Jill Scott will soon be on TV in a very different show, after being confirmed to be joining Robson Green in his new series.
Not even two weeks have passed yet since Sunderland footballer and England Lionesses hero Jill became the latest Queen of the jungle on I'm A Celebrity, after the hit ITV programme returned to Australia for the first time in three years. Jill, who has played for Manchester City and Everton, as well as her hometown club, saw off competition from runner up Owen Warner and unlikely third placed contestant Matt Hancock.
Jill has been having a hectic time of things since she jetted back to the UK from Down Under, appearing on Loose Women and being reunited with I'm A Celebrity co-star Chris Moyles, for an interview on his Radio X show. And, Jill won't be disappearing out of the TV spotlight any time soon, as, as well as landing a key role in ITV's coverage of England v France this weekend, Jill will be joining fellow North East star Robson for his show Robson Green’s Weekend Escapes.
