Alex Scott reveals 'test' that I'm A Celeb jungle will place on relationship with girlfriend Jess Glynne
Alex Scott is one of many famous faces going into the jungle for the latest series of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! and it's only one more day before it all kicks off.
The former footballer is among the star-studded line up of actors, musicians, models and comedians who are about to be showered with bugs, made to crawl through foulness and chow down on unpleasant dishes for our entertainment.
How much any of them will be subjected to the ordeals that are Bushtucker Trials will be a little bit different this year as a major rule change has been introduced to I'm A Celeb.
It'll only be two trials in a row for any one person, so it'll be on the whole camp to share the burden of tackling the tough tasks which win meals for the celebrities.

One of the more difficult aspects of the show, beyond the obvious challenges of the Bushtucker Trials, is the hunger which comes from days where they don't get a lot of food.
This is part of the reason why Alex Scott has said she reckons being on I'm A Celeb will pose a really tricky 'test' for her while she's away from girlfriend Jess Glynne.
Yes, that Jess Glynne, the one whose song 'Hold My Hand' gets played on all those Jet2 adverts.
Anyhow, speaking to The Sun ahead of her time in the jungle, Scott said the thing she'll miss most about her girlfriend is Glynne 'cooking pasta for me'.
“Those quiet moments when your life’s 100mph, just coming home… she loves to cook, and we love to sit and have a glass of wine, I’ll most probably be watching football in the background," the former footballer turned pundit said.
“I’m definitely going to miss that, especially when I’m so hungry."
“Most probably all I’m going to be thinking about is, ‘Please, can I just have Jessica’s pasta right now?’ It’s a test for both of us."
Scott said she knew Glynne would be her 'biggest cheerleader' and wanted her to go on I'm A Celeb because of the challenge it would pose, while she also reckons that some time apart 'makes the heart grow fonder'.
However, she also said that 'over the last couple of years, I feel like my armour’s come back up again' and that from the start of their relationship she and Glynne were 'very guarded and private'.
Describing her relationship as two people who are 'genuinely so in love and just care for each other', it seems clear she'll be missing her partner while she's in the jungle.
The 2025 edition of I’m A Celebrity debuts this Sunday (16 November).
