The World Cup has begun, and Sky Sports host Melissa Reddy is covering the action live from Qatar.
With some significant upsets making headlines all over the world, the tournament has already generated a tonne of discussion topics.
Who is Melissa Reddy?
Melissa Reddy is a writer and sports journalist from South Africa.
She moved to Sky Sports earlier this year, leaving her post as the Independent’s Senior Football Correspondent.
The 36-year-old has spoken out on sexism and racism concerns, as well as the obstacles women face in the workplace.
After dissecting recent remarks made by FIFA President Gianni Infantino, she quickly gained popularity on social media.
According to Reddy, “I think this will be the World Cup that really underscores exactly how nasty the game is.” Sadio Mane of Bayern Munich is also rumoured to be dating Reddy.
While Mane was still a player for Liverpool, it is believed that the two met while attending an interview.
Neither has, however, acknowledged the veracity of the rumours.
