Jill Scott has revealed she was 'acting so weird' while trying to hide the engagement ring from her now-fiancée Shelly Unitt that her partner became convinced she was breaking up with her.
Former footballer Jill, who was crowned winner of this year's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, was terrified of losing the ring and took it everywhere with her in a sports rucksack.
However, her actions along with her constant worrying about the ring made Shelly think she was about to be dumped.
Jill got down on one knee in March 2020 by slipping a diamond ring into a glass of champagne while they were at Huddersfield's Titanic Spa.
"I was so scared of losing it, Shelly became convinced I was going to break up with her, because I was acting so weird," she revealed.
Shelly, 37, said: "Everywhere she went in the house, the rucksack went with her and if we were going out, she'd spend ages trying to work out where to put it."
She added to HELLO!: "I honestly had no idea. I just thought she was leaving me!"
Thanks to her stint on I'm A Celeb recently, the former Lionness gained a few brand new friends.
Jill recently revealed that she plans to invite her former campmates to her wedding next year.
The former footballer became Queen of the Jungle last month when she pipped Hollyoaks actor Owen Warner to the crown. Former Health Secretary Matt Hancock finished in third place in the Australian rainforest.

Speaking on the One Show, Jill was questioned about her wedding plans and whether the other stars will be getting an invite to her big day.
She quickly confirmed: "There will definitely be some extra seats at that dinner table, I think. I'll have to invite the campmates, won't I? I'll have to."
One person who is unlikely to get an invite is former West Suffolk MP Matt Hancock after Jill revealed on Loose Women last week that she hasn't "had a message off him" since returning to the UK.
During her appearance on the ITV daytime show, panelist Janet Street-Porter grilled Jill about her relationship with the former Health Secretary and her opinion of him taking part in the show.
She replied: "I haven’t had a message off him yet."
