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:
Su-Elise Nash
Mis-Teeq singer Su-Elise Nash is reportedly set to follow in the footsteps of her band mate Sabrina Washington, who appeared in 2009. A source said: "Su was incredibly supportive of ÂSabrina's jungle experience and now she could get her own shot. There have been early talks for her to be considered. The reunion has reminded everyone just how much love there still is for Mis-Teeq."
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!
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."
Nick Ferrari
Reports suggested bosses were determined to get TV and Radio host Nick Ferrari on the line-up in 2025, but he didn't appear. Maybe they'll go back with a new offer in 2026.
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!
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, so could she appear in 2026?
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.
