Alex rose to fame as a footballer but has gone on to have a huge career presenting.

Before she headed to Australia for I'm A Celebrity, she admitted "anything to do with endurance" would be the perfect trial for her. She added: "Like, I'm mentally that person that never wants to give up."

Alex confessed people often think she is "hard as nails", but there's another side to her - she's "petrified of a lot of things", with rats and snakes being major fears.

How did Alex Scott become famous?

At 8 years old, Alex was signed to Arsenal playing as a right-back.

She later joined the England women's team at age 16. Over the 13-year period on the team, she made 140 appearances, making her one of England's most-capped players. She even represented Great Britain at the London 2012 Olympics.

In 2017, she retired from playing professional football and pursed a career in broadcasting. So far, it's been a massive success, as she became the first female football pundit on Sky Sports' Super Sunday.

They initially kept their relationship very private, but overtime have become more public having attended many events together.

Alex admitted if she could teleport anyone to the Dunny for a chat, it would be her girlfriend Jess. She said: "My partner Jessica. I don't think she'd be happy joining me in there, but it's not like we have not been in a toilet together before."
