Alex Scott Arrives for I’m a Celebrity 2025, Calling the Jungle Her “Big Challenge”

The former England defender frames the ITV show as a personal test rooted in her shyness.

Overview

  • Scott landed in Brisbane ahead of Sunday’s launch, joining a confirmed line-up that includes Lisa Riley, Martin Kemp and Aitch, with Ant and Dec hosting the 95‑minute ITV1 opener at 9pm.
  • She says she will push herself to speak up among strong personalities, describing the experience as daunting because people assume she is outgoing from television work.
  • Scott said she already misses her partner Jess Glynne and expects this to be their longest time apart, adding she hopes for a reunion on the show’s exit bridge.
  • Her profile is built on a decorated football career with Arsenal, Birmingham City and Boston Breakers, a 2007 UEFA Women’s Cup final winner, 140 England caps and a 2012 Olympic appearance, plus an MBE in 2017 and Hall of Fame induction in 2019.
  • Tabloid reports cite an estimated £2 million net worth, BBC earnings in the roughly £205,000–£220,000 range last year and a 2021 move to a £1.5 million London home believed to be shared with Glynne.
