Women’s World Cup winner I’m a celebrity, why friends are her comfort Watching and taking hits through David Beckham
Former lioness Jill Scott, 37, has made 161 international appearances for her country. She was part of the England women’s team that won the European Championship in 2022 and, after retiring as a player, turned professional at the 2023 Women’s World Cup, she says. in men’s matches for ITV. She was crowned Queen of the Jungle in the 2022 series of I’m a Celebrity. . . Get me out of here!
Would he be on the field at the World Cup? Interestingly, this was not the case. I was so grateful to continue to be in and around the team. I had to move on to the games and I was doing a fun display with the girls, so I had the most productive of both worlds. I was living my most productive life. I think Sarina Wiegman thought it was smart for the team to have me with us.
Have you ever hoped to become an expert? Did we even have the feeling that it was possible at first?Not at all. Obviously, there have been other people like Eni Aluko, Alex Scott, Fara Williams, Rachel Brown-Finnis, and Karen Carney, who have charted a career path for women to follow. We’re all well aware that things are said when women are in specialist positions, but for me it’s just football. I enjoyed doing it, whether they were men or women. I don’t see any difference. I would never let the comments make me think that it can’t be done. We just have to keep pushing back and breaking down barriers, which is what we’re used to doing all our lives.
The most productive thing you did on screen last year?Obviously, being at the Women’s World Cup (it’s very special) and meeting football experts. And to take away on Saturday night! I have to be the announcer. It was wonderful to see Ant and Dec, because when you’re in the jungle, you can’t communicate much with them. They are not allowed to tell you the effects of a football match, even if you consulted them every day.
Have you ever been mistaken for someone else? Then I get a call from the British, telling me that someone who passes by to get an award is a big fan. It doesn’t make sense. They tell us, “If you come down, we pass by to take you on a trip, go on stage,” so I get really excited. Then my agent called us, laughing out loud. They thought he represented the singer Jill. Scott: I was exhausted!
What’s your convenience watch? They’ll have to be Friends. If I’m having a good or bad day, it just makes us laugh. I was recently on tour in New York City and it was literally one of the most productive days of my life. I’m not even saying that. I was sitting in Monica’s apartment. Honestly, I’m smiling now because I enjoyed it.
Who do you watch TV with? My partner, Shelly, regularly. We walk by and I’m like, “Should I put on a movie?” And we usually end up falling asleep halfway through. But she starts looking for something, and then I get to London and she finishes it. Sometimes I say, “We have to take care of the rest. ” And she just walks by to give us that look, and I’ll know – she looked at him.
Have you ever been pierced by the stars? Sometimes. David Beckham, when I first met him, at Wimbledon. He was looking to talk to me about the World Cup and I just wanted to have a picture, so it was a big regret and a bit of learning. For me. When you meet those other people you need to communicate with, you don’t need a photo, you need to communicate. Now I’m looking to play a little cooler.
Any recent reports that you would turn into drama? Everything that’s going on with Everton in the Premier League at the moment, with the deductions for problems. Sometimes we just see the effects of things, but what does that really look like among other people behind the scenes?We can just call it. . . To make a point.
