Alex Scott Says She’s Waiting for Jess Glynne to Propose as Singer Jokes About Ring on Instagram

When Alex Scott looked into the camera during I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!the Australian jungle on November 19, 2025, she didn’t just share a moment—she dropped a bombshell. "I will get married to her, just waiting for her to ask, Rubes!" she told fellow contestant Ruby Wax, her voice cracking with emotion. The crowd of viewers watching on ITV1 and Virgin Media One in London fell silent. Within minutes, Jess Glynne responded on Instagram Stories with five simple words: "I better go get a ring." The internet exploded.

"I Never Knew Happiness"

Scott, the former England women’s national football team defender and now BBC Sport pundit, has spent years refining her public persona. She came out in her 2022 memoir, Changing the Game, revealing her eight-year relationship with fellow footballer Kelly Smith. But it was clear, even then, that something had shifted. "Before her," Scott told The Sun ahead of entering the jungle, "I never knew happiness."

She wasn’t exaggerating. In the same episode, she told Wax: "I know my forever is with her." And when asked why she and Glynne kept their relationship private for over a year, Scott said: "It was meant to happen when it did… when I’m in a place where I’ve worked through so much and am ready to accept love into my life."

A Love Story That Started With Ballsiness

Their love story didn’t begin with a grand gesture. It began in the back booth of Chiltern Firehouse in London, early 2023. Glynne, then riding high from her seventh UK number-one single, walked up to Scott—who was out with friends—and introduced herself. "She just walked up to me," Scott recalled to campmates. "Really ballsy. And I was like, I like your ballsiness."

That spark didn’t fade. They were first spotted together at Advertising Week Europe in May 2023, but kept their relationship out of the spotlight. Even when paparazzi snapped them at London restaurants or gallery openings, they stayed quiet. It wasn’t until the BRIT Awards after-party on March 2, 2024, that they kissed publicly for the first time—on the red carpet, in front of cameras and fans. Digital Spy called it "a defining moment for LGBTQ+ visibility in British pop culture."

Why Now? The Jungle as a Test

Scott didn’t enter I'm A Celebrity just for the cameras. She called it a "test" for their relationship. "I’ll most probably be thinking, ‘Please, can I just have Jessica’s pasta right now?’" she admitted to The Sun. The couple’s domestic rhythm—Glynne cooking, Scott cheering—is central to their bond. In the jungle, Scott’s chosen photo from home showed her, Glynne, and Scott’s mother, smiling at an undisclosed location. It wasn’t just a snapshot. It was a promise.

And Glynne? She’s been quietly building toward this. In a 2024 interview with PinkNews, she said she felt "real happy in love" for the first time. On Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place podcast, she credited therapy with helping her become "unapologetically me." That’s the foundation of this relationship: two women who’ve each fought their own battles—and found peace together.

What Happens Next?

The timing couldn’t be more perfect. With Scott set to exit the jungle soon, rumors swirl that Glynne will propose on the "bridge"—the symbolic reunion spot where eliminated celebrities reunite with loved ones. The Tab speculates the engagement could happen "on the bridge as they meet," a moment viewers have been waiting for since the moment Scott said "I will get married to her."

And while the world watches, Glynne’s Instagram response wasn’t just a joke. It was a signal. She didn’t say "maybe" or "soon." She said, "I better go get a ring." That’s not a playful deflection. That’s a plan.

For fans, this isn’t just celebrity gossip. It’s a rare, unfiltered glimpse into a love story that’s been built on patience, privacy, and profound emotional honesty. Two women who didn’t need the spotlight to know they were meant for each other—and now, perhaps, are ready to let the world in.
