England Lioness star Georgia Stanway has revealed she and her teammates had no idea fans were waiting to welcome them home at Heathrow Airport.

The Lionesses landed back in the UK on Tuesday after their World Cup final defeat, but fans who gathered at the airport to welcome them were disappointed when the players were escorted out through a back door.

Speaking on This Morning, Stanway revealed the Lionesses had no idea fans were waiting until they saw some tweets when back on their coach.

She said: “That’s hard for us as we want to give as much back to them as possible.”

00:00 There were people waiting at the airport for you,
00:02 and you didn't--
00:03 I mean, you can see the scenes there--
00:04 that you didn't get to walk out through the exit.
00:07 Do you as players get a say in that, or is that all--
00:10 it all happens around you?
00:11 Yeah, it all happens around us.
00:12 I had no idea until afterwards when we got back on the coach,
00:16 and there was a few tweets out saying that they
00:18 were disappointed.
00:19 And yeah, that's hard for us because we
00:21 want to give back to the fans as much as possible.
00:23 But I guess the FA have got a job to look after us.
00:26 And obviously, after that flight,
00:27 they probably just wanted to get us out of the back door
00:30 and get us--
00:30 yeah, get us our heads down as quick as possible.
00:32 But yeah, we want the opportunity
00:34 to be able to connect with fans.
00:36 So we'll do that on social media.
00:37 And we've got another camp in three, four weeks' time.
00:40 And that's where you'll--
00:42 Yeah.
00:42 Oh, my word.
00:43 Another England camp.
00:43 So--
00:44 Come on, stop.
00:44 Yeah, an opportunity that we can see the fans there.
