Alex Scott has criticised ITV after becoming the first contestant voted out of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, claiming viewers never saw the 'real me'. The former England footballer, 41, said her 'fun side' was left on the cutting room floor.
Speaking on ITV's Lorraine, Scott told stand-in host Ranvir Singh: 'I had so much fun, and that bit wasn't shown. I was called the Games Master in there... I wish more of the fun stuff, people had seen that side of me.' She added that she wanted viewers to see 'the more fun Alex Scott that they didn't see'.
Scott also revealed that she had to rush home from Australia due to a family emergency. Her partner, singer Jess Glynne, was absent from the bridge because her mother had suffered a major stroke and required brain surgery. Scott said: 'I had to rush home and be with my Jessica. She's in critical care at the moment.'
Despite the difficult circumstances, Scott said she was pushed to take part by Glynne. 'Jess was the one that wanted me to do this, so that's why I wanted to go in and still make her proud,' she explained.
When asked who she would like to win, Scott backed EastEnders star Shona McGarty, but conceded that rapper Aitch and streamer Ginge were likely to be the final two.
