England and Chelsea football ace Millie Bright makes surprise video call with pupils at former school in Killamarsh

The pupils got the chance to ask Millie some questions and showed her drawings which she described as ‘amazing’.

She thanked their teachers and parents for what they were doing in lockdown.

Pupils asked how she started in her football career. Millie said: “I went to watch my friend train and she said: 'you can join in it's only a pound. so it was actually a mistake that I signed for Killamarsh Dynamos. The moral of that story is to make sure you join in anything that you can because you might not know what your talent is just yet. Don’t be afraid try because you never know it might become your career one day.”

A pupil asked what she missed most during lockdown.

She said: "I think the main thing I miss is my friends and team mates. Obviously i miss the game and the game day feeling but most of all I miss my friends."

The video also points parents in the direction of the BT Skills for Tomorrow resources to help them home-school their children during lockdown.
