Lioness Chloe Kelly has become the first England football player to be turned into a Barbie Doll.

The doll wears the Lioness kit and features her famous high ponytail and her long socks over her knees.

It's part of a special series to mark International Women's Day that includes other sportspeople like Grand Slam tennis champion Serena Williams and Indian cricketer Smriti Mandhana.

Chloe Kelly was chosen as part of the "Barbie Dream Team" for being a key player in the England squad, helping to win the past two European Championships.

Chloe Kelly said: "To be a Barbie role model is so special.

"To have my very own one-of-a-kind doll - I'm very proud of that.

"You don't really believe these things could happen. You always look for the trophies and the wins on the pitch but, off the pitch, this is a massive win.

"As a young girl, you dreamed of having these moments, but they never seemed to be the case that they could become true."
