Alex Scott First Out of I'm a Celebrity

Former England footballer Alex Scott became the first celebrity eliminated from "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!" on Friday evening, departing the Australian jungle after receiving the fewest public votes. The 41-year-old pundit, who had spent two weeks in the camp, said goodbye to her campmates around the campfire before crossing the bridge to meet hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.

Scott and model Kelly Brook were the final two at risk, having been placed in the bottom two following a viewer vote. The elimination came after a tense reunion of the celebrities, who had been split into rival camps earlier in the week. Seven contestants ultimately faced the public ballot: Scott, Brook, Jack Osbourne, YouTuber Angry Ginge, rapper Aitch, comedian Ruby Wax, and Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp. This unusually high number resulted from a live Bushtucker trial the previous night, where participants downed revolting cocktails of ingredients like fish eyes and fermented fish to win immunity and a meal for camp. Aitch and Angry Ginge both spilled their drinks, disqualifying them, while the others failed to finish quickly enough.
