She might be one of England\u2019s most decorated players \u2013 in fact she\u2019s one of the few Lionesses to have gained more than 150 caps \u2013 but Jill Scott tells OK!<\/b> that her stint in the jungle was one of the most exciting times of her life to date.<\/p>\n

Last year the 36-year-old swapped booting balls on the footie pitch for munching bugs in the Australian jungle back, and even blagged the Queen of the Jungle crown on I'm a Celeb.<\/p>\n

Now, as anticipation heats up for the 2023 series, Jill shares her words of wisdom and encourages new campmates to \u201cembrace it all\u201d \u2013 the gruelling challenges, stomach-churning food trials and all.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhoever goes on to win it, I\u2019m sure deserves it. I can\u2019t wait to tune in. I honestly can\u2019t believe it\u2019s been a year since I was there.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s such a unique experience and I think that\u2019s why genuine friendships are made there,\u201d she said. \u201cYou can\u2019t really explain what it\u2019s like unless you\u2019ve been there.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are moments when you\u2019ll miss home, but try and find someone in there that you can relate to and have conversations with. I was really lucky with Owen [Warner], Chris [Moyles] and Charlene [White]. When times are tough, you need someone to speak to.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the burning question is, how does Jill feel about the winner of the forthcoming series taking her crown?<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m quite happy to hand it over now,\u201d she laughed. \u201cA lot of people refer to me as the Queen of the Jungle, but I did play football for 16 years before that!"<\/p>\n

And as for what's next when it comes to Jill's plans, wedding bells could be ringing soon.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m ready for some time off and spending it with my friends and family,\u201d she confessed when asked if she and her fianc\u00e9e, Shelly Unitt, 38, are any further forward with their wedding arrangements.<\/p>\n

Jill admitted that they simply \u201chaven\u2019t had the time\u201d because they're "like passing ships at times."<\/p>\n

However, their plans definitely seem to be back on track now with the star finally having more time to set the wheels in motion.<\/p>\n

She said: "We\u2019re definitely starting to think about what we want to do. We\u2019ve been engaged for nearly four years now, but with Covid and lockdown happening, we sort of lost momentum for a while.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut Shelly and I have finally been making some wedding plans and we\u2019re definitely in the swing of things now.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Jill met Shelly \u2013 who has two teenage daughters, Evie and Hattie, from a previous relationship \u2013 through her sister, ex-footballer Rachel Unitt, her former teammate.<\/p>\n
