THIS is the brilliant moment jockey Megan Nicholls goes crazy in a pub celebrating England's Euro 2020 semi-final win over Denmark.
The top jockey – daughter of famed trainer Paul – jumped and danced on the seat while waving round the England flag.
And she even gave Frankie Dettori a run for his money after the 50-year-old posted a video of his own antics at Wembley when Italy beat Spain on penalties.
There will be just one of them celebrating on Sunday evening, though, when the two nations meet at Wembley.
Nicholls – whose boyfriend and fellow jockey Kevin Stott had trials with Spurs – will be hoping it's her after seeing Gareth Southgate's side prevail in extra-time thanks to Harry Kane's match-winner.
And the celebrations will be no doubt the same too, should England win their first silverware in 55 years.
Nicholls, who was sitting with friends in the boozer, hops to her feet and waves her flag in the air wildly.
A mate filming the scenes captures Nicholls screaming in celebration as other punters can be heard shouting and cheering too.
Dettori was at Wembley with daughter Mia and fellow jockey and Italian Andrea Atzeni.
The iconic rider, 50, admitted he could not watch as Chelsea star Jorginho scored the decisive spot kick to send his country through.

But, after hearing the celebrations ring out, he jumped to his feet and went mad in the stands next to other punters.
Dettori left Milan for England aged 14 – but he has lost none of his roots.
A pasta and red wine expert, the ageless jockey maintains his accent too.
Oh, and being Italian, of course he has a love of Ferraris.
In fact, he loves them so much that he has a special heated garage to keep them in perfect condition – well, the ones he isn't 'frightened' of driving at least.
Dettori had to get rid of his Scuderia because he was left covered in bruises whenever he drove it.
He replaced it with a £190,000 Ferrari 488 Spider.
Chances are it will only be one of Italy and England hitting top gear on Sunday night.
