ALEX SCOTT put sport in the driving seat at the Baftas with a racy red-carpet display.

The BBC football presenter chose a see-through, backless beige dress for the prestigious small-screen awards night at London’s Royal Festival Hall.

The former Lionesses and Arsenal right-back, 39, has become one of the Beeb’s biggest names on social media.

But unlike fellow Match of the Day broadcaster Gary Lineker, it’s more for her glamorous images than hard-hitting opinions.

And in recent months she’s also shared regular snaps with her partner, singer Jess Glynne, including from exotic locations on holiday.

This time she dazzled with long, gold-coloured ear-rings, with her hair scraped back in a bun and auburn eye make-up.

Posing with the ease of a model, Alex looked confident and in control – just like she did in defence for the Gunners, the Boston Breakers and the England women’s team.

Among other sport-linked celebrities at the TV awards was BBC Radio One presenter Mollie King, the fiancée of Ashes’ cricket legend Stuart Broad.

It’s thought the ex-England paceman missed the night to look after the couple’s 16-month-old daughter Annabella.

Meanwhile, Alex seems ever more comfortable in the spotlight.

She went nearly topless in a photoshoot for Women’s Health UK.

And with the same magazine she spoke freely about her relationship with 34-year-old songwriter Jess.

For those pics, the 140-cap ex-player showed her long curly hair – prompting a flame emoji from Jess amid a wave of compliments from fans.

Praise included words she got used to during her trophy-winning days on the pitch and now regularly attracts from behind the camera.

“Sensational scenes,” posted one admirer simply.
