Lioness Jill Scott MBE, who brought home the Euros trophy with the England women’s football team this year, has proven a fan-favourite in the jungle on I’m A Celebrity 2022.

The now-retired footballer has brought a burst of energy to the camp, while getting to know fellow campmates including Boy George, Chris Moyles, Mike Tindall, Scarlette Douglas and Matt Hancock.

Back home, Jill, 35, is in a happy relationship, with her partner showering her with support while they’re separated by thousands of miles.

So who is the footballer dating and how long have they been in a relationship? Here’s what you need to know.

Who is Jill Scott’s fiancée?

Jill is engaged to Shelly Unitt, the younger sister of former English footballer Rachel Unitt.

Jill and Rachel represented their country alongside one another on the pitch, so it may be that she met her fiancée through her teammate.

Shelly is the owner of Boxx2Boxx Coffee, which she runs alongside Jill.

The coffee shop was first opened in Northenden, Manchester in April 2021, and is ‘named after Jill’s infamous role as a box-to-box midfielder throughout her illustrious career for club and country’, it states on the website.

In Shelly’s bio on the website, it also says: ‘Hey I’m Shelly the co-owner of Boxx2Boxx coffee shop, if you’re ever looking for me you will find me here because this is where I spend most days.

‘A flat white is my go to drink. When I get time off I love playing board games and cleaning! I enjoy getting out and going for walks with a good coffee!’

How long have Jill Scott and Shelly Unitt been together?

Jill and Shelly have been together for several years, having announced their engagement in March 2020.

In December that year, Jill said that they were sharing their fourth Christmas together, so that should mean they’ve now been together for around six years.

When they announced their engagement, Jill uploaded a photo of Shelly’s hand holding a coffee with an engagement ring on, tagging her in the caption as she wrote: ‘The best coffee so far.’

Shelly shared the same photo on the social media platform, writing in her caption: ‘Yes yes yes!!’

Shelly has two daughters named Evie and Hattie, who she regularly shares pictures of on Instagram.

In December 2020, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns, Jill shared a snap of her and Shelly standing next to a Christmas tree, explaining why they hadn’t been able to celebrate their engagement yet.

‘Happy Christmas everyone! No engagement party as planned but hoping for an even bigger one next year! Feeing very grateful for our 4th Christmas together here’s to many more,’ she wrote.

Shelly’s been supporting Jill in the jungle from afar, recently sharing a picture online taken a few years ago of her partner pretending to do a bug-filled Bushtucker trial.

‘@jillscottjs8 go and have lots of fun and good luck. You’ll always be my queen,’ she said.

I’m A Celebrity returns tonight at 9.15pm on ITV.
