Jill Scott thinks the England team will ace the World Cup - ahead of their match versus Wales tomorrow.
The Lioness won I'm A Celebrity last night to be crowned Queen of the Jungle after the women's football team's spectacular win at the Euros earlier this year. Now Jill has returned to the outside world and has quickly caught up with everything going on with the men's football following their frustrating draw against the USA last week.
Jill was asked by Good Morning Britain hosts if she missed her fiancée Shelly Unitt or the World Cup more, she joked she didn't want to get in trouble and said it was, of course, her fiancée but also praised the men's football team.
The duo also quizzed Jill on who she'd like to see head into the jungle next - and backed Jordan Henderson, but insisted he should only been in there once he's retired from football as she doubted he could get the time off his training.
Speaking as she was crowned Queen of the Jungle, Jill smiled widely as she celebrated her win. Owen, who placed second, was also thrilled for her. "I can't believe it. I honestly think I'm going to owe my grandma a lot of money," she said.
"These guys were absolutely incredible. I don't think there should be one winner."
Fans rushed to social media to congratulate Jill on her win as Mike Tindall, who finished fourth, handed over her crown.
"YESSSSS QUEEN JILL IM SO HAPPY RN AHHHH @jillscottjs8 #ImACelebrity #ImACeleb #Imaceleb2022," one wrote as another added: "Long live the queen #imaceleb."
A third shared: "YES JILL QUEEN OF THE JUNGLE #ImACeleb," as a fourth penned: "Go on Jill! 100% the right result #ImACeleb."
Jill never thought she'd make it to the final. Speaking in the Bush Telegraph, she said: "When I first stepped into the jungle and looked around at all of the celebrities, no way am I getting anywhere near that final.
"To be part of the final three with Owen and Matt, god, it just means the world, it really does."
During her time in the jungle, she spoke about women's football and her own experience with coming out.
"I think in the men’s game, it’s so difficult. If you think about how much stick they get from the chants… it’s just not a safe environment where they feel safe enough to kind of do that. And that’s so sad. But yeah in women’s football it’s just never an issue. Some have partners that are female, some are married to men, yeah," she said.
"Then obviously there was no female role models for me to look up to… But I’d watch Beckham do a trick or Gerrard do something and I’d just be practising for hours. I was literally in the back lanes just with my ball all day all night until my mum would shout, ‘Jill it’s time for your tea’ and then I’d be back out again because I wanted to perfect this skill."
