Jill Scott's net worth, Soccer Aid F-bomb, relationship with team-mate's sister
Jill Scott returns for Soccer Aid 2025 in the latest endeavour of her hectic media career, which is boosting her net worth nicely but getting in the way of her wedding plans
Jill Scott is lacing up her boots once again as England face the World XI in Soccer Aid 2025. Elevated to nationwide fame after Sarina Wiegman's squad clinched Euro 2022 at Wembley, the Lionesses icon continued to capture hearts by winning I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! later the same year.
Despite her skyrocketing popularity, Jill, 38, keeps her feet firmly on the ground. Speaking with OK!, she confessed: "To be honest, I'm faking my life half of the time."
She'll be back in the limelight on Sunday for her third successive Soccer Aid appearance. But away from the public eye, she enjoys a serene and simple existence in Manchester with her partner Shelly.
Who is Jill Scott in a relationship with?
Scott's romance with Shelly appears to have come about via Jill's former England and Everton team-mate Rachel Unitt, who is Shelly's elder sister. The couple's relationship has flourished over nearly 10 years and in 2020, they got engaged.
Yet the altar remains a step away for them. Jill told OK! that several obstructions have hindered their wedding organisation, bemoaning that they "haven't had the time" to get plans in place. "It's been so busy that we're like passing ships at times," she said in October 2023.
"We're definitely starting to think about what we want to do. We've been engaged for nearly four years now, but with Covid and lockdown happening, we sort of lost momentum for a while."
It seems they still haven't tied the knot, although Jill remained optimistic as she added: "But Shelly and I have finally been making some wedding plans and we're definitely in the swing of things now."
What does Jill Scott do now?
They've certainly had their hands full with their bustling schedules. Shelly juggles her role as a community health officer with managing the Boxx2Boxx coffee shop that they co-own.
When she isn't appearing on our television screens, Jill lends a hand with the graft at the coffee shop. Post-football, she's carved out a career as a pundit, offering insights into both the men's and women's game.
She's also a team captain on Sky's A League of Their Own and a fixture on the Stick to Football podcast, bantering weekly with Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane and Ian Wright. Come Sunday, she's set for her third star-studded stint in Soccer Aid.
Why did Jill Scott swear?
In what turned into one of Euro 2022's unforgettable moments, Jill let out a fiery "f*** off you f*****g p****" after a clash with Germany's Sydney Lohmann, caught in full colour by the cameras. Despite the slip going viral and earning her acclaim, she's not proud of the outburst, as she confided to FourFourTwo she's usually the first to tell off kids for any foul language, including Shelly's daughters Evie and Hattie.
She said: "I must say I don't like swearing, if I ever hear kids swear I pull them up on it. But I didn't have a leg to stand on in that moment, but we won and hopefully people remember the football rather than what I might have accidentally said."
Despite this, Jill hasn't quite taken her own advice, as she once again let slip an F-bomb during last year's Soccer Aid match, prompting a live on-air apology from ITV.
Commentator Sam Matterface said: "I don't know if you noticed it, I certainly didn't, but there may have been, just may have been, some rather industrial language that emanated from Jill Scott's mouth when she missed the chance. If that was the case, we do apologise!".
His co-commentator Iain Stirling couldn't resist quipping: "We'll apologise on Jill Scott's behalf, just in case. I'm actually getting fed up apologising on Jill Scott's behalf. She needs to wash her mouth out with soap quite frankly!"
What is Jill Scott's net worth?
Before diving into the jungle for I'm A Celeb, Jill's footballing career had already netted her a tidy sum, with estimates of her wealth ranging between £1.3million to £3.4million. However, after appearing on the show, which granted her a sizeable fee – albeit one she claimed on Good Morning Britain to be "a lot lower" than Matt Hancock's hefty £320k – her finances soared.
According to The Sun, she raked in an impressive £720k in 2023 as the equity in her company, Jill Scott 8 Ltd, climbed to £1.2m. Moreover, she rewarded herself with two significant payouts of £50k and £300k.
With her media career showing no signs of slowing down, her net worth is predicted to keep climbing in the seven figures for the foreseeable future. However, Sunday's event at Old Trafford is all about raising funds for UNICEF's projects aimed at assisting vulnerable children worldwide.

England goalkeeper Hannah Hampton hopes to ‘live up to the legacy' of Mary Earps
Earps was instrumental in inspiring the Lionesses to their first major trophy on home turf in 2022, but had been slipping in boss Sarina Wiegman's favour behind 24-year-old Chelsea shot-stopper Hampton before announcing she would be stepping away from international football last month. Hampton felt her predecessor did not deserve the 'scrutiny' she experienced in the aftermath, but conceded she was 'not expecting' a reply to a congratulatory text she sent Earps, 32, after she made her shock decision public. living out the dream of a little girl from the Midlands who never stopped believing. proud to be representing my country at another major tournament🏴 — Hannah Hampton (@hannahhampton_) June 5, 2025 'We're going to miss her as a person here,' Hampton said. 'She's a big personality in this team and she glued us all together at times when we needed (her) to. 'So, I think it's been difficult for everyone to come to terms with what her decision is, but we have to respect that. And now I've got to just go and live up to her legacy. I'll give it my best shot for sure.' In April, Wiegman confirmed the younger keeper was 'a little bit ahead' of two-time FIFA Best winner Earps. 'First of all we have to obviously respect what (Earps') decision is,' said Hampton. 'I think there's been quite a bit of scrutiny that she probably doesn't deserve with everything that she's achieved in the game and obviously (she's) put women's goalkeeping on the map for the younger generation, aspiring to now be a goalkeeper. 'It was never really a thing and Mary's changed that. There's so many more young boys and girls taking part in goalkeeping, which was never the case when I was growing up. 'I think I've done everything I need to do. I've sent her a text and I congratulated her on a very successful international career and I think that's all I really can do. 'I don't think there's anything else and I'm not expecting anything back. She's been an unbelievable player.' Hampton has steadily risen up the ranks for both club and country since joining Chelsea from Aston Villa in 2023. And ahead of England's Euros defence – which begins against France on July 5, she added: 'I think of it as just playing another game of football. 'There's not really much pressure that you can put on yourself. We're here as a big team. Mary Earps has today announced her decision to retire from international football with immediate effect. The decision marks the end of a memorable eight-year international career. ❤️ 🏴 — Lionesses (@Lionesses) May 27, 2025 'You'll get through the games as a big team, whether that was me starting or me on the sidelines supporting – you knew what your role was going to be for the whole of the summer. 'Just getting that bit of clarity already helps you prepare for whatever your role is. My role is different this time around compared to the last tournaments, but it's not going to change my mindset. 'I'm there to enjoy myself, do the nation proud with all the girls and get memories. I remember all the memories from the last World Cup and Euros and I cherish every single one of them, I just want to keep repeating that.'
