Queen of the Jungle Jill Scott was all smiles as she landed back in Manchester alongside her partner and fellow ITV I'm A Celeb star Sue Cleaver.
The former Lioness touched down at Manchester Airport on Wednesday morning (November 30) following her victory down under. She was seen wearing a green hoodie with her hair put up as she pushed a trolley full of luggage through the airport.
Jill beat former health secretary Matt Hancock and Hollyoaks actor Owen Warner to be crowned Queen of the Jungle on Sunday. She stole the nation's heart as she took on the trials and tribulations of the Australian jungle, winning the final vote with 57.7% of the public vote.

And Jill received more than double the amount of votes that did in the first round of the finale, according to ITV. A total of 10.1 million viewers tuned in to Sunday’s final, ITV said, making it the highest-rated since football manager Harry Redknapp won the Australian jungle reality show in 2018.
Speaking to hosts Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly after learning of her win, Jill said: “I just can’t believe it. Honestly, I think I’m going to owe my grandma a lot of money for the 12 million votes she’s done. We were one big team, I don’t think there should be one winner, we couldn’t have got through it without all of us.”
During the final episode of the series, viewers also saw the three finalists undertake their final Bushtucker Trials to be in order to win a starter, main course and dessert of their choice, as well as drinks and treats. For the first time the celebrities were able to watch one another attempt to complete the challenges, with Jill taking on the first trial, Rat Race.
After earning all the available stars, the trio were rewarded with their tailor-made three course meals. Jill opted for prawn cocktail to start, followed by a traditional beef Sunday dinner with gravy and Yorkshire pudding, and had a cheese board for dessert.
She also had Coca-Cola for her drink, and chose a flat white coffee and bar of milk chocolate for her treat.
It will no doubt soon be business as usual for the England football legend. Alongside her partner Shelly Unitt she runs BOXX2BOXX Coffee, near Wythenshawe in South Manchester.
Regulars told the Manchester Evening News that everybody at the café has been 'rooting' for Jill during her stint in the jungle - and were delighted at her victory.
