Jill Scott's biggest fear about doing I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here has been revealed by her fiancée Shelly Unitt, as she gets ready to be reunited with her in Australia.
Sunderland born England Lionesses star Jill was one of the hot tips to triumph in the jungle this time round, as soon as the line-up for the new series was officially confirmed; with bookies putting her firmly in the mix along with Mike Tindall, Boy George and Olivia Attwood, who ended up leaving the show after just a day..
Jill has remained at the top of the I 'm A Celebrity betting since setting foot in camp, although Owen Warner has crept further and further into the reckoning over the last week. The I'm A Celebrity final is tipped to be a two horse race between Jill and Owen, with Matt Hancock gaining on Mike Tindall in the race for third.

Shelly, sister of former England player Rachel. is now Down Under to cheer on Jill, should she live up to expectations and at least make the final. And it was during her interview on Friday's Good Morning Britain live from Oz, that Shelly commented that, while the eating and drinking challenges wouldn't have phased the Lioness hero, heights was what she was most scared of before going on the show.
That fear was put straight to the test as Jill had to take on the terrifying Walk the Plank challenge, before she'd even set foot in the jungle, with it then being tested once again this week as did the Critty Critty Fang Fang trial, which saw her clamber on the boot of a car that was suspended high in the air, before being left dangling as it came to an end.
Talking to hosts Ben Shephard and Ranvir Singh, Shelly said: "The heights thing was massive. I can not believe that first challenge!" Ben replied: "I often think that first challenge is the most terrifying, because they're not even in the jungle yet...it's such a full on test."
He then asked: "How hard is it, when you know she doesn't like heights, is it for you to sit there watching it?" Shelly told him: "I sat with my hands over for my eyes for most of it. I just felt like she was really nervous; but with Jill you never see any emotion, not all. So even if she was terrified, she wouldn't show it."
