The schoolgirl who melted the hearts of the nation after England's Mason Mount gave her his Three Lions shirt was left in tears of joy once again after receiving a special message from the player today.
Belle McNally, 10, sobbed uncontrollably after Mount walked off the pitch and into Wembley Stadium and handed her his jersey following his side's extra-time win over Denmark in the Euro semi-final on Wednesday.
An adorable clip of the child model and aspiring actress turning around and crying into the shoulder of her father was originally shared to Facebook by another fan and has now been viewed more than two million times.
Appearing on This Morning today with dad Tom, Belle was left tearing up once again when the player sent a video message thanking her for her unwavering support, and said that her reaction to the gift made his win all the more special.
She burst into tears as he told her: 'Obviously we won the game and that was a big achievement, but that really topped it off for me and made it a special night for me. Thank you for your support, it really means a lot and hopefully see you Sunday’.

Mount said in the video: 'Belle, It's Mason here, I just wanted to do this message to you and say how special the reaction was after the game when I gave you my shirt.'
Sports choreographer Tom added: 'Thank you so much Mason. You can’t put into words what he has done for her, such a nice man'.
The young football fan plays as striker for Glebe FC while also working as a model for top labels including Burberry, and went to watch her first football match last month.
She believes Mount may have recognised her from an encounter on a motorway on the way to the game, when she and her father saw the bus team on its way to Wembley for the Group D opener against Croatia.

Belle explained: ‘So when we went to the England vs Croatia game, we actually saw him on the Euros coach and he waved and smiled at me. So I think maybe he recognised me from there at the game.'
Tom went on: 'We were on the motorway and the police blockaded the whole motorway and we saw the England bus, we drove alongside it.
'It was her first football game ever and she says she saw Mason wave at her. That sort of moment, a sort of great romantic story [at] her first game [and] this happening...
'It’s like a book or film. You couldn’t make it up.'
