 The celebs are heaping praise on our Lionesses after their incredible Women's World Cup victory, which has sent them sailing through to the semi-final. England came from behind to beat Colombia 2-1 in Sydney on Saturday (August 12), with goals from Leicy Santos and Alessia Russo. Piers Morgan and Gary Lineker have led the stars congratulating them, branding their performance 'perfect'. Taking to social media to express his pride, controversial broadcaster Piers, 58, had some fighting talk as the Lionesses gear up to play Australia next week. 'Perfect. You know what to do @Lionesses – make Ashes of the Matildas', he tweeted. Sports pundit Gary, 62, had some more words of encouragement. The Lionesses are through to the semi-final!

This is a side that knows how to win. Marvellous!', he wrote. Even the Royal Family wanted to show their appreciation for the England squad, with the Prince and Princess of Wales tweeting: 'Bring on the semi-finals! A hard-fought win, well done @Lionesses'. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, 60, also seems pretty certain that the Lionesses will be lifting the World Cup trophy. 'Great team effort from the @Lionesses. Resilient performance. All eyes on the semi-final now… It's coming home!', he said. British actress Heather Peace, 48, added: 'What a game. End to end. Totally nerve wracking. @Lionesses were so strong to hold onto their lead against a brilliant Colombian team'. Sky News presenter Kay Burley, 62, shared a very fitting video of some lion cubs sleeping in the wild, urging the women's team to 'rest and then march on' after their big win. Although, not everyone's reaction was so composed. Comedian M){kind=link}
