- Eni Aluko has withdrawn from her co-hosting role at the Women's Football Awards following criticism from fellow pundit Ian Wright.
- The criticism came after Aluko commented on a radio show suggesting that Wright needed to be more mindful of limited opportunities for female pundits.
- Aluko, a former England striker, has since apologised, but that has been rejected by Wright, who said he was “very disappointed” by her comments.
- Aluko says her decision to withdraw from the awards was to avoid detracting from their focus on celebrating the sport.
- Gabby Logan and Jamie Carragher will now host the event.
