Jill Scott has made history as the first LGBTQ+ woman to win I’m a Celebrity… Get me Out of Here. Over the last few weeks, the former Lioness player won the hearts of viewers for her down-to-earth attitude and loveable personality.
After competing in numerous Bushtucker Trails and Deals on Wheels challenges, the beloved athlete was named Queen of the Jungle after racking in 57.7% of the public vote (per Sky Sports). “I just can’t believe it.
Honestly, I think I’m going to owe my grandma a lot of money for the 12 million votes she’s done. We were one big team, I don’t think there should be one winner, we couldn’t have got through it without all of us,” she told the show’s hosts, Ant Mcpartlin and Delcan Donnelly, after winning.
In response to Scott’s landmark win, fans have flocked to social media to send congratulatory messages to the 35-year-old athlete.
