The Pitch Perfect star said that she loves watching the Wrexham documentary, covering life on and off the pitch for the Reds under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney.

Speaking on the One Show, she said: "I love the Australian women's team, the Matildas who crushed it in the World Cup so I'm really excited and I'm going to go to the Olympics and hopefully get to watch them live. 

I love that women's soccer is coming up strong and I love watching that doco Welcome to Wrexham, that's how I learnt all about the different leagues, I love it."
