Not every high street has a cafe owned and run by an England football legend, Euros winner, and now Queen of the Jungle. But in Northenden, south Manchester, staff and customers have become used to sharing their local friendly face with the hearts of the nation - because their boss just can't stop winning.
BOXX2BOXX Coffee, near Wythenshawe, is owned by ex-Lioness Jill Scott, along with her partner Shelly. Customers here say the pair are seen as community figures - and the cafe's popularity is clear, as people are crammed in every nook and cranny. Well, who wouldn't want some of whatever is in the water here?
Manager Lois Ryan is gearing up for a busy first day of business since Jill Scott was crowned Queen of the Jungle, and the topic wasn't far from anybody's lips. "She did fantastic. She was just herself, and she's naturally funny," neighbour and regular Mikaela McKie. "Everyone is genuinely happy for her."
