Jill Scott has opened up on the 'torment' of her footballing past on I'm A Celebrity, revealing she was subjected to taunts from other players' parents and left in tears by their comments.
In the summer, Sunderland born player Jill was the toast of Wearside and the whole of country after she and her England Lionesses teammates beat Germany at Wembley to win the Euros.
But, in a candid conversation with her I'm A Celebrity co-stars Charlene White and Scarlette Douglas, she said some early moments of her footballing career gave her little reason for celebration. Talking about her tough start as a female player, she said: "It was the parents, some of the parents from opposing teams. If I beat their precious son, they’d shout stuff at us. Like, ‘kick her, hack her down…’ I’d come off the pitch literally in tears.”
