I'm A Celeb's Jill Scott heads straight to her café for a coffee after landing in UK

I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! winner Jill Scott headed straight to her café for a coffee after arriving back in the UK today.

The Lioness, 35, runs Boxx2Boxx with her fiancee Shelly Unitt and made a beeline for the beverage after landing at Manchester Airport.

Taking to Instagram, still wearing the clothes she arrived home in, Jill filmed herself in the café clutching a cup of her "favourite flat white".

Still with a smile, despite the epic journey, she said: "I just wanted to thank you for all your support. First stop from the airport from Australia Boxx2Boxx for my favourite flat white. Thank you everyone."

The Lioness was dreaming of the hot beverage in the jungle where luxuries such as coffee were banned.

Jill revealed her partner Shelly had started working in the café in Manchester during lockdown before the couple decided to buy it.

Boxx2Boxx - named after Jill's role as a box-to-box midfielder throughout her illustrious career for club and country - is firmly on the map after the star's stint in the jungle.

The cafe's customers told the Mirror they were 'thrilled' and 'so proud' that Jill won I'm A Celebrity, describing her as 'salt of the earth' and 'genuine'.

There's even a little mural of the footballer at the front of the shop, as well as a 'wall of fame' with lots of photos of the sporting icon.

One person who is no doubt super proud of Jill is her partner Shelly who flew out to meet the star in Australia when she was crowned Queen of the Jungle on Sunday.

The mum-of-two lives with Jill in Northenden.

The Lioness lit up our screens during the Euros this summer and now the Sunderland-born footballer has amassed even more fans since winning I'm A Celeb.

As the last woman camping, Jill's star is expected to shoot into the stratosphere as she looks set to bag a load of lucrative offers.

A source told us: "Jill is being loved by the audience, as we hoped she would be. People are seeing the funny and courageous person that fans of women’s football already know and love.

“Her team has been bombarded with offers. She also has her coffee shop in Manchester and likes to work there, but she’ll struggle to fit in shifts with the amount of work on offer elsewhere.”
