‘See you soon!’

In the latest update surrounding Alex’s I’m A Celebrity rumours, the Strictly star confirmed she was off somewhere soon.

While sharing a mirror selfie shared to her Instagram Story this week, Alex could be seen wearing a cosy fluffy sweater. In the background appeared a large black bag.

However, on the mirror appeared three Post-it notes from partner Jess. One said, “Alex I love you!” Meanwhile, the other two had “Forever + Ever” and “See you soon!” written on them.

Alex kept her caption simple, adding three red heart emoji.

Alex Scott set for stint on I’m A Celebrity 2025

According to The Sun, Alex is set for a trip Down Under for this year’s series.

Insiders claim that Alex, who is in advanced talks with ITV to appear on the show, is keen to show a different side of herself by taking part.

“Alex loves pushing herself out of her comfort zone, and where better to do it than the jungle?” they said.

“The public know her as a sportswoman and a serious broadcaster, so she thinks she can show people a side to her that they’ve never seen before,” they then continued.

“Alex is game for anything and is a tough cookie, so she’s ready for anything that gets thrown at her — literally.”

In a statement to ED!, a show spokesperson said: “Any names suggested for I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here are just speculation.”

ED! has also contacted Alex’s representatives for comment.

Who else is going on I’m A Celebrity 2025?

The news came just days after Christine McGuinness revealed that she will be taking part in the show.

During the Pride of Britain Awards, Christine let slip that she’ll be braving the jungle this year.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, she revealed that she’s turned the show down in the past. “In the past, I am never away from my children. I’d be frightened of the creepy crawlies and I have sensory issues. I have never been outside Europe so flying over there would be quite a challenge, but I’ve got a bit of ‘[bleep] it’,” she said.

“Trying to get over to the jungle might be a bit of a mission, but this year is the year I have been most like, ‘[bleep] it why not?'” she then said.

The star then hinted that fans will learn of her casting in a “few weeks”.
