The lioness said that being part of a team her entire career has prepared her well for jungle life.
‘I always say that’s why kids need to go into sport, it’s not at the highest level or anything like that. It’s what you learn through sports, you win, you lose, you work hard at being a good person and you don’t know how you’re going to react to rats and heights, but all that while playing for incredible teams. People have prepared me well for the jungle. he explained.
She tried to stay on her best behavior in the woods knowing her family at home would be watching, she said: ‘I was trying to downplay it at first because I was like Jill, you live on ITV Your grandmother is watching, your nephew, your niece but then as it went on you forgot you were on a TV show.’
She was the only woman to stay in the camp for eight days, but says she saw no need to hold back the likes of Matt Hancock and Mike Tindall.

Jill told Ant and Dec: ‘I never thought about it that way, I didn’t. They were very welcoming. Obviously I’m a bit of a tomboy who plays football. They weren’t like ‘Oh, you sit down, and I’ll get the logs’, I still had to get the water, clean the logs, Danny. No, I never felt that I never did.
