A patriotic woman was left with a St George’s Cross sunburn on her face after a Euro 2024 blunder.
Kalyne Fletcher got behind the Three Lions by painting the flag over her makeup before England played Spain in the final.
But when she attempted to remove it later that night, she discovered the cross wouldn’t budge.

And it wasn’t the paint being stubborn.
Kalyne, of Ipswich, told What’s The Jam said: “Everyone is out there facing their hardships in life.
“With things as silly as this you just have to laugh, it could always be worse.”
The 24-year-old added: “At first I thought the pigment had stained my face but as we all know now that was not the case.
“During the day of the Euros I decided it would be a good laugh and good entertainment for the family.
“I’m always trying to do something wacky to make them smile.
“This has all definitely made them laugh.
“I had a red cross over my regular makeup and thankfully my normal makeup contained SPF.
“A lesson to be learnt is that even on cloudy days, the UV from the sun is still there.
“My mum thought it was hilarious. I’m always trying to make others laugh hence why I posted it on social media.
“My friends along with lots of others have had a right laugh in the comments which is what I think people needed after the disappointment from the match.
“I think the lads should be proud of themselves despite the loss.
“Of course I would’ve loved to see them win, but to get as far as they did in the competition was nice to see.
“They bring the whole nation together which is what I enjoy the most.”
Gareth Southgate’s men lost the final on Sunday (14 Jul) 2-1.
