Former Lioness Jill Scott, 37, won 161 caps for her country. She was part of the England women’s squad that won the Euros in 2022, and after retiring as a player became a pundit at the Women’s World Cup in 2023, as well as regularly commentating on men’s matches for ITV. She was crowned Queen of the Jungle in the 2022 series of I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here!

Was it strange to be pitchside at the World Cup?
Weirdly, it wasn’t. I was just so grateful that I was still in and around the team. I got to go to the games, and I was doing a fun show with the girls, so I had the best of both worlds. I was living my best life. I think Sarina Wiegman thought it was good for the team to have me around.
