The heartbreaking real reason Jess Glynne didn’t greet Alex Scott after her jungle eviction

I'm a Celeb saw its first eviction earlier this week as Alex Scott left the jungle.

However, after opening up about her relationship with Jess Glynne, many were shocked to see that Jess didn't surprise her at the bridge as she walked away from camp and back to her everyday life.

Now, Jess has opened up about the heartbreaking reason she wasn't present.

Taking to her Instagram Story, Jess shared a note reflecting on Alex's time in the jungle: "My woman might be out far earlier than she ever deserved, but I'm so unbelievably proud of her," Jess wrote. "She didn't get the airtime to show how incredible she really is, and trust me, this is only the beginning."

Then, Jess opened up about the personal reasons that led to her absence. "I know people will wonder why I wasn't there at the end of the bridge, so I wanted to share something personal," she said.

"Over the last few weeks my mum suffered a major stroke and needed urgent brain surgery. It's been really serious, life-altering time for my family and I've had to stay close to home."

She then added: "I can't wait to have her back by my side."

Alex Scott then weighed in on her own IG Story.

“Thank you to my wonderful camp mates who supported me everyday & saw the real me, not an edited version. Thank you to ITV for even getting me through this process & getting me back to Jessica to be by her side during what is a difficult time," she said.

“We have both seen all the love and support and it means the world. The universe spoke and its getting me home asap and I couldn’t be more grateful for that.”

Here's hoping that Jess and Alex are doing okay.
