Jess Glynne<\/a> has revealed the heartbreaking reason why she didn\u2019t join Alex Scott<\/a> on the bridge after she left I\u2019m A Celebrity<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She said that her mother suffered \u201ca major stroke and needed urgent brain surgery\u201d. Opening up, Jess said: \u201cMy woman might be out far earlier than she ever deserved, but l’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.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know people will wonder why I wasn’t there at the end of the bridge, so I wanted to share something personal. Over the last few weeks my mum suffered a major stroke and needed urgent brain surgery. It’s been a really serious, life-altering time for my family, and I’ve had to stay close to home. Alex would always want me to be where l’m needed most. I can\u2019t wait to have her back by my side.”<\/p>\n

Alex was the first campmate evicted<\/a> from I’m A Celebrity<\/a>, though mystery had initially shrouded why her partner didn’t welcome the TV presenter<\/a>. Ant and Dec announced the news after a phone vote, which insiders said was “incredibly close.”<\/p>\n

Alex said: \u201cIt\u2019s like being free. It’s been such an incredible experience. Mentally it\u2019s been tough and I have struggled.\u201d She added: \u201cIt\u2019s tough in there – constantly going to get water and firewood.\u201d<\/p>\n

During her time on the programme, the football broadcaster spoke openly about their relationship. When asked by campmate Ruby Wax about whether she’d tie the knot with Glynne<\/a>, Scott replied: “I will get married to her, just waiting for her to ask, Rubes!<\/p>\n

Speaking after her eviction, the former footballer also opened up about sneaking banned salt into camp, which she sprinkled onto dinner. Alex continued: “I just grabbed a load of salt and I put them in my sock. My campmates were in on it. And now everyday they wish they had salt.”<\/p>\n

She also backed Shona McGarty to win. She said: “It will change her and give the confidence to be brilliant at life.” Millions are expected to have voted – mainly led by fans of popular duo Angry Ginge and Aitch.<\/p>\n

The insider added: \u201cIt\u2019s been unprecedented\u2026and one of the reasons why people have had issues with the app.”<\/p>\n

It comes as weather in camp has hit 30 degrees over the last few days – which has come as a relief after they were battered by storms earlier this week. This is a relief to the celebs as the damp conditions attract leeches, and an influx of biting insects. The insider said: \u201cAll the celebs were complaining about being bitten in the last few days\u2026there were very uncomfortable conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jess Glynne, who has been dating former footballer Alex Scott since the summer of 2023, spoke following her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":316111,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[178577,64,63,134,113358,63509,427],"class_list":["post-316110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-alex-scott","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-entertainment","tag-im-a-celebrity-get-me-out-of-here","tag-jess-glynne","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=316110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/316110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/316111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=316110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=316110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=316110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
