Former England footballer Alex Scott is set to join the cast of this year’s *I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here!* This exciting news has elicited a light-hearted response from her girlfriend, singer Jess Glynne.
Alex Scott’s Jungle Adventure
At 40, Scott, who has represented England in 140 international matches and won multiple titles with Arsenal, is ready to step out of her comfort zone. This adventure will challenge her fear of heights and require her to adapt to the unique lifestyle of the Australian jungle.
Support from Jess Glynne
In an interview with ITV, Scott revealed that Glynne is skeptical but supportive of her decision. “Jess thinks I am absolutely mental,” she shared, indicating the playful nature of their relationship. Both Glynne and Scott’s mother are fans of the show, providing emotional backing as Scott prepares for the experience.
Challenges Ahead
Scott describes herself as a reserved person, a trait that could complicate her interactions with the other contestants. “Not going into myself for being the shy one will be my big challenge,” she admitted. Despite her confident on-screen presence, Scott often finds herself seeking companionship at public events.
Leadership Skills from Sports
Her career as a sports captain has equipped her with valuable skills for the challenges ahead. “I hope as I was team captain and had to keep the peace, that my leadership qualities will come out,” she stated. Scott emphasized her competitive nature, focusing on personal achievements rather than competing against others.
Personal Insights
As she anticipates her time in the jungle, Scott acknowledges the sacrifices that come with it. She mentioned her love for hair products and favorite snacks, like custard creams and bourbons with tea, expressing concern about the limited food options.
