Jill Scott expects Ant & Dec’s Newcastle roots will hinder her on I’m A Celeb

Sunderland native Jill Scott has joked that Newcastle native’s Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly may hold a grudge against her during her stint in the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! jungle

Jill Scott has revealed that she expects Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly’s Newcastle roots to work against her while she’s in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.

The footballer, 35, retired from England’s national team earlier this year and has now set her sights on a new challenge.

The much-loved Sunderland sports star, who was the fifth confirmed celebrity of the 2022 series, has joked that I’m A Celebrity hosts Ant and Dec may not give her an easy time in the jungle, given the rivalry between Sunderland and Newcastle – where the famous Geordie duo hail from.

Speaking to The Mirror, Jill quipped: “Because people who are Newcastle and Sunderland fans know that it goes very deep, very deep, competitive kinds of sides between the two teams. So yeah, I don’t think they’ll be helping me out too easily. But I’ve got to stick to my red and white and I’m sure they’ve got to stick to the black and white.”
