B1 english after ILR on skilled worker visa route

Hi,
I'm on ILR based on skilled worker visa route.
Just wondering if I need to meet the English requirements for naturalisation because I met it on my ILR application as I have already proved on my first skilled worker visa application. Basically I don't have to show anything to meet English requirements on my ilr.
Please advise!

You can tick the box that you proved English language at ILR and provide details of the exam/visa application.

I was granted ILR under the Skilled Worker visa route. At that time, I met the English language requirement by taking IELTS General Training with a 5.5 overall score. I did not take any English exams afterwards, nor have I obtained any degree since then.
For my upcoming British citizenship (naturalisation) application, do I need to take a new approved English language test (SELT), or can my 2019 IELTS for Skilled Worker visa still be used to satisfy the English requirement? If a new test is required, what are the current acceptable options?
