The football icon became the first celebrity booted out of this year’s series, having joined fellow campmates including Shona McGarty, Aitch, Tom Read Wilson, Angry Ginge, Martin Kemp and Lisa Riley in the Australian wilderness.
Speaking to Ant and Dec afterwards, she reflected: “It’s been such an incredible experience. I didn’t think that… mentally it is so tough, and I did struggle at times, missing home and everything.
“But I’m so glad I got to do this series with such a great bunch of campmates,” reports the Express.

She continued: “We really connected, and I never expected that coming into the jungle, to make the bonds that we all did.”
Many fans had anticipated Jess would be waiting to welcome Alex on the famous bridge following her jungle departure, but both women later explained the singer’s absence.
Jess shared on social media: “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, and I’ve had to stay close to home.
“Alex would always want me to be where I’m needed most. I can’t wait to have her back by my side.”

Alex subsequently confirmed she would be skipping the I’m A Celebrity afterparty to rush home and support Jess through this challenging period.
During her recent appearance on Lorraine, she shared an update, stating: “When I came out and saw that Jess wasn’t at the end of the bridge, her mum has suffered a really bad stroke and had to have brain surgery.
“I had to rush home and be with my Jessica.”
She continued: “She’s in critical care at the moment, so we’ve been at the hospital every day, and straight after here we’ll be heading there.”

Previously, Alex told The Daily Mail: “It’s been a hard couple of months, but Jess was like I want you to go on the show and do it for my mum.
“It’s been tough because I want to be here for the wrap party and I have to get home straight away.
“She’s my Jessica, and I’m going home to be her rock. My campmates knew what I was going through and I just want to thank everyone at ITV and my camp mates because they’ve all shown me so much support.”
Reflecting on her time on I’m A Celebrity, Alex told Lorraine host Ranvir Singh: “I always wanted to show people the real me, when I do sports shows, it’s a very serious, ‘We need to get our point across’, I want them to see the more fun Alex Scott that maybe they didn’t see and be around a group of people and try and come out of myself more.”
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX and Lorraine airs weekdays from 9am on ITV1 and ITVX
