Alex Scott
Alex Scott MBE is a BBC football presenter and former Arsenal and England defender with 140 caps. A broadcaster, author, and speaker, she shares stories on elite sport, women's football, and breaking barriers at corporate and after-dinner events.
Alex Scott MBE is one of the BBC's lead football presenters and a former Arsenal and England defender with 140 caps. She talks about elite sport, live broadcasting, breaking into male-dominated spaces, and what strength looks like under pressure.
Alex was among the lead presenters of BBC coverage of the 2026 World Cup, co-hosts BBC Sports Personality of the Year, and leads its Women's Super League coverage. She was the first permanent female host of Football Focus, won an RTS award in 2020, and wrote the Sunday Times bestseller How (Not) To Be Strong.
As a player, Alex won the 2007 quadruple with Arsenal, scored the winner in that season's UEFA Women's Cup final, and played at three World Cups and the London 2012 Olympics. Moving from the pitch to presenting live to millions gives her first-hand stories on performing under pressure and earning your place.
Audiences take away lessons from the themes of her memoir: finding your voice, knowing when to ask for help, and embracing uncertainty. Alex is at her best in conversation, with plenty of room for audience questions and a good few laughs.
For an awards night, after-dinner slot, or International Women's Day conversation, Alex brings a household name and stories from football's biggest stages.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
