Schoolgirl Belle McNally was picked out by England midfielder Mason Mount following Wednesday's nail-biting Euro 2020 victory over Denmark and received the player's shirt. Footage of Belle breaking into tears on receiving the prized jersey quickly went viral. Now the youngster has revealed the England top has been "hidden it in a drawer" and will not be washed "because it smells like Mason."

       LBC host Tom Swarbrick asked the youngster: "How was that then, when you got given the shirt, how did it feel?"

       "It was amazing," replied Belle.

       "I had so many mixed emotions, I was so shocked, I didn't know what to do, so I just went up to my dad, hugged this shirt, and it was just all crazy."

       Mr Swarbrick then asked: "I read that you've actually seen Mason Mount before?"

       The schoolgirl explained that Mount may have spotted her from the England bus when she waved as the coach went past prior to the game.

       "Tell me what you've done with the shirt in the last day or two," asked the LBC host.

       I've actually hidden it in a drawer because I don't want anybody to touch it," replied Belle.

       "Because it smells like Mason, and I'm worried that if someone touches it the scent is going to go."

       Mr Swarbrick jokingly suggested: "That shirt is never going to get washed at all, ever, is it?"

       "No never", claimed the young fan.

       Her father, Tom was later asked whether the family were looking to secure Belle tickets for the Euro Final on Sunday to see England take on Italy.

       "We did put a plea out in order to try and get Belle to the final," he said.
