Alex Scott has unexpectedly returned to the UK after being the first contestant eliminated from “I’m a Celebrity 2025.” The former Lioness and Football Focus pundit made the decision to leave the show early to support her girlfriend, singer Jess Glynne, during a family crisis.
Emergency Family Situation
Scott’s early exit was prompted by Glynne’s mother’s serious health condition. She suffered a major stroke, necessitating urgent brain surgery prior to Scott entering the jungle.
Reflecting on Recent Events
In a heartfelt statement, Scott shared the tough circumstances surrounding her decision. “It’s been a tough time for us and obviously her family,” she revealed. Glynne encouraged Scott to participate in the show, despite the challenging family situation, stating, “Jess never wanted me to step away from not doing it.”
Emotional Reunion
After her elimination, Scott described her first conversation with Glynne as emotional. Though she hoped to join her fellow campmates at the post-show festivities, her priority is to return home quickly. “I am going to go home and be her rock,” she expressed.
Supportive Partner
Glynne publicly celebrated Scott’s efforts on social media, stating she felt “unbelievably proud” of her partner. She criticized the show for not allowing Scott enough airtime to showcase her true character. Glynne mentioned, “My woman might be out far earlier than she deserved.”
Future Aspirations
After her exit, Scott expressed a sense of relief, admitting she found the dynamics in the jungle challenging. She mentioned her support for fellow contestants, particularly indicating her hope for former EastEnders star Shona McGarty to win the competition.
As their personal lives evolve, both Scott and Glynne appear committed to supporting each other through difficult times. While their professional pursuits continue, family always remains a priority.
