Lioness captain Leah Williamson opened up about her close bond with I’m a Celebrity’s Jill Scott – details
November 25, 2022 - 10:14 GMT Phoebe Tatham Professional footballer Leah Williamson made history earlier this year at the UEFA Women's Euros. In an exclusive chat with HELLO!, the 25-year-old sporting star opened up about her close bond with Jill Scott, her brush with royalty and life off the football pitch.Since securing a triumphant victory against Germany in the Euros final, Leah has been working hard to support women in sport.
"[She] had to start playing with women's teams because there weren't any girls' teams at the time. For her, she was okay with that, but for some people that's too big of a jump. A 13-year-old player playing with a 33-year-old woman... It's a big age difference." When she's not representing England and Arsenal, Leah carves out time to relax and unwind. At the top of her list of binge-worthy shows is ITV's hugely addictive I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! And of course, Leah is rooting for former Lioness, Jill Scott.
