TEAM’S JET NOSE-DIVED
JILL Scott once feared she was going to die on a plane with her fellow Lionesses after the aircraft nose-dived.
Players were so terrified that they began phoning home in panic to say goodbye to their loved ones.
The former England footballer, 35, was on a flight with her teammates during the 2019 Women’s World Cup in France when the pilot was forced to take drastic action after the jet hit an air pocket, which resulted in players and crew members being sick.
I’m A Celebrity favourite Jill, who already had a fear of flying, was sitting next to current England captain Leah Williamson.
She said: “We nearly went down. It was really bad. It was the World Cup in France.
“Even the pilot said it had never happened to him in 30 years.
“People were being sick and everyone was texting and calling home.
“After that one of the staff members didn’t fly again.”
