Alex Scott First to Leave the Australian Jungle in 2023S “I’m a celebrity…”
The latest season of “I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!” has seen its first departure, as football pundit adn personality Alex Scott was voted off the show on November 28th. This elimination came as a surprise to many of her fellow campmates, signaling the unpredictable nature of the popular reality competition.
Scott faced the public vote alongside former model Kelly Brook, but ultimately, viewers chose to send Scott home. She was up against a competitive group including Jack Osbourne, Ruby Wax, Martin Kemp, rapper Aitch, and YouTuber Angryginge.
A Positive Exit
Scott expressed a sense of relief and gratitude upon leaving the jungle. She described feeling ”free” and called the experience “incredible.” Importantly,she highlighted the strong bonds formed with her campmates,stating her recognition for the “great bunch” she shared the experience with.
She specifically mentioned a connection with EastEnders star shona McGarty, noting their shared quiet demeanor. Scott admitted she initially found it challenging to navigate the more boisterous personalities, explaining it takes her time to step outside her comfort zone.
Looking Ahead & Supporting Loved Ones
Despite her departure, Scott shared her hopes for the remaining contestants. She voiced her support for both Aitch and Angryginge to reach the final, but expressed a particular desire to see McGarty take home the crown. Scott believes a win would substantially boost McGarty’s confidence and empower her “to take on life.”
Interestingly, Scott’s time in the jungle wasn’t without a minor controversy. She was initially caught smuggling in salt, a prohibited item, and even revealed a second, previously undetected packet during her exit interview. She explained this was a last-minute decision driven by panic before entering the jungle.
Furthermore, Scott has opted to forgo the traditional wrap party in Australia. She’s choosing to return to London to be with her girlfriend, singer Jess Glynne, whose mother recently suffered a stroke. This demonstrates Scott’s commitment to prioritizing her personal life and supporting her loved ones during a difficult time.
The Competition Continues
The first elimination followed a live bushtucker trial, where contestants bravely faced cocktails containing unusual and challenging ingredients. You can expect nightly eliminations to continue until the grand finale on December 7th.
