Jill Scott lands Saturday Night Takeaway role with Ant and Dec months after I'm a Celebrity win

Jill Scott will have an I'm A Celebrity reunion with Ant and Dec in front of the nation next week, after the hosts confirmed she will join them on Saturday Night Takeaway.

Jill was the runaway winner of the last series of the ITV show when it returned to Australia for the first time in three years, following two trips to Wales due to the coronavirus pandemic. Having tasted success with the England Lionesses in the Euros last summer, thanks to their win in the final over Germany at Wembley, Jill was the hot tip to win I'm A Celeb from the off and, despite odds shortening on Hollyoaks actor Owen Warner beating her, she won the public vote by a huge margin.

Since her win in the jungle, Jill has been busy with a string of public appearances, including working for ITV for the World Cup in Qatar, just days after leaving Australia. She has also been on shows like Loose Women and Good Morning Britain and just last week was one of the star guests at the Red Sky Ball in Sunderland, as one of the patrons of the charity, alongside Steps star Faye Tozer.

And on Saturday, March 25, Jill be back in the primetime slot with Ant and Dec as she follows in the footsteps of the likes of David Tennant and Big Zuu by being Takeaway's Star Guest Announcer.

Jill's involvement was announced by the Geordie presenters right at the end of Saturday's show, which went a bit chaotic when latest celebrity announcer Toni Colette swore live on air, minutes into the delayed broadcast.
