Jill Scott has said she will be inviting her I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! campmates to her wedding next year.

The Queen of the Jungle, who beat out Hollyoaks star Owen Warner and former health secretary Matt Hancock to the title, revealed that there was no date set yet but she would ‘have to’ invite her TV family.

Jill, 35, has been engaged to Shelly Unitt, 37, since March 2020, and the couple have been in a relationship for around six years.

Shelly is the sister of former England player Rachel Unitt.

Appearing on The One Show on Thursday, Jill was asked about her upcoming big day.

Of making things a little less low key, she admitted: ‘I think it probably came about from I’m A Celeb, they realised that me and Shelley were engaged, so I think that we do need to make a plan – but there’ll definitely be some extra seats at that dinner table, I think.’

‘I’ll have to invite the campmates, won’t I? I’ll have to!’ she added.

Co-host Lauren Laverne chimed in: ‘George has got to DJ!’, referencing singer Boy George, who was one of Jill’s colleagues in the jungle – although she threw her hat in the ring for if George declined.

Jill also revealed that everybody is still in this year’s I’m A Celebrity WhatsApp group chat, amid rumours surrounding Matt Hancock’s involvement.

Discussing how well they had all gelled as a team, she shared: ‘I keep getting asked this, everybody’s still in it! But I think, for me, I like being part of a team that everybody gets on, don’t waste energy arguing, just get them stars and that was our main focus. So yeah, everybody’s still in the WhatsApp chat.’

She also labelled A Place In The Sun presenter Scarlette Douglas as the most active in there.

‘She does give us updates of what she’s doing, but it’s lovely. A few people have met for brunch and drinks. I’m down in London the next few days so I’m hoping to catch up with a couple of them again.’

Scarlette revealed the group’s existence earlier this month, but claimed MP Hancock was yet to be included.

She told PA: ‘I’m not the admin of that WhatsApp group so if Mike [Tindall] wants to invite him he absolutely can, but it’s not me to put the invitation out so we’ll see what happens.

‘He might be busy you never know, he’s doing a lot of stuff, he’s got a lot of press coming up so he might be too busy.’

Jill previously revealed that she had not heard from Hancock since her win.

‘I actually haven’t [spoken to him] since the show,’ she said when asked on Loose Women if they’d kept in contact.

‘My knowledge of politics isn’t actually that good so once in jungle everyone puts their jungle outfits on and we were all one team.

‘He was going and getting the stars and feeding us so I was happy.

‘I haven’t had a message off him yet, that’s the truth.’

The One Show airs weekdays at 7pm on BBC One. I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! is available to watch on ITVX.
