'Never washing it!' Girl given Mason Mount's shirt is in dreamland
The child model and aspiring actress who melted the hearts of the nation after crying tears of joy when England's  Mason Mount gave her his Three Lions shirt believes that the footballer may have recognised her from a past encounter and exclaimed: 'It was a dream come true.'
Belle McNally, 10, sobbed uncontrollably after Mount walked off the pitch and into Wembley Stadium following his side's extra-time win over Denmark in the Euro semi-final - and handed her his jersey.
Video showed Belle, who plays football for Glebe FC, turning around open-mouthed to her sports choreographer father Tom McNally and crying into his shoulder. The heartwarming clip was originally shared to Facebook by another fan and has been viewed more than two million times.
Belle, a model for top labels including Burberry, has now revealed that she believes Mount may have recognised her from an encounter on a motoway a month ago, as she and her father saw the bus team on its way to Wembley for the Group D opener against Croatia. 
She reportedly filmed while driving past - and was overwhelmed when Mount apparently waved back at her.   
'After we saw him on the team coach, it made me really want to see him again at the game,' she told the Sun. 'I thought it was really nice of him to smile and wave as we drove past so dad and I made an England flag for the Denmark match and wrote his name on it with love hearts.
'Luckily he saw it and came over and everyone knows what happened next. It was a dream come true and I just want to say thank you to Mason for what he did and good luck to the team on Sunday.'
Her father, a sports choreographer who has worked with Premier League clubs and whose £1.25million Bromley mansion made headlines earlier this year, said that his daughter is on 'Cloud Nine and hasn't taken the shirt off since he gave it to her'.
Speaking after the game, Mount said it marked a 'special moment' for him as well and said 'to see reaction from Belle topped it off for me. That level of support really means a lot'.
