Sarina Wiegman has revealed she was not surprised that her former player and Lioness Jill Scott won I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here last month.
The England boss, who led the the squad to their first major international title last summer at the Euros, also admitted that the players were requesting changes to their training camp schedule to see Scott in action on the hit reality show. The former Lioness beat Conservative politician Matt Hancock and actor Owen Warner in the final with 57 per cent of the public vote, only a few months after retiring from the game.
In an interview with BBC Sport Wiegman said the squad were keen to keep up with Scott's progress in the jungle and revealed she expected that the former midfielder proved such a hit with the viewing public. The Dutch coach was unaware of what the show before, but was quickly brought up to speed by her squad during November's international break.
