In a jaw-dropping confession straight from the heart of the I’m A Celebrity jungle, retired footballer Alex Scott, 41, left her campmates—and viewers—speechless as she spilled the beans on her passionate love life. Opening up about her sexuality and her whirlwind romance with pop sensation Jess Glynne, 36, Alex didn’t hold back, declaring that intimacy with women hits a whole new level of fiery connection compared to her past experiences with men.

Chatting intimately with comedian Ruby Wax and actress Lisa Riley around the campfire, Alex got real about what makes her heart—and everything else—race. “It’s completely different with women, especially for me,” she confessed. “It’s always been about a deep emotional connection which then makes the sex more passionate than ever anyway because you have such a deep bond between you.” She didn’t stop there, adding that her relationships with men always felt like something was missing—a void she never encountered with women. “I had relationships with men throughout my life, there was always something missing for me that I never had with a woman.”
Alex even rewinded to her teenage years, revealing her first steamy encounter with a woman happened at just 17. But after that eye-opening moment, she returned to dating men—until fate brought her to Jess, flipping her world upside down.
The candid chat followed Lisa Riley’s own vulnerable share about her incredible weight loss journey, shedding from a size 28 down to a size 16. “My absolute guilt for years and years was blindness to portion control… I’ve completely cut out nibbling,” Lisa admitted. “I’m never lazy, I think it’s hereditary, I really do.” Not one to stay silent, Ruby Wax jumped in with her take on aging gracefully—or not so gracefully—sharing how menopause tanked her sex drive, adding a layer of raw, relatable humor to the mix.
This wasn’t Alex’s first jungle heart-to-heart. Just the night before, she gushed about being “madly in love” with Jess and her dreams of walking down the aisle. “I think before her, I never knew happiness,” Alex beamed. Back in the real world, Jess caught wind of the lovefest and teased on Instagram: “I better get a ring.” The pair’s meet-cute? A bold move at London’s celeb haunt Chiltern Firehouse in May 2023. “I was in there with my friends and she just walked up to me… It was really ballsy and I was like, ‘I like your ballsiness’,” Alex recalled. “The spark was just instant and then yeah…we fell madly in love.”
When Ruby probed about wedding bells, Alex didn’t hesitate: “I will get married to her, just waiting for her to ask, Rubes!” She also opened up about battling social anxiety in crowds, crediting Jess for pulling her out of her shell. “I go inwards in myself in big groups,” Alex shared, but Jess urges her to shine: “Show them what I see everyday.”
The emotional revelations capped off a chaotic day in camp. It all kicked off when Angry Ginge tried to whip up breakfast, only for the massive pot of beans to topple and douse the fire—leaving everyone fuming. Rapper Aitch vented in the Bush Telegraph: “I reckon some rules and regulations need to be put in place, because Ginge can’t keep putting out the fire!” The mishap sparked a full camp “community meeting” around the flames, where stars aired their gripes and bonded over the wild ride of jungle life.
With confessions this explosive, the I’m A Celebrity camp is heating up faster than ever—who knows what truth bombs will drop next?
