England international Laura Bassett has labelled Jason Cundy’s sexist comments ‘outrageous’ and believes the apology was ‘scripted’.

The former Chelsea footballer and current talkSPORT presenter said that women should not be allowed to commentate on games because there voices are too ‘high-pitched’.

He was quickly slammed for his views and apologised both on social media and on his programme last night, but Bassett clearly felt that his remorse was a little hollow.

“It’s really disappointing and I think he’s apologised since and rightly so,” she told the 32, Yahoo Sport’s daily World Cup show. “It seemed a bit scripted, like he was reading it.

It’s really disappointing and we’re entitled to have our preferences, whatever pitch that is or who is delivering that. We all have our preferences with teams, style and tactics or we wouldn’t be enjoying the World Cup now.

“I just think it’s outrageous. We’re entitled to our own opinions and towatch and listen to whoever we want.

“It would be weird watching a game if the commentator doesn’t get excited when a goal goes in. That is what you’re trained to do. And you’re given the voice that you’ve got.”

The 34-year-old will not playing in next year’s women’s World Cup, as she revealed she is pregnant with her first child, but she is confident that the Lionesses will challenge for the title in France.

“The female game has gone through the roof. It’s really popular and the amount of girls and women involved in football is huge,” she explained.

“The England team are going through qualification for the World Cup in France next year and we’ve got a great chance again.”
