This weekend in Berlin, the runners-up of Euro 2020 under Gareth Southgate earned another chance at success, three years after losing the continental championship to Italy on penalties.
In two videos posted on X, former EastEnders star Kemp—who portrayed Grant Mitchell in the soap opera and has gained notoriety for his fervent celebrations of England’s athletic triumphs—expressed his happiness.
The 59-year-old actor addressed the camera in the first, wearing an England shirt, saying, “Ollie Watkins! You succeeded! That set of adjustments was certain to work.
Ollie Watkins, you are very loved! We cherish you! We cherish you! We’ve reached the championship round!”
He continued, saying in a second video upload, “We can go all the way. We are capable of defeating Spain. Any squad on the planet cannot defeat us. You guys, England, are arguably the greatest team in the world when we play together.
Piers Morgan, a TV broadcaster, wrote, “Amazing victory. Excellent objective. Outstanding performance. Excellent administration. Congratulations to Ollie Watkins and Gareth Southgate, as well as to England. Guys, you’re only one game away from immortality; go get it.
