I'm A Celebrity star Alex Scott's mum Carol admits daughter 'still has more to give'
Alex still has more to giveI’m A Celebrity star Alex Scott has been impressing viewers ever since the show began last week. But now, her mum has revealed she doesn’t think her daughter has been her full self just yet.
In the jungle, sometimes it takes celebs a little while before they seem comfortable enough to open up to each other. But this year, they all seemed to bond very quickly. And Alex has even spoken a lot about her relationship with singer Jess Glynne.
But now, speaking to This Morning hosts Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond, Alex’s mum suggested we haven’t actually seen the real her just yet.
Alex Scott’s mum appeared on This Morning today
Speaking to the This Morning hosts, Alex’s mum, Carol, confirmed we haven’t seen everything from her daughter yet.
She explained: “Do you know what? I still think she has a lot more to give. She’s not actually really showing her full self yet.”
When Alison asked if that meant she is “holding back”, Carol confirmed she is.
“Yeah, I think she’s holding back. I think so. It takes her time to really get to know people and she is quite shy.”
Jess then spoke up, explaining: “I do think she is showing who she is though. Do you know what, she is being so true to herself. Like, who your seeing is Alex. She is not a loud mouth, she’s not going to be like that. She is not that person. I’m just proud of the conversations she is having and her bravery. And her just being who she is.
“But I do think there is more for her to give. We haven’t seen the best of her yet.”
When Alison asked if Jess has found it “weird” hearing Alex open up on their intimate lives together, Jess admitted it wasn’t really strange.
She said: “It is weird but for me, she struggles to have certain conversations and is so private. So, when you see that, I realise she’s really comfortable being away. And she’s doing a good thing by talking. It’s important for people to see her and get to know her as a person.”
Jess gives update on potential wedding
In one of the very first episodes, Alex admitted to her I’m A Celebrity campmates that she would marry Jess as soon as her other half proposed.
This comment led to Jess posting on her own Instagram, teasing that she was going to go buy a ring. So, naturally Alison and Dermot wanted to know more about it.
Alison asked: “She’s been talking about getting married. Have you got the ring yet?”
Jess immediately responded: “Yeah” before laughing and clarifying what she meant.
She said: “Yeah, like I’m – no. The pressure!” which prompted Alison to ask why she had to be the one to pop the question.
Jess replied: “Why do I have to ask her? I don’t know, it’s a weird one, isn’t it? I mean, you never know, but..”
Alex faces the first elimination which takes place tonight. But whether she goes or stays remains to be seen. However, either way, everyone will be waiting to see what happens next for Alex and Jess!
