Jess Glynne has revealed the heartbreaking reason why she didn’t join Alex Scott on the bridge after she left I’m A Celebrity.
She claimed that her mother needed urgent brain surgery because of a “major stroke”. Jess opened up, saying, “My woman may be leaving far earlier than she ever deserved, but I’m so unbelievably proud of her. She didn’t receive the airtime to demonstrate just how amazing she really is, and this is only the start.
I wanted to share something personal because I know people will ask me why I wasn’t there at the bridge’s end. My mother recently had a significant stroke that required urgent brain surgery. My family has been through a very difficult, life-changing time, and I’ve been forced to stay close. Alex would always prefer to take me where I’m most in need. I look forward to having her back by my side.
Alex was the first campmate evicted from I’m A Celebrity, though mystery had initially shrouded why her partner didn’t welcome the TV presenter. Ant and Dec announced the news after a phone vote, which insiders said was “incredibly close.”
It feels like you’re free, Alex said. Such a wonderful experience has been had. It’s been difficult mentally and physically. It’s difficult in there, she continued, “because you constantly get water and firewood.” ”

During her time on the programme, the football broadcaster spoke openly about their relationship. When asked by campmate Ruby Wax about whether she’d tie the knot with Glynne, Scott replied: “I will get married to her, just waiting for her to ask, Rubes!
The former football player also discussed sneaking banned salt into camp, which she sprinkled on dinner after being removed from the house. I simply grabbed a few drops of salt and put them in my sock, Alex continued. My campmates were involved. And they still wished they had salt every day. “

She also supported Shona McGarty in winning. She remarked, “It will change her and give me the confidence to do great things.” “Millions of people are expected to have cast their ballots,” according to Aitch and Angry Ginge fans in particular.
The insider continued, “This has been unprecedented, and one of the reasons why users have issues with the app. “
Following his split from wife Kate Dwyer, who he married in 2018, showbiz presenter Jeff Brazier, has had a difficult month.

Freddy and Jeff Brazier’s feud has accelerated as the young man has turned to his gran Jackiey Budden for support, it is claimed.
Freddy, 21, has this month split with his pregnant girlfriend Holly Swinbourn despite recently gushing about how excited he was to become a father. It is believed he has sought support from Jackiey — mother of his tragic mum Jade Goody — as he adjust to being a single man again.
Photographs taken on Thursday show Freddy, who is a model, with the pensioner as they walked together around Bermondsey, southeast London. It is understood Freddy has moved in with his grandmother in her two-bedroom home in the area. The bonding comes in the wake of Jeff’s own emotional time as the TV presenter too has split with his partner Kate Dwyer, who he married in 2018.
However, it is believed that Jeff, 46, is unhappy that his son opted to move to Jackie’s house instead of his home in Harlow, Essex. “Jeff utterly detests the closeness of Jackiey and Freddy,” according to a source. Freddy isn’t interested in being with her. Jeff claims Jackiey makes his son’s trouble worse and that he is telling people about it. It’s a never-ending war.

The father and son, though, were snapped this week embracing warmly at a Christmas lights switch on at a farm in West Sussex. Speaking after this event, a source conceded Freddy and Jeff have faced “an incredibly stressful year”.
It is thought Freddy finds Jackie good company to ease some of the pressures he faces. Speaking after his move to her London home, the insider told the Daily Mail: “While Freddy was with [his ex-girlfriend] Holly, he was living between Jackiey’s house and Jeff’s. But now he’s on his own he has gone back to his nan’s. He likes it there, he can chill out, smoke and talk about his mum. He sleeps in her old bedroom, it’s comforting for him.”

Their relationship wasn’t so tight, however, as earlier this year Freddy had claimed his maternal grandmother got him “hooked” on drugs when he was just 12. The feisty pensioner quickly refuted these allegations, saying: “I’ve read all these things he’s said about me and I just can’t believe he’d say them. It just isn’t true at all – I can’t believe it.
Before he and I ever smoked together while we were traveling in Essex near Jeff’s house, Freddy said, “He had gotten into some bad crowds, but it wasn’t with me.

Brand new details about the Princess of Wales’s annual Christmas carol concert have been released – just days away from the big event.
Kate will preside over the Together at Christmas service at Westminster Abbey, now in its fifth year, on Friday (December 5). The event will bring together 1,600 guests to celebrate love in all its forms – whether within families, through friendships, across communities or kindness between strangers. A string of new musicians have been announced as performers at the event, with those being added to the stage including singer songwriter Katie Melua, Cornish folk group Fisherman’s Friends and rising star Griff.

And for the first time this year, an illustrator will be sketching obscene scenes from the Abbey to record their unfolding.
The princess will be joined by husband Prince William, who will give a reading, and royal fans will be hoping their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis make an appearance alongside other members of the royal family.
Hannah Waddingham and Dan Smith, both members of the pop rock band Bastille, will also be performing on the roster.
The event will honor those who have volunteered or given their time to help others in their communities, organized initiatives that unite people in their communities, or offered a helping hand to those who are close to them.
During the event, readings linked to the theme of love, compassion and connection will be delivered by Hollywood stars Kate Winslet and Chiwetel Ejiofor, comic Babatunde Aleshe and rising actor Joe Locke, with the speakers accompanied by pianist Paul Gladstone Reid.
The service will also feature the stories of some of those invited, who are assisting in making a more caring and connected society, as well as candles lit by people William and Kate have met in recent years and others who have participated in it.
The Royal Horticultural Society will donate wreaths made by their ambassadors, including Dame Mary Berry, and schoolchildren, while horticulturist Jamie Butterworth’s festive display, based on the significance of nature in our lives, will be presented to them.
A “connection tree” will allow the congregation to include their names, illustrating the importance of genuine connection and the power of interdependence.
A brass ensemble of eight teenagers will play as guests arrive at the service, which Future Talent, the late Duchess of Kent, co-founded to support musically gifted children from low-income backgrounds.
Some 15 community carol services, held in places including the Coronation Street Visitor Centre, an arts centre in Newbury and a community farm in Gwent, are also set to take place across the UK with the same love and togetherness theme.
Continue reading the article.
Armagh, Berkshire, Derbyshire, Dumfries, Dyfed, East Riding, Gwent, Greater Manchester, Isle of Wight, Lanarkshire, Nottinghamshire, Renfrewshire & Ayrshire, Suffolk, Wiltshire and Worcestershire are the locations for the community services which are to be hosted by lord-lieutenants and supported by The Royal Foundation.
On Christmas Eve, the Westminster Abbey program will be broadcast on ITV1 and ITVX, and it will also be repeated on Christmas Day.
After struggling for 18 months after splitting from fellow telly presenter, Eamonn Holmes, the much-loved TV host is now seeing “light in her future.”

Ruth Langsford has admitted she encountered a dark period after her split from husband Eamonn Holmes, but has survived the ordeal and would one day be open to marrying again. The TV host, 65, has spoken out in-depth for the first time since she announced a split from Eamonn in May last year.
Ruth is now getting used to living alone after 14 years of being married, but she acknowledged that her experience has been difficult over the past 18 months and that she is still seeing a counselor to address any issues. Ruth says, “I definitely see light in the future where I didn’t before,” sounding resolute. What would have happened if I had seen the darkness and wondered, Oh my God, what would happen? ‘”.
Quoting the famous Gloria Gaynor song, she added: “But now the fear has gone, because what do you do? Do you crumble? Do you lay down and die? Oh no, not I. I will survive.” The Loose Women star and Eamonn announced their break-up last year, amidst reports they had been living separate lives for some time already. Since then, Ruth has kept a dignified silence but had to watch on as Eamonn began a new relationship with girlfriend Katie Alexander, whom he has regularly taken to events and on holiday.
Ruth insists she is willing to start dating herself in the future despite insisting she is still single. Never, she adds, “do not start a new relationship.” I’m not frightened of dating. I’ve never even been discouraged from getting married, but I’m definitely not looking at it any more, partly because I’ve come to terms with my own prowess. I have a lot of strength and independence. Although it took me a while to realize that, and I’m not sure what lies ahead, the chapter is already quite exciting. Not as terrifying as I anticipated.
Ruth, who shares son Jack, 23, with Eamonn, took time off work from fronting Loose Women when the split was first announced in May last year and returned in July. Sources at the time told the Mirror she had been left devastated by what had happened and how quickly Eamonn moved on. In an interview in January she also conceded it had been “very difficult” and “very painful” in the months that followed their separation.
Ruth said in a new interview with the home magazine woman& that she “started counseling when Eamonn and I separated, and I’m still having it.” It is extremely useful and powerful. It gives me methods for handling situations. My counsellor has probably seen us on television, but she isn’t familiar with either of us, so she doesn’t intervene or make a judgment.
A very long relationship’s end requires a lot of unraveling. Counseling assists in moving past it without being held back.
Ruth is now back working full time on Loose Women and other TV projects, but the ITV series is one of a number of daytime series which will see cost cutting measures next year. The move will see Loose Women air for 30 weeks of the year instead of 52. ITV have insisted the current panel will continue but like hundreds of staff Ruth is waiting to find out more details.
She says: “Television is an exciting job but if it stopped tomorrow, I’d do something else. It would be a shame, but I’ve had a great run so I’d go and work in a garden centre because I love gardening. I never feel settled because I’m self-employed. However, as I’ve got older, I try not to fret about it.
“Throughout my career, I’ve lost my job frequently due to a finished program, a new department head making changes, or the closure of the entire company. Everyone lost their jobs when I worked for Television South West, and we lost our franchise. You panic and believe you’ll never work again at the time. I’m still here, though. No matter what your job title, all I can say to young people who are losing their jobs or going through changes is, “This is difficult, but you will be okay.” Sadly, in most industries, nothing is the same, and we all have to adapt and move on. We persevere despite the difficulties.
Ruth currently works for ITV, runs her own clothing line for the QVC shopping channel, and is preparing to release an Autumn/Winter 2026 collection. Additionally, she will soon start writing. She has now started writing in pencil and has been speaking with a number of publishers since the Mirror made public in July.
She states, “My first book is coming out!” I’ve received numerous requests for doing one over the years, but I never chose the right time. The life lessons I’ve learned over the course of my 65 years, including those that are good, happy, bad, and sad, and how I’m feeling about starting anew at the age of 65 on my own, in a new chapter, are not autobiographies. I hope people will find it encouraging, entertaining, and humorous when it comes out in the first quarter of the year.
And on a lighter note, Ruth also told the magazine she does have one new love in her life – a new vigour for exercise and some classes to stay fit. She says: “My new love? Pilates. I’m hooked!” She adds: “I did it 23 years ago to help a really bad back following my pregnancy with Jack. Back then, it wasn’t so popular. A lot of dancers did it, but I had no clue!
I looked up the Pilates Foundation and chose a woman who, it turns out, resided just one street away as one of the three instructors. I did Pilates with her for a year, and it did help my back, but I eventually lost my mind. We’re currently working again after we recently reconnected with each other. I’m enjoying it to the point where I can’t help but wonder, “Have I just discovered my exercise thing?” It’s hard b****y work. I practice mat and reformer Pilates, and I recently purchased a small home reformer from QVC after it was neglected.

“I’m now almost daily Pilatesers and feeling more powerful. My legs, waist, and core are all affected by it. Strength and movement are at the heart of the discussion. Children who lack coordination and core strength fall over. That is not who I want to be.

Lady Penny and Sir Rod Stewart have been together for more than 25 years, but they recently discussed the secret to their bond in a rare joint interview.

Rod Stewart has admitted the age difference between him and Penny Lancaster does have occasional “downsides” – but insisted they had changed each other for the better during their long-standing marriage.
The pair give a rare joint interview to the BBC for a new series celebrating Christmas. Sitting down next to a festive tree, 80-year-old Rod says he is a changed man thanks to his wife and their marriage of over 25 years. Rod said: “I think, to be honest with you, I think the age difference, there are downsides to the age difference, but not many. I think there’s a maturity, I may have taught Pen, and there’s a certain honesty that she’s taught me.
We don’t argue before going to bed, we don’t argue after drinking a glass of wine, and we wait until the morning. And if there are disagreements, they end right away. And I make an effort to teach all of my boys that “real men can say sorry,” which is exactly what we do. We have a wonderful honesty, and we’ll keep it that way.
I think that as her husband, 54, has grown a lot more compassionate and understanding toward those around her because, obviously, Rod Stewart is a super famous star, but I’m a very diplomatic and compassionate person, and I think some of that has sunk in because the kids will now find dad much easier to talk to. Rod has been encouraged to do the same because I’m open and honest.
The couple, who spoke to BBC’s Anita Rani at their Durrington House, reveal plans for a massive Christmas party for 2025, including a mini Faces reunion, and praise Penny for organizing the family reunion, which will feature Rod’s children Ruby and Liam and three grandchildren who are departing from LA. Alastair, 19, and Aiden, 14, will both be present.
Penny is a really good organizer, Rod continues. Therefore, the clan gathers together. Penny organizes my life by planning all the flights and making sure the timing is right. My band all get up and play, and Ronnie Wood frequently shows up and plays with me. We have an eight-piece band. We sing “Faces” together.
Rod claims that his mother once asked him for a “bread bin” when he was successful enough to give her anything she wanted during previous Christmases. He explained that in the 1970s, they spent a little more on gifts than they did on the album.
We used to be close to one another, he continued. So we frequently saw one another. There is a lot of history there, you know. So I headed down to Selfridges and Harrods to purchase this fridge for him. It appears to be furniture instead of a refrigerator. When you press a button, the lid opens, and all that comes out are two bottles of champagne, glasses, chilled, and everything. A drink is poured over you, and it comes back. So I was incredibly pleased with myself. And I turned it over to Elton’s. I remarked, “Here you are, dear.” And he responded, “Thank you, it’s so lovely. Your present is this.
A Rembrandt was used. In those days, a Rembrandt etching cost about 12 thousand dollars. In Beverly Hills, it’s up close to the movie theater. Oh no, it’s very special.
Rod and Penny star in Rod and Penny’s TV show My Life At Christmas with Anita Rani, which airs on BBC One on December 7 at 10:30 am.

Alex Scott became the first person to leave I’m A Celeb, making Jess Glynne unavailable. As Alex and the singer left Heathrow earlier this month for the UK before heading to Brisbane, the pair had been together.
A loved one is present to meet the celebrity on the bridge each day as they leave the jungle after being rejected by the public. As Jess became the first person to be expelled, many people had anticipated her presence on Friday.
Regan Coleman, Alex’s best friend, was waiting for her on the other side, though. “Before we let you go over the bridge to Regan, your best friend,” said host Dec. The pals embraced one another with a massive hug as Alex crossed the bridge.

Alex told hosts Ant and Dec that Jess had told Alex to be herself when she headed into the camp. Jess, however, remained in London and appeared on ITV’s This Morning, where she offered an insight into her relationship with Alex. During her stint in the jungle, Alex told Ruby Wax: “I will get married to her, I’m just waiting for her to ask. I know my forever is with her.”
“She’s been talking about getting married. Have you got the ring yet, babe?” This Morning host Alison asked Jess. The Hold My Hand songstress said: “Yeah! No! The pressure! Why do I have to ask her? It’s a weird one, innit, I mean, you never know who will ask who but…”
Jess revealed Alex’s sweet sign and signal to her while she was in the jungle elsewhere during the conversation. Have you noticed that Alison is constantly twirling her necklace, Alison asks? Does anyone interpret that as a warning? Is that for you, Jess? which the singer responded, “Yeah”! before saying, “No, I don’t know!”
With Alison pointing out: “I think it’s a sign to you to say ‘I love you, I miss you'” with Jess responding: “I think it is a little bit, it’s cute!” It comes as after the scene in question aired on I’m A Celebrity, Jess told Hits Radio presenter Tom Green that the “pressure is on”, joking: “I went to the shop straight after…”
Alex explained to hosts Ant and Dec in an interview after the break that her experience “does not feel real, you just live in that moment with the campmates.” She said, “It’s been such an incredible experience,” reflecting on her exit. I did have a difficult time missing home, but I’m so happy I got to do this series with my campmates. She continued, “It’s tough in there – you always get water and firewood.”
She explained that she had never anticipated such a fantastic jungle experience. However, an unidentified male leaving the toilet seat up in the dunny never occurred to Alex and her campmates.
Alex claimed that they were “quiet personalities who gravitated towards each other” when talking about growing close to each other. She gushed, “Shona, I think Ginge and Aitch are great, amazing, to see them in the final, but seeing Shona become Queen of the Jungle would change her and give her the confidence to be brilliant at life,” she said.
Millions are expected to have voted – mainly led by fans of popular duo Angry Ginge and Aitch. An insider told the Mirror: “It’s been unprecedented… And one of the reasons why people have had issues with the app.” It comes as the weather in camp has hit 30 degrees over the last few days, which has come as a relief after they were battered by storms earlier this week.

Due to the abundance of biting insects and the dry climate, it is a relief for the celebrities. According to the insider, “every celeb complained about getting bitten in recent days… the conditions were very uncomfortable.”
Get Me Out of Here Because I’m A Celebrity! airs daily on ITV1 and ITVX starting at 9 p.m.
