Team captain Jill said: “There was some sadness at the end, but I always think, ‘Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened’.
“I’ve loved every minute.”

And retired England footballer Jill reckons there have been moments where she’s crossed the line.
She said: “I think if you go home and think about something, you know . . . you probably shouldn’t have said it.”
Ex-Man City ace Micah told how he still cringes about an encounter with comedian Chris McCausland.
He said: “I was doing a joke and I said I would show him but, obviously, he’s blind.
“I wasn’t trying to take the p***. I was, like, ‘Oh s***’.” Awkward.
Jill also said she’s happy to still be alive after doing some “scary” stunts – including being swung across a canyon in Mexico.
Micah added: “To not have killed one of us off is a real feat.”
They lived to fight one more day . . .
