelines.

Former England midfielder turned Jungle Queen and beloved pundit Scott was assigned to analyze England‘s disappointing performance.

However, Scott and Currie nearly faced their own surprise challenge when errant sprinklers activated towards the end of the segment.

Scott exclaimed: “The crowd needs to rally behind them. England can turn this around.”

Currie warned Scott that a wave was approaching, prompting Scott to say: “Quickly, go, go” as they dashed off camera.

Host Gabby Logan initially appeared startled before regaining composure and joking: “Is it good luck to get hit by a sprinkler? I’m just grasping at straws here.”

A stellar save from Hannah Hampton held the score at 2-0 before half-time, with Weigman making no substitutions.

Yet in the 69th minute, a trio of substitutions saw Beth Mead, Michelle Agyemang, and Esme Morgan take the field as England aimed to mount a comeback and evade elimination.

England’s persistence paid off as super sub Chloe Kelly delivered two phenomenal assists in 103 SECONDS, sending the match into extra time.

The Arsenal star had barely been on the pitch for a minute when she set up Lucy Bronze’s back post header in the 79th minute, followed by Michelle Agyemang’s close-range finish in the 81st.

And the Lionesses secured a semi-final spot against Italy following “the most nerve-wracking penalty shootout of all time.”
