Nina Farooqi, 37, dodged work in Yorkshire after her friend won last-minute tickets to the historic match against Denmark in a work raffle. But the face of the digital content producer, from Ilkley, near Bradford, was beamed around the world when a TV camera zoomed in on her and her friend celebrating England's equalising goal. Farooqi, who was sitting behind the goal, even appeared on TV presenter Stacey Dooley's Instagram story, something she excitedly shared with friends. The digital content producer revealed that even friends in Australia and the US got in touch to say they had spotted her.
