LSH Auto customers in Stockport were stunned when they came face to face with football royalty turned I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! jungle queen Jill Scott at a festive dealership event.

Just days beating Hollyoaks star Owen Warner and former Health Secretary Matt Hancock to be crowned ‘Queen of the Jungle’ for 2022, Scott chatted to guests at the AM100 car retail group’s Christmas customer event at its sprawling retail site beside the M60 in Greater Manchester.

Scott, who retired from professional football after the Lionesses’ won the title of champions of Europe at the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022, attended the event at the dealership where she previously collected her new Mercedes-Benz A-Class A250 e AMG Line.

LSH shared images of the vehicle's handover (pictured) on its Facebook page.

During her visit Scott also took time to chat to fellow dealership guests, sample food and drink on offer from local artisan stallholders and meet members of the Lady Barn House School choir, who performed at the event.

LSH Auto UK managing director Martyn Webb explained his desire to see the Hong Kong-owned car retail group’s facility in Stockport become a hub for local events when he was interviewed for a dealer face-to-face feature shortly after the development's completion back in 2019.

Speaking to AM this week, Webb said: “Last night’s event was a huge success. We enjoyed hosting our customers and colleagues to enjoy an evening of festivities. Having Lioness and queen of the jungle Jill Scott surprise us with a visit was an added bonus.”
