Jill Scott 'clinches' I'm A Celebrity win as viewers moved by her inspiring speech

Jill Scott has been declared many people's winner of I'm A Celebrity 2002, with them hailing her an 'amazing role model' as she delivered a really powerful and moving speech during Monday night's show.

Jill recently retired from international football, after helping England to win the Euros in the summer and is now hotly tipped to add a jungle victory to her CV, although odds on Owen Warner winning are shortening all the time. Sunderland born player Jill has been impressive from the jungle from the get-go; steering clear of rows and controversy in camp and getting stuck in with chores and Bushtucker Trials.

And Jill further enamoured herself to I'm A Celebrity viewers at home during a chat about coming out and how her sexuality was received by the footballing community. As she and Boy George both spoke about being gay during a candid chat, former Manchester City star Jill said: "I think when you get to the point where it’s like not a question… in my head it’s just simple, you find someone, you fall in love with them, if it’s a woman, a man, but I don’t think it defines you at all.”
