Women's footballer Jill Scott is among the famous faces joining the I'm a Celebrity jungle this Sunday.
The 35-year-old sportswoman will be joining the likes of singing sensation Boy George, Love Island's Olivia Attwood and radio DJ Chris Moyles. After helping the England Lionesses lift the trophy at the Women’s Euro final in July, recently retired star Jill said she is looking forward to being part of a very different type of team in the jungle.
Speaking of entering the jungle, Jill said: "Everyone knows me for playing football, so it will be nice for people to get to know my personality a bit better."

The star is well-known for playing football in Merseyside, as she was a huge part of Everton women's team for many years. Before that, Jill began her senior career with Sunderland Women.
In October 2005, aged only 18 years, she won the Women's Player of the Month award for September, based on her performances for both her and club and also her country. In 2006 she went on to sign for Everton, where she stayed until 2013.
During her first spell at Everton, Jill won the FA Women's Premier League Cup and the FA Women's Cup, playing in both finals. After leaving Everton, Scott signed a two-year deal with Manchester City.
However, she later returned to the Blues on loan for the remainder of the 2020–21 season. Two years later, after a short stint at Aston Villa, in 2022, Jill announced her retirement from football.
Just before her retirement, in summer 2022, Jill was included in the England squad that won the Euros. A clip of her shouting “f*** off, you f***ing prick!” at German player Sydney Lohmann in the final went viral.
Her height, of 5ft 11in, has earned her the nickname “Crouchy” after male international footballer Peter Crouch, who at 6ft 7in was renowned for his height.
