In a jaw-dropping twist that left fans reeling, Alex Scott – the beloved former professional footballer and fan-favorite – became the first campmate to be evicted from the “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” jungle. Viewers tuned in tonight as the results of the public vote were revealed, sending shockwaves through the camp and sparking an online uproar.
The drama unfolded after a heartfelt recap of the previous night’s events, where the full camp of 12 celebrities gathered for what could be their last evening together. Each star delivered an emotional farewell speech, reflecting on the highs and lows of their jungle adventure and what they’d take away from the experience.
Alex, who dazzled audiences on “Strictly Come Dancing” and earned her stripes as a Lioness on the pitch, captured hearts with her candid words: “I suppose the only way that I can describe this is it is like being on a rollercoaster. And I’m shit scared of rollercoasters but I keep wanting to go back.”
She added with a mix of gratitude and excitement, “And when we do get off the other end, whether I leave tomorrow, I’ll be telling everyone forever about this magical rollercoaster.”
Come morning, the tension peaked as the celebrities learned the public had been voting to save their favorites. Hosts Ant & Dec dropped the bombshell: Alex had garnered the fewest votes and was heading home.
Visibly emotional but gracious, Alex shared her final thoughts: “It’s been such an incredible experience. Mentally it’s so tough and I did struggle at times missing home and everything. I’m so glad I got to do this series with such a bunch of great campmates.”
But the real fireworks erupted online, where furious fans flooded Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) with their outrage. Many slammed the decision as unjust, pointing fingers at other campmates they believed should have gone instead.
One Instagram user fumed, “Should have been Kelly. Alex got no screen time so unfair.” Another echoed the sentiment: “WRONG DECISION!!! Should have been Ruby [Wax].”
The backlash continued with posts like, “Was not expecting that. I was hoping it would be Kelly,” and “Poor Alex, she’s done nothing, Kelly or Ruby should’ve gone.” One viewer demanded, “Would have preferred Kelly across the bridge!”
Over on X, a devastated fan lamented, “Devastated that Alex Scott is the first to leave camp. Sadly she just wasn’t given enough airtime. I would’ve liked to have seen her have more one-on-one chats with the campmates.”
This unexpected exit has ignited debates across social media, with fans rallying behind Alex and questioning the show’s editing and voter choices. As the jungle thins out, one thing’s clear: the internet isn’t done venting just yet! Who will be next in this rollercoaster of a season? Stay tuned.
