Lioness Jill Scott has signed up for the new series of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
The midfielder, 35, retired after playing in the game that beat Germany 2-1 in the Uefa Women’s final in July.
But her expletives gained almost as much attention as her ball skills when a clip of her swearing at Germany’s Sydney Lohmann went viral.
A TV insider said: “Jill became an instant star following that memorable moment, with most Brits forgiving the minor outburst.”
“It was always rumoured that ITV wanted one of the team in the jungle and Jill is a natural choice.”
Jill presented an award at the NTAs this week and joked that she was skint and had been forced to sell her winner’s medal.
