After getting the surprise of her life, with the presentation of a statue in her honour on live TV, Jill Scott headed to one of Newcastle's most favourite 'hidden gems' for breakfast on Monday morning.
The former England Lionesses players and reigning Queen of the Jungle, was back on home turf for a very special reason at the start of the week, as a crowd gathered right next to Gateshead's Angel of the North, to see her remove a blindfold to see a 4.5m tall bronze sculpture in front of her, in honour of her being announced as a new team captain on hit Sky show League of their Own, as well as being the face of Good Morning Britain's coverage of the upcoming Women's World Cup.
In a state of shock that she had her own statue, Jill reacted: "It looks incredible. It’s such a proud moment to be back in the North East. To look at a statue like this - I’ve got goosebumps ! It’s such a special moment to be here today.”
