In a moment that left viewers stunned, Alex Scott — former Lioness, broadcaster and fan favourite — became the very first contestant voted off I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! 2025.
Her departure set off waves of disbelief online, with many fans insisting:
“I did NOT see this coming.”
Alex, 41, landed in the danger zone after comedian Eddie Kadi was exempt from elimination thanks to his trial victory, leaving her unexpectedly vulnerable. When her name was called, campmates erupted into applause, hugging her tightly as she grabbed her bag and walked out of camp for the final time.
Speaking to Ant and Dec just moments later, she exhaled deeply and said:
“I’m free! It feels strange… unreal. Now I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m out.’”
Yet despite being the first to go, Alex refused to show disappointment.
“It’s Been Mentally Tough — But I’m So Glad I Did It”
Alex insisted her exit didn’t upset her, calling the entire jungle journey an experience she’ll never forget.
“It has been mentally tough,” she admitted.
“But the laughter, the bonds, the connection with everyone — I’m so grateful I got to do it with this group.”
Moments later, she burst into laughter watching footage of herself smuggling contraband salt into camp — hidden in her sock.
“It helped the rice!” she joked.
But the cheeky move cost the entire team a star.
And when asked about the worst part of jungle life, Alex didn’t hold back — calling out Martin Kemp in the most iconic way possible:
“The smell of the toilet… shocking. And someone keeps leaving the seat up. But we can’t say anything… he’s a national treasure.”
Who She Wants to Win — And Her Emotional Bridge Exit
Before stepping onto the iconic red bridge, Alex revealed her pick to win the show:
“Shona. If she wins, it’ll give her confidence — and she deserves it.”
She also praised Ginge and Aitch, saying she’d love to see them reach the final.
Waiting at the end of the bridge was her close friend Regan Coleman — but noticeably missing was Alex’s girlfriend, Jess Glynne, who was performing across the UK during Alex’s exit.
Fans Heartbroken: “How Is She Out FIRST?!”
Social media exploded within minutes of her elimination:
-
“Alex Scott going home FIRST? Heartbreaking.”
-
“How is she out? I hate everyone.”
-
“Thought it’d be Lisa, not Alex!”
Many viewers said they were shocked to see someone so strong, funny and connected with the campmates leave so early.
A Love Story Playing Out Beyond the Jungle
During her time in camp, Alex spoke openly about her relationship with singer Jess Glynne, calling her the person who finally taught her “what happiness feels like.”
She revealed she was hoping Jess would propose — and after watching the episode, Jess posted:
“I better go get a ring.”
Jess also called Alex a “true trailblazer” while supporting her from afar, sharing how proud she was of her girlfriend’s resilience in the jungle.
Alex Scott: Stronger, Softer, and More Determined Than Ever
Alex also reflected on diversity in television, saying she wants every job she gets to be for her talent — not to fill a quota.
“I want to be chosen because I’m the best person for the role,” she said.
“It brings me joy seeing more women talk about sport on TV — something I never had growing up.”
This year’s jungle may have pushed her to the edge, mentally and physically, but Alex walked out with her head high — laughing, glowing, and ready to reunite with the woman she loves.
The journey was tough.
The exit was shocking.
But Alex Scott?
She left the jungle exactly as she entered it — brave, honest, and unforgettable.
