Scott is 5 feet 11 inches (1.81 m) and was nicknamed “Crouchy” after male international footballer Peter Crouch, who is 6 feet 5 inches tall.

Scott was dubbed “Queen of the Jungle” after winning the 22nd season of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! in the UK.

As a child, Scott attended Monkwearmouth Comprehensive School in Sunderland, Tyne & Wear. Scott, a long-distance runner who also played football for Boldon Girls, ran for Sunderland Harriers and won the North of England Under-13 cross-country championship and the Junior Great North Run. She had to choose between playing football and running when she was 13 years old, and she decided to focus on football.

Scott completed a BTEC National Diploma in Sport and Exercise Science at Gateshead College after graduating from high school in 2003. She stayed at the college to pursue a foundation degree in sports and exercise development from the University of Sunderland. Along with Carly Telford, a fellow Sunderland player and member of the international team, she also participated in college football. Scott and Telford both enrolled in Loughborough University to study sport after receiving their diplomas.

As she begins her time in the I’m A Celebrity jungle, Lioness Jill Scott traded in her football boots for something a little more durable. The football star participated in the ITV reality series this year along with well-known figures like radio DJ Chris Moyles and pop sensation Boy George.

Playing for England, Jill earned 161 senior international caps after making her debut in 2006 and scored 27 goals for the national side. Other career highlights include scoring England’s winner against Holland in the Euro 2009 semi-finals and also netting in City’s 2017 Women’s FA Cup final victory over Birmingham.

She additionally represented the United Kingdom at the 2012 and postponed 2020 Olympics. Jill played as a substitute four times during England’s successful Euro 2022 campaign, including in the championship game against Germany.

During the competition, she also gained popularity on social media after a widely shared slow-motion video of her cursing at a Germany player went viral. She claimed in an interview with the Guardian about the incident: “Normally, I don’t like to swear, but I did in that moment. My leg was caught between hers, and she wouldn’t release it while the game was still going on. I simply responded when she said something to me as well.
