Football star and TV favourite Alex Scott is swapping the pitch for the jungle as she joins I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! Catch her on Sunday, where she’ll reveal a more personal side to her story, shaped by love and life on and off the field.
During her celebrated career at Arsenal, Scott shared a significant chapter with team-mate Kelly Smith. The two Arsenal icons were not just a dream duo on the field but shared a secret, heartfelt romance off of it. Their relationship, lasting eight years, was a reminder of first love’s deep pull, though it didn’t end in happily ever after.
Scott, who has 140 England caps to her name, shared her journey in her memoir ‘How (Not) To Be Strong’. She opened up about falling “madly and deeply in love” but acknowledges the bittersweet reality of love and heartache playing a vital role in shaping her life.
Nowadays, Alex seems to have found happiness with pop star Jess Glynne, despite the emotional challenges rooted in her past. Her father’s “strict” upbringing is something Scott has spoken candidly about, admitting it took time to express affection freely. Jess has been a supportive partner, helping Scott navigate love’s nuances.
