I'm A Celebrity's Jill Scott nominates Jordan Henderson for next series in GMB interview

Queen of the Jungle Jill Scott has nominated "fellow Mackem" Jordan Henderson to be the next football star to head into the I'm A Celebrity camp.

Lioness Jill suggested the Sunderland-born Liverpool and England star as she appeared on ITV 's Good Morning Britain to chat with hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls about her time in the jungle. She admitted that her victory still hadn't sunk in this morning, after expressing disbelief when Ant and Dec announced her win in Sunday night's finale.

The GMB presenters posed a cheeky question to the star, asking what she missed more during her time in the jungle - her fiancée Shelly or the World Cup. "Don't get me into trouble!" Jill joked, before saying that she missed Shelly more - though she admitted to "begging" I'm A Celeb producers for the scores while she was in camp.

As host Ed Balls asked which of the England players should sign up for the jungle next year, Jill replied: "I don't think they'd get the time off football to go into the jungle - but Jordan Henderson, fellow Mackem.

"I think he's got a strong mindset, so yeah - let's put him in the jungle. But only once he's retired."

As Susanna Reid commented that Jill looked "very different" to how she had in camp, appearing on GMB wearing an off-the-shoulder dress and hoop earrings, the star joked: "This has taken two showers and two baths just to smell half-decent."

Asked what she was going to do next following her win, Jill said: "I haven't got any plans - once I retired I should have really had a plan in place, so that's kind of how I landed in the jungle, so to speak.

"I actually don't know what I'm going to do next. But I just feel like if you give everything every single day and keep trying to be a good person, then we'll just see what happens."

Jill continued to receive an outpouring of love from fans on social media, who praised her kindness and motivation. "You are a lovely person and deserve your win, I have never seen someone with such a positive buoyant outlook who inspires others around you," one viewer told Jill on Twitter.

Another added: "Jill I think you're such a kind, generous person. Well done."

"One word - legend," said a third fan. "Well-deserved winner indeed."

Someone else gushed: "Congratulations Jill, what an amazing contestant you've been - so genuine and honest. Absolutely brilliant."
