The Chelsea forward and EURO 2025 finalist takes on our either/or quiz

PROFILE: LAUREN JAMES

England's Lauren James has enjoyed an impressive tournament so far at UEFA Women's EURO 2025, helping the Lionesses to reach the final.

Ahead of this weekend's showdown, following in the footsteps of her team-mates Jess Park, Leah Williamson, Keira Walsh, Grace Clinton, Georgia Stanway, Esme Morgan and Lauren Hemp, the Chelsea and Lionesses forward reveals more in our either/or quiz.

See what she had to say below.

Plane or train? Plane. I like to annoy whoever’s next to me! I’d sit with Lucy [Bronze] on a plane journey.

Fashion or comfort? Fashion.

TV show or film? Film.

Single room or shared? Single room. I like that everything is done for you in a hotel – bed’s made, food’s cooked. If I had to choose a roommate, it would’ve been Fran Kirby.

Late nights or early mornings? Late nights.

Gym or outside running and sport? Gym.

Sauna or ice bath? Sauna. But after a game, I have an ice bath and do other recovery bits.

Party or chill? Party, but I’m so chilled. Overall, I’m just reserved and relaxed in life in general.
