Lioness Jill Scott says she doesn’t think I’m A Celebrity hosts Ant and Dec will help her out in the jungle - because of their football rivalry.
The Geordie presenters support Newcastle United, while Jill played for their rivals Sunderland, so she is not expecting any help during Bushtucker trials on the ITV show. In an interview with the Daily Star, she explained: "People who are Newcastle fans, Sunderland fans and all that it goes very deep, very deep.
"It’s competitive between the two teams so yeah. I don’t think they’ll be helping us out too easily." She said she must stick to her guns when it comes to the sport.

Jill added: "I’ve got to stick to my red and white and I’m sure they’ve got to stick to the black and white." The Lioness, who helped England triumph during the Euros at the start of August, is undoubtedly hoping for another shot at victory in the jungle.
Her fellow contestants will include Mike Tindall, Conservative MP Matt Hancock, Love Island’s Olivia Attwood, and Corrie star Sue Cleveland. I'm A Celebrity is back in Australia this year after two series in Wales. The programme will be back on screens on Sunday, at 9pm.
ITV released a statement about the show going back down under. It said: "Returning to its home in Australia after a two-year break, our celebrities will leave their plush pads and luxuries far behind as they spend up to three weeks taking on the Australian jungle with a whole host of surprises created for them."
