Alex Scott was noticeably missing from the I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here reunion after her popstar girlfriend Jess Glynne was dealt some ‘life-altering’ news. The Coming Out show aired on ITV on Saturday night (December 13) and saw the campmates reunite after three long weeks in the jungle.
ITV gave viewers an exclusive look behind-the-scenes to show what happened when eleven of the stars returned to luxury. The hour-long special presented by Ant and Dec caught up on all the celebrity’s reactions after leaving camp as well as recapping all best moments from the 25th series.
After sprucing up for the final, the stars all waited at the hotel to greet Angry Ginge after he was crowned King of the Jungle. Meanwhile, Ruby Wax had a ‘date’ with her jungle crush, Kiosk Kev, despite husband Ed greeting her as she crossed the bridge.
However, the one campmate who wasn’t there was Alex Scott, who was the first celebrity to be voted out of the jungle. After her exit, the former Arsenal star flew straight back to England to support her partner Jess Glynne after it was revealed her mum had a major stroke just before the ITV series aired.

When fans noticed the popstar wasn’t there to greet Alex on the famous bridge walk, Glynne revealed some heartbreaking news. In a statement, she said: “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 therefore chose to miss the wrap party to be there for her girlfriend and her family. Speaking to the Daily Mail, the footballer said: “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.”

After leaving the jungle, Alex hit out at ITV for her lack of airtime. Speaking on Lorraine, she said: “It’s me actually being out and learning what’s been aired and what’s been shown. I had so much fun, and that bit wasn’t shown. I had so much fun. I was called the Games Master in there, the stuff that I was doing with everyone.
“It’s only an hour show so only so much can go into the edit but when I reflect, I wish more of the fun stuff, people had seen that side of me. I wanted them to see the more fun Alex Scott that they didn’t see.”
She added: “Ginge and Aitch have had all the airtime and everyone has seen them, but my special bond with Shona, I don’t think the public have seen the real journey she’s been, she’s spoken so much about her anxiety and her fun side but I don’t think anyone has seen it.”
