England Lioness hero Jill Scott lands in Australia for I'm A Celeb
She retired from football earlier this year
Now that the first trailer has been revealed and the start date has been confirmed, rumours are going into overdrive about which celebrities will be taking part in the 2022 series of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.
As well as hosts Ant and Dec landing in Australia ahead of the new series, which kicks off on Sunday 6th November, a number of high profile stars have also been photographed at Brisbane airport, including Corrie actress Sue Cleaver, Chris Moyles, and Love Island star Olivia Attwood.
And the latest celeb to arrive is England footballer Jill Scott MBE, who was part of the heroic squad who won the Women's Euros in the Summer.
Following the long flight from the UK, Jill was photographed wearing casual attire as she landed, to begin her week-long quarantine in a hotel before the series begins.
35-year-old Jill, who was awarded an MBE in the Queen's 2020 New Year Honours list in recognition of her service to women's football, announced her retirement from the sport earlier this year, following England's historic victory.
After becoming England's second-most capped international footballer (both men and women), Jill told fans: 'Right, we’re not crying. I promised myself. I’m retiring from football.
'And I’m leaving with a gold medal swinging from my neck.' (sic)
During her extensive career, Jill has played for clubs like Sunderland, Everton and Manchester City, as well as representing England at different age levels.
Following her retirement from the game, Jill has appeared on a number of commentary teams, as well as owning her own coffee shop called Boxx2Boxx coffee in Manchester.
Jill is the fifth celebrity to be spotted at Brisbane airport in the last few days. Corrie actress Sue Cleaver, radio DJ Chris Moyles, Hollyoaks star Owen Warner, and Love Island's Olivia Attwood have also landed.
Check out the full rumoured I'm A Celeb 2022 line-up:
Patsy Palmer
Following her appearance on Celebrity Big Brother, bookies had odds of 2/1 for EastEnders actress Patsy Palmer to appear on this year's show. As reality TV fans will know, she's no stranger to TV, having appeared on the likes of The Masked Singer and Dancing On Ice.
Nick Ferrari
Reports suggested bosses were determined to get TV and Radio host Nick Ferrari on this year's line-up!
Jools Oliver
When hosts Ant and Dec invited TV chef Jamie Oliver to appear on the show, he quickly declined, saying: "Thanks for the offer boys, I would love to come on I'm A Celeb. "I think it's an amazing show, but honestly, you couldn't give me enough olive oil in the world to make me eat a witchetty grub or a kangaroo's a--e, no way."
However, he did nominate his wife Jools, adding: "But what I can give you is my wife Jools, she would love to be on the show. Go on Jools."
Ally McCoist
Scottish football legend Ally McCoist was reportedly in 'advanced talks' with bosses to appear on the 2024 series, but he didn't appear! The pundit has turned down the show twice in the past, and it looks like he's done the same again.
Jeremy Clarkson
Thanks to the success of Clarkson's Farm, rumours were rife that Jeremy Clarkson is in demand with reality TV shows, with I'm A Celeb reportedly top of the list!
Tommy Fury
Bookies were tipping Tommy Fury to sign up for the 2024 series, but after landing a rematch with KSI, Tommy turned down the show. Now he's back with Molly-Mae, many thought he'd feature in the 2025 line-up.
Giovanni Pernice
Following his removal from Strictly Come Dancing, ITV/STV bosses were reportedly keen to sign up Giovanni Pernice for the 2024 series, with Mail Online suggesting they are ready to splash out £100,000 to sign him. However, Giovanni then signed up for the Italian version of Strictly and he didn't appear!
Richard Gadd
After shooting to intense fame in 2024 following the release of Netflix's Baby Reindeer, Scottish actor and comedian Richard Gadd was reportedly being lined-up by bosses.
Olivia Attwood
As fans will know, reality star Olivia Attwood was forced to quit the 2022 series due to medical reasons, leaving her gutted. Olivia later hinted she could return for the 2023 series, admitting she'd had chats with bosses during an appearance on Loose Women.
Although she's in demand right now and very busy with radio and TV jobs, we have to admit we'd love to see Liv back in the jungle at some point!
Alex Beresford
Good Morning Britain weather reporter Alex Beresford recently expressed interest in appearing on I'm A Celeb. He told the Mirror: "Out of all the shows I would love to do, I would love to do the jungle."
Alex recently appeared on BBC One's Celebrity Race Across The World.
Danny Dyer
Since Danny Dyer left his iconic role as Queen Vic landlord Mick Carter on EastEnders last year, he's been heavily rumoured for I'm A Celeb.
Of course, his family are no strangers to reality TV, with Danny's daughter Dani winning Love Island back in 2018.
Denise van Outen
The lovely Denise van Outen is no stranger to reality shows, having appeared on the likes of Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Gogglebox in recent years.
Denise has previously admitted she turned down the offer in 2021, but it looks like she's not going to appear in 2025.
Phil Taylor
Ever since he admitted he'd 'love' to appear on the show a number of years ago, darts legend Phil Taylor has been heavily rumoured every year.
Will Mellor
Following his stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, it seems actor Will Mellor has the reality TV bug, as he's admitted to his friend and former co-star Ralf Little he'd fancy appearing on I'm A Celeb
At the time of writing, ITV are yet to confirm any names for the 2022 series.
However, bosses did confirm that the brand new series will begin at 9pm on Sunday 6th November, two weeks earlier than usual due to the Qatar World Cup.
