Football presenter Alex Scott's emotional exit from I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! was missing one crucial element - her partner of three years, singer Jess Glynne. Fans had anticipated a romantic jungle reunion, but Jess was notably absent for a heartbreaking reason.
A Love Story Forged in London
Alex Scott and Jess Glynne's romance began in 2023 when they first crossed paths at a London private members' club. According to Alex, the connection was immediate and powerful. "The chemistry was instantaneous," she later recalled about their fateful meeting where Jess made the first approach.
After several months of keeping their relationship away from the public eye, the couple decided to go public in October 2023. They soon became a familiar presence on the celebrity circuit, attending events together and gradually opening up about their bond.
Life-Changing Love and Jungle Confessions
Alex has been remarkably candid about how meeting Jess transformed her life, revealing that before their relationship she "never knew happiness". Her time in the Australian jungle only strengthened these feelings, with Alex telling campmates that separation from Jess represented the hardest challenge they've faced as a couple.
During her jungle stint, Alex shared touching details about what she missed most - Jess's pasta cooking and their quiet moments together. In perhaps her most revealing confession, Alex told fellow celebrities she could see herself marrying Jess, joking that she was "just waiting for her to ask".
The Engagement Buzz and Missed Reunion
Alex's marriage comments didn't go unnoticed by Jess, who fuelled engagement speculation by posting "I better go get a ring" on social media while Alex was still in the jungle. This sent fans into a frenzy about a potential proposal.
Rumours had circulated that Jess planned a surprise cameo to greet Alex after her jungle experience. However, when Alex became the first contestant to leave, Jess was unable to fly to Australia due to a family emergency. Her mother had suffered a major stroke requiring urgent brain surgery.
Jess publicly supported Alex despite being unable to be there physically, writing: "My woman might be out far earlier than she ever deserved, but I'm so unbelievably proud of her. She didn't get the airtime to show how incredible she really is and trust me, this is only the beginning."
The couple's strong bond, tested by distance and family crisis, continues to capture public attention as fans eagerly watch what comes next for one of Britain's most beloved celebrity pairs.
