Scott was joined by former Arsenal midfielder Theo Walcott and presenter Kelly Somers on Monday night.
Walcott picked out the home teams, while Scott was on hand to draw the away sides.
As the draw was about to end, Scott was given the task of grabbing the final ball, which was the No. 6 of Ipswich.
When she read out the number, Somers stated: “And the last ball should be... Ipswich Town.”
