In a hilarious turn of events, Earps dressed her teammate Ella Toone in an inflatable lobster costume despite the scorching heat. To add to her woes, Toone wore leopard-print heels with the outfit which further added to her discomfort.
"Fun hotel story ever. We were staying at the Lensbury Resort. There was a night where we all had to dress each other," Earps revealed.
"I got drawn with Toone. I decided to get her a lobster costume and I also got some very lovely leopard heels. And as we were walking out there, her heel got stuck in the decking and she was falling over in this inflatable lobster costume. And honestly, every time I see this video, I'm crying with laughter. It's just too good."
