Jess Glynne Reveals the Heartbreaking Secret Behind Her Absence on the I’m A Celeb Bridge — as Alex Scott Walks Out Alone

Jess explained her mother's illness was a 'life-altering time' for her family and that Alex 'would always want me to be where I'm needed most' as she supported her girlfriend of two yearsJess Glynne has revealed the devastating reason she wasn’t waiting at the end of the famous I’m A Celeb bridge to greet her girlfriend Alex Scott — and it has left fans floored.

Just one hour after Alex became the first campmate to be voted out of the 2025 series, the singer broke her silence on Instagram, sharing the private family tragedy that kept her away:
her mum suffered a major stroke and required emergency brain surgery.

Jess, 36, wrote an emotional tribute that struck thousands of her followers:
“My woman deserved so much more time on screen… I’m proud beyond words.”

But it was her next confession that stunned fans.
“I know people will wonder why I wasn’t there to meet her at the bridge,” she continued, before revealing the news she had kept private for weeks.

Jess Glynne has revealed she was unable to greet Alex Scott on the I'm A Celeb bridge because her mother has suffered a 'major stroke and underwent brain surgery'“My mum suffered a major stroke. She needed urgent brain surgery.”

Jess described the nightmare her family has been living through, calling it a “serious, life-altering time” that forced her to stay close to home — even as her girlfriend faced the brutal jungle.

She added:
“Alex would always want me to be where I’m needed most. I can’t wait to have her back by my side.”

Alex, 41, was greeted off the I¿m A Celebrity bridge by her friend Regan ColemanAlex’s Emotional Exit — and the Hug She Didn’t Expect

Instead of Jess, Alex was greeted by close friend Regan Coleman, who rushed to the end of the bridge to meet her after a mentally draining two weeks in camp.

The 41-year-old former Lioness shook her head and laughed with relief as she told Ant and Dec:
“I’m free! It feels strange… almost unreal. But what an experience.”

She insisted she wasn’t disappointed to be the first eliminated.
“It’s been tough mentally, but the bonds we made mean everything.”

Fans, however, strongly disagreed — and let ITV know it immediately.

The internet erupted within minutes:

  • “Alex Scott going first?? Absolutely ridiculous.”

  • “I didn’t even think she was in danger — how is she OUT already?”

  • “She deserved more airtime. End of.”

Many echoed Jess’s frustration that Alex barely appeared on screen during her time in the Jungle — a fact highlighted again when she wasn’t even shown receiving much airtime during camp discussions or challenges.

Alex’s jungle journey was far from simple. She was punished for sneaking contraband salt into camp, battled tough trials, and even opened up about diversity in sports broadcasting before leaving.

But it’s clear the hardest challenge has been happening hundreds of miles away.

Jess did, however, offer hope to fans as she signed off:
“This is only the beginning for her. The world hasn’t even seen half of what she can do.”

And now, as Alex returns home to a family still reeling from a medical emergency — the couple’s reunion will be emotional for reasons no one knew until last night.
