Alex Scott Leaves ‘I’m a Celebrity’ Early for Personal Reasons
Football pundit and former Lioness Alex Scott has prematurely left Australia after becoming the first star to be eliminated from ITV’s reality show ‘I’m a Celebrity’ 2025. The decision was based on her girlfriend’s mother suffering a major stroke requiring urgent brain surgery, which occurred shortly before she entered the jungle.
Scott’s Decision and Emotional Impact
“It’s been a tough time for us and obviously her family,” Alex Scott told The Mirror. “It was a tough decision to come into the jungle, but then Jess never wanted me to step away from not doing it.” Despite knowing there was always a possibility of her not being across the bridge, she chose to stay in the show until this point.
Impact on Show and Teammates
The elimination of Scott has left a significant impact on both the show and her teammates. “I knew there was always a possibility of her not being across the bridge, if her mum hadn’t got better, or if things had been getting worse,” she said. “But it was a big decision for me to not pass this opportunity, and Jess was the one that pushed me to be here.” Addressing Glynne’s absence from her elimination, she continued: “I needed to get home straight away.”
Glynne’s Supportive Post
Jess Glynne celebrated Scott’s efforts on the show with a post on Instagram. She wrote, “Unbelievably proud of my woman.” Scott and Glynne have been in a relationship for three years. Glynne further explained that her mother’s health issues had required her to stay close to home: “Over the last few weeks, my mum suffered a major stroke and needed urgent brain surgery. It’s been a really life-altering time for my family.”
Scott’s Reflections on ‘I’m a Celebrity’
Alex Scott revealed that she felt “free” after being eliminated from the series but admitted to struggling with the larger personalities in the jungle. She expressed hope that former EastEnders star Shona McGarty would win the series, with rapper Aitch and YouTuber Angryginge coming second and third place.
Despite her early departure, Scott remained positive about her experience on the show: “She is my Jessica – I am going to go home and be her rock,” she said. Glynne’s post highlighted how Alex needed to be by her side during this difficult time.
