In a jaw-dropping twist that has the jungle buzzing louder than a swarm of mozzies, I’m A Celebrity viewers were left reeling when pop sensation Jess Glynne pulled a vanishing act during her girlfriend Alex Scott’s emotional exit from the show. The former Lioness, 41, became the first celeb to get the boot on Friday night, facing off against ex-model Kelly Brook in a nail-biting elimination. But as Alex crossed that iconic bridge, fans braced for romance—only to be hit with a curveball that sparked wild theories and endless X chatter.

Picture this: the tension builds, the votes are in, and Alex emerges from the wild, ready for a heartfelt reunion. Fans had their popcorn popped and hearts aflutter, fully expecting Hold My Hand hitmaker Jess, 36, to be waiting at the end with a ring in hand, ready to drop to one knee. “We wanted Jess to be at the end with a ring,” one devastated viewer tweeted on X, capturing the collective dream. Another chimed in, “I really thought Jess would have been on the bridge to meet Alex,” while a third lamented, “What a let down it’s not Jess at the end of the tunnel.”
But plot twist! Instead of a fairy-tale proposal, Alex was greeted by her close pal Regan Coleman. No Jess in sight—no sparkles, no “will you marry me?” Just a friendly hug that left the audience scratching their heads and firing up their keyboards. “Jess Glynne isn’t there?? Surely Jet2 could have sorted her out,” joked one fan, while another quipped, “Wait Jess isn’t at the end of the bridge with the ring ready to propose??” Theories exploded: “I wonder if Jess Glynne is waiting for Alex back at the hotel?” speculated a hopeful soul.
The drama didn’t come out of nowhere. Deep in the jungle, Alex had opened up to campmate Ruby Wax about her whirlwind romance with Jess, spilling the tea on how it all began. “I think before her, I never knew happiness,” the ex-pro footballer confessed. “She approached me in Chiltern Firehouse… I was in there with my friends and she just walked up to me… [it was] really ballsy. I was like, I like your ballsiness, and then the spark was just instant and then yeah… we fell madly in love.”

When Ruby pressed on marriage plans, Alex didn’t hold back: “I will get married to her, just waiting for her to ask, Rubes.” Cue the frenzy! Jess fueled the fire last week by posting on Instagram, “I better go get a ring,” sending fans into overdrive. “Jess Glynne is going to propose to Alex on the bridge isn’t she,” one predicted on X. Another gushed, “Alex Scott talking about meeting Jess and being in love with her on prime time British TV is so inspirational and warming for my heart.”
So, where was Jess amid all this? Eagle-eyed fans cracked the case like jungle detectives. The singer had been cheering Alex on from afar, even appearing on ITV’s This Morning earlier that very day to rally support. “Jess Glynne was literally on This Morning earlier so impossible for her to be in Australia,” one sleuth pointed out on X. Another added, “Her Mum & Jess on This Morning today so who’s gonna meet her.” Ah, the logistics of love—London to the Aussie outback in a flash? Not even a pop star’s jet could pull that off.
Jess has been Alex’s biggest cheerleader since the show kicked off, sharing updates and hyping her girl from home. But this no-show has turned into the ultimate cliffhanger, leaving fans wondering: Is a surprise proposal still on the horizon? Or was it all just jungle fever? One thing’s for sure—this elimination has etched itself into I’m A Celeb lore as the most talked-about absence ever. Stay tuned, folks; the real proposal might just be waiting off-screen!
