Lioness legend Jill Scott is set to pull on the Soccer Aid jersey once more for the 2026 edition, joining forces with football greats and celebrities to support UNICEF. The England team will feature Scott alongside Wayne Rooney, Jermain Defoe, Jack Wilshere, and stars like Owen Cooper, Tom Hiddleston, and Olly Murs, facing a World XI squad including Gladiators' Nitro and Westlife's Nicky Byrne.
The match kicks off on Sunday, 31 May at London Stadium, airing on ITV. Scott made her Soccer Aid debut in 2023 and returns as a national treasure following her 2022 I'm a Celebrity victory.
Off the pitch, Scott's net worth is estimated between £1.3 million and £3.4 million, amassed from a nearly two-decade professional career, punditry roles, and her jungle appearance fee—reportedly six figures but less than Matt Hancock's £320,000. She also co-owns Manchester coffee shop Boxx2Boxx with partner Shelly Unitt and invests as the face of Loud Investing for eToro.
Scott and Unitt, together for nearly a decade and engaged since 2020, have delayed their wedding. Scott told OK! magazine in October 2023: 'We've been engaged for nearly four years now, but with Covid and lockdown happening, we sort of lost momentum for a while. Shelly and I have finally been making some wedding plans and we're definitely in the swing of things now.'
