This year's winner has opened up
Last updated 30th Nov 2022
Jill Scott battled it out to become the latest winner of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, but that hasn't meant that she's forgotten her roots. The Lioness was recently crowned the new Queen of the Jungle beating Owen Warner and Matt Hancock into second and third place.
Now the athlete, who could often be seen working at her partner's coffee shop in Manchester, Boxx2Boxx Coffee, has revealed that she will be returning to her job, explaining: "I’m not going to change who I am."
The new Queen of the Jungle told The Mirror: "I’ll definitely be going back in Boxx2Boxx. As soon as the Euros was over I went in because I like to thank them for the support. (Owner and girlfriend) Shelly has been saying they’ve done hoodies and they’ve been buying them and we’ve given money to charity and they have wanted hot banana water."
The I'm A Celeb winner went on to say: "We have customers that have been so loyal to us and have kept the shop going running, especially through Covid so 100%. Just like the Euros, I’m not going to change who I am. So it will be about getting round there and thanking everyone really."
