Jill Scott set to invite I'm A Celebrity co-stars to her wedding as she dismisses feud rumours

I'm A Celebrity champion Jill Scott has revealed that there could be a big reunion on the cards next year for this year's jungle stars - at her wedding.

Appearing on BBC's The One Show, retired Lioness Jill, who announced her engagement to long-term partner Shelly Unitt in March 2020, revealed that she is still yet to set a date for her nuptials - but when she does, her I'm A Celeb co-stars will be receiving invitations. "There'll definitely be some extra seats at that dinner table, I think," she said. "I have to invite the campmates, won't I?"

The Sunderland star also confirmed that "everybody is still in" the infamous I'm A Celebrity WhatsApp group chat - around which there have been several rumours of who is included and who isn't amid reports of a feud - and said that "lovely" A Place In The Sun star Scarlette Douglas is the chattiest member of the group. Jill was full of praise for her campmates, revealing: "I'm down in London in the next couple of days, so I'm hoping to catch up with a couple of them again."

Jill didn't confirm whether all of her jungle pals would be invited to her big day - but there is at least one campmate who looks unlikely to have a seat at the wedding. The bride-to-be admitted on Loose Women earlier this month that she hadn't heard from MP Matt Hancock since appearing on I'm A Celeb.

But Jill dismissed rumours of any fallings-out as she told The One Show hosts Lauren Laverne and Harry Judd: "I think for me, I like being part of a team where everyone gets on - don't waste energy arguing, just get them stars. That was our main focus. So yeah, everybody's still in the WhatsApp chat."

The football star also spoke about her incredible career and how much the sport means to her ahead of a new documentary she stars in, Lionesses: When Football Came Home. "I've got the date [the Lionesses won the Euros] tattooed on my arm," Jill revealed.

"It was a very important day, and it'll be the best day of 2022 for me. I was just so privileged to be part of an incredible group of players and staff. It just seems like it didn't really happen, because it really was a dream come true."

Asked if she would get a memento of her time on I'm A Celeb tattooed, Jill replied: "No, definitely not. Someone came up to me and asked what meant more, winning the Euros or I'm A Celebrity, and I'm like - come on! I worked so hard for 16 years to win the Euros!"
