England star Lauren Hemp was seen holding a Beauty And The Beast-themed Lego set as the Lionesses prepared to return to the UK on Monday.
After celebrating with her England team-mates long into the night following their 3-1 penalty shootout victory over Spain to win Euro 2025, Hemp, 24, was seen leaving the team hotel in Zurich, Switzerland with the giant sculpture.
The sculpture is a Lego replica of the Beast’s castle from the popular Disney film, which was first released in 1991 before a live-action remake came out in 2017.
Hemp is known to be a huge fan of Lego, having previously built Star Wars character Yoda and a mini version of Barcelona‘s Nou Camp stadium.
During the 2023 World Cup, she revealed her love for constructing the toys, stating: ‘I’ve been waiting for a delivery actually, which came a few days ago so I’ve been really excited for that.
‘I’ve recently done a motorbike that you’ve probably seen on social media that I bought on the plane because I didn’t trust it to get to me in one piece without me physically holding it.
