Jill Scott missed the football during her time in the jungle
The 35-year-old Lioness had been taking part in the ITV reality series in Australia - which she was eventually crowned winner of on Sunday (28.11.22) night - while the World Cup games started in Qatar and revealed that while she "obviously" missed her fiancee Shell Unitt, she and runner-up Owen Warner were "begging" producers on-set for the scores.
She said: "Don’t get me into trouble, it’s got to be Shelly and obviously my family and friends but I have missed the World Cup games so much. Me and Owen were begging for the scores and then the day that we had an ice lolly and the scores were revealed on the stick, that was one of the best days in the jungle."
Meanwhile, Jill - who was part of the England team when they won the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 - also revealed that despite her victory on the reality series, she has made no plans yet to go into television presenting.
Speaking on 'Good Morning Britain' in her first interview since winning 'I'm A Celebrity...', she told hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls: "is has taken two showers and two baths just to smell half decent. “I haven't got any plans [for television]. Once I retired I should’ve really had a plan in place, so that's how I kind of landed in the jungle. But I think your job is very safe!"
The former Sunderland player also added that she would like fellow football star Jordan Henderson to brave the jungle, but only once he has retired himself.
She said: "Jordan Henderson fellow Mackem , he’s got a strong mindset so let's put him in the jungle but only once he’s retired!"
'Good Morning Britain' weekdays from 6am on ITV1 and ITV Hub.
