I’m A Celeb’s Alex Scott Reflects on Jungle Exit and Long-Awaited Reunion with Jess Glynne

Alex Scott Opens Up About Her Emotional Jungle Exit and Reunion

After spending an unforgettable 14 days in the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here jungle, Alex Scott finally crossed the iconic bridge, eager to reunite with her loved ones. However, she was met with a bittersweet moment when her partner, popstar Jess Glynne, was not there to greet her. The absence was due to a serious family emergency, as Jess’s mother had recently suffered a major stroke requiring urgent brain surgery.

Despite the difficult circumstances, Jess had encouraged Alex to take part in the show, supporting her every step of the way. “It was a tough decision to come into the jungle, but Jess never wanted me to step away from doing it,” Alex shared quietly. “I knew there was always a chance Jess wouldn’t be there on the bridge, but she pushed me to seize this opportunity and make her proud.”

Instead of Jess, Alex’s best friend Regan Coleman was waiting at the bridge, and the two shared an emotional embrace. Reflecting on that moment, Alex said, “My first thought when I didn’t see Jess was that I needed to FaceTime her and check in.” The inability to communicate daily with Jess while in the jungle was one of the hardest parts of the experience. “Not being able to speak to Jess every day and see how she was doing was really tough,” Alex admitted. “When we finally spoke, it was an emotional moment.”

Jess later explained on social media why she couldn’t be there to welcome Alex home. She revealed the severity of her mother’s health crisis and expressed how important it was for her to stay close to family during this life-altering time. “Alex would always want me to be where I’m needed most,” Jess wrote. “I can’t wait to have her back by my side.”

Facing Challenges in the Jungle: Support, Salt Smuggling, and Friendships

Throughout her time in the jungle, Alex faced many challenges but found strength in the support from Jess and her fellow campmates. When asked if she ever considered withdrawing from the show, Alex was honest: “Oh, absolutely, 100 percent. But Jess wanted me to do this, so I wanted to go in and make her proud.”

One of the camp’s most talked-about moments involved Alex’s secret salt smuggling mission. The camp lost a star after salt was spotted being sneaked onto the crocodile feet during a trial. Alex confessed with a laugh, “I felt like such a naughty schoolgirl. I was staring at the salt sachets for ages, wondering if I should risk it. I ended up putting them down my socks and didn’t get caught.”

A few campmates were in on the secret, including Jack, Ginge, and Shona. Lisa Riley also became part of the circle of trust after Alex handed her the salt wrapper, leading to a hilarious reaction. When contraband was discovered, Alex and Shona immediately confessed, sharing a knowing look. Shona had also secretly brought in an air freshener for the camp toilet, which went unnoticed by most but was appreciated by everyone.

Beyond the mischief, Alex treasured the friendships formed during the show. She highlighted her close bond with EastEnders actress Shona, praising her growth and newfound confidence. “Shona has been through a lot before the show, and it’s been amazing to see her blossom into this beautiful butterfly,” Alex said. She also dismissed rumors of a romantic spark between Shona and fellow contestant Aitch, emphasizing the genuine nature of their friendships.

Looking Ahead: Love, Laughter, and Future Plans

After leaving the jungle, Alex and Jess finally connected over the phone, sharing an emotional and laughter-filled reunion. Jess told Alex how proud she was of her and how much she loved her. The couple has long joked about who will propose first, with Alex revealing, “Every time I say I’m going to do it, Jess fights me and insists she’ll be the one to propose. I’m just waiting for that day.”

Alex is confident that wedding bells will ring one day, especially after the jungle experience strengthened their bond. “Maybe the jungle accelerated how much Jess has been my rock, and now I can be her support,” she said warmly.

As for the competition, Alex believes the winner will likely be one of the fan favorites, either Ginge or Aitch, due to their strong public support. However, she expressed hope for Shona to take the crown, calling it a beautiful story.

Ultimately, after all the trials and emotional moments, Alex’s greatest wish is to be home with Jess, surrounded by love and support.
