"Contestants for Taskmaster's New Year Treat 2026 have been announced, and lesbian former footballer Jill Scott is among the famous faces appearing on the smash-hit comedy programme. Jill Scott is one of five celebrities on the New Year Treat show, which is returning for the festive period in a two-part special. This is the fifth instalment of the special, but the first to be aired in two parts. The 38-year-old former footballer is no stranger to high-pressure competitions."
"She lifted the Euros trophy with the Lionesses in 2022. Shortly after the win, she announced her retirement from professional football. However, this didn't mean Scott was done with winning. She went on to be crowned 2022's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! winner. This made her the first LGBTQ+ woman to win the show. She will be looking to continue her winning streak. However, first she must fight for host Greg Davies' coveted Golden Eyebrows trophy."
