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:
Alan Halsall
Coronation Street star Alan Halsall has been in the rumour mill for a number of years now and it's understood he was due to appear in 2023, before picking up a nasty ACL injury which resulted in him needing major surgery. It's now being reported that bosses are keen to sign Alan for the 2024 show.
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.
However, after Olivia didn't appear in the 2023 series, could she feature on the 2024 line-up?
Phillip Schofield
After leaving his presenting role on This Morning in 2023, rumours were rife that Phillip Schofield could take part in the 2023 series. As fans will know, Phillip wasn't on the line-up, but with reports suggesting he's about to make a comeback to TV, could I'm A Celeb be the platform he needs to re-launch his career?
Alex Beresford
Good Morning Britain weather reporter Alex Beresford has 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, so will 2024 be her year?
Sam Aston
Coronation Street legend Sam Aston hinted he'd love to take part in the show in 2021.
Speaking to OK! Magazine at the time, he said: "I've always said no to all of those shows, but then recently for some reason I've been more open to the idea. Jennie McAlpine and Andy Whyment did the jungle and both of them said it's the experience of a lifetime.
"If I was offered it I would be open to the idea and open to the extra pennies!"
The Vivienne
RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne recently admitted she would love to appear on I'm A Celeb during a chat with Lorraine.
She said: "Do you know what, I've never thought about it but what an absolutely amazing opportunity that would be."
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. As he's not yet entered the jungle, could 2024 be his 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. Could 2024 be his year?
Richard Arnold
Good Morning Britain's entertainment presenter Richard Arnold is usually the one travelling over to Australia to report on the cast, but if rumours are to be believed, he could be taking part this year!
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.
