Jill Scott impressed viewers and celebrities alike last night, as she attempted to rap hit song Mysterious Girl on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, but it didn't go all to plan.
The I’m A Celebrity campmates are clearly finding some creative ways to pass the time, and on Monday night’s show, the former England football player, who originally hails from Sunderland, decided to try her hand at rapping.
Getting through a few verses of the 1996 track, from Peter Andre, Jill proved an impressive singer, even though she did mumble a few lines.
As well as impressing viewers watching the show, the song's creator, Peter Andre also had his say on Jill Scott's effort.

‘That’s close enough and let me tell you, I don’t even know the words in the middle,’ Peter said when appearing on Lorraine on Tuesday.
However, he did correct her on the perfume line in the song, in which Jill sang Elizabeth Hurley when it should have been Elizabeth Taylor.
‘It is Elizabeth Taylor perfume, but I’m sure Elizabeth Hurley had nice perfume too,’ he said.
Peter also seemed chuffed by the tribute on the show, of which he was a contestant all the way back in 2004.
‘How nice of her to do that, I love her. She’s a hero,’ he said.
It’s not the first time we’ve been able to hear Scott sing, after the Lionesses stormed a press conference belting out Three Lions (It’s Coming Home) following their Euros win at Wembley in July.
However, she’s not the only camp mate to have shown off some rapping skills since the show started, with Mike Tindall taking on Vanilla Ice’s Ice Ice Baby and Will Smith’s Boom! Shake Shake the Room after her efforts.
