Jill Scott played soccer for England, Everton and also Manchester City. She started her professional career with Sunderland in 2005 and retired from the game in 2022.

It was a tough decision to take up football as she had previously been winning trophies as a long distance and cross country runner. Now with 161 England caps and being named the Football Association’s Tesco Players’ Player of the Year. Also, being described by FIFA as one of England’s four outstanding players, Jill Scott definitely made the right decision.

Jill was named in both selections for the GB Squad for the London Olympics in 2012 and again in the Olympics in Tokyo in 2022. Her first game for England was in their opening game of the 2007 World Cup against Japan which ended up as 2-2 draw. Jill was brought on as a substitute for Eniola Aluko.

Just after Jill announced her retirement, she was named as a contestant on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! She did rather well, having been put through a number of gruelling tasks, not forgetting the drinks (if you can call them that) she and Mike Tindall had to down in the Speak Uneasy trial.
