The One Show hosts Roman Kemp and Clara Amfo spoke to England Lioness Lucy Bronze and Girls Aloud star Nicola Roberts on Thursday’s show.
BBC The One Show hosts Roman Kemp and Clara Amfo welcomed two special guests onto Thursday evening’s programme (August 28).
The show, which recently featured JB Gill chatting with two EastEnders stars about an upcoming on-screen reunion, saw the BBC presenters invite England Lioness Lucy Bronze and Girls Aloud’s Nicola Roberts onto the famous green sofa.
But before the interviews got underway, Roman didn’t hesitate to pose a unique question to Lucy from a viewer – something he revealed had never happened before.
He explained: “I’ve got to say, we’ve been inundated with questions, I actually- this is probably a first. I’ve never been asked this question to a guest straight from a viewer.
“Gillian has gone straight in. How is your leg? I don’t think that’s ever been asked on here before! But how is it?”
Chuckling, the football star quipped that there was a first time for everything, reports Wales Online.
She responded: “Yeah, it’s doing better. Obviously, playing with it wasn’t going to help it, it wasn’t going to heal it. So, time is a healer isn’t it? I’m giving myself a few weeks to get better.”
Roman explained her injury to audiences – a fractured tibia – which he admitted sounded like ‘hell on earth’.
He questioned the England star about how severe the pain was during matches and how she managed to persuade boss Sarina Wiegman to let her continue playing.
Lucy revealed there was no convincing needed as she was determined to feature in the match.
She said: “It was like, ‘Ok, we need to look after you Lucy, we ned to make sure that you’re doing the right things’.
“I was like, I will, I know what I’m doing. So it was a lot of pain to manage and things like that but, our medical team are fantastic.
“Serena was really good, yeah I’ve had pain in my body for a number of years because of other injuries so what’s one more thing? Just get on with it.”
During their conversation, Lucy was stunned by a video message from teammate Chloe Kelly, who commended her for battling through her injury.
The One Show is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
