Fiancee’s pride as England footie
BY MARK JEFFERIES Showbiz Editor I’M A Celebrity favourite Jill Scott has “party tricks up her sleeve” to help her win the series, according to her fiancee.
After landing at Brisbane airport, Shelly Unitt said she was not surprised people had taken to Jill.
She said: “Jill is doing really well and she has got more to come as well. She is a free person and she is getting on with everybody.
“She has got a few party tricks up her sleeve. I am waiting for those to come out but they will.” Shelly said after 16 years in football, Jill would be loving time off in the jungle.
She said: “It is huge and she will enjoy every minute of it.
“Everyone loves Jill and no one has ever, ever said a bad word. She is just
calm, collected, she diffuses situations if needed and she walks away. She has not got conflict with anybody.”
The couple run the Boxx 2 Boxx coffee shop in Manchester and locals have been overwhelming in their support. Shelly said: “My goodness me, it is huge in Manchester and it is getting crazier and crazier.”
Shelly said she and her two daughters, Evie and Hattie, had missed Jill.
“Everyone is missing her. It is a quieter home. Very quiet. Evie and Hattie are missing her and bouncing around. They are so proud of Jill. Really excited. We are all rooting for her.”
Jill, 35, needed the help of a medic to remove a cockroach stuck in her ear after the Unlucky Dip trial. She laughed: “Come to the jungle they said, it’ll be fun.”
