She may have been the first celebrity booted off I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2025, but Alex Scott has just dropped the spiciest revelation of the series so far – and it’s got nothing to do with crocodile feet.
The former Lioness and Football Focus presenter, 41, has confessed that her infamous jungle salt-smuggling operation wasn’t a solo mission. Four other campmates were fully aware she’d snuck contraband seasoning into the camp – and some even became unwitting accomplices!

Speaking exclusively to The Sun on Sunday just hours after her eviction, Alex named the co-conspirators: EastEnders star Shona McGarty, TV legend Jack Osbourne, viral YouTuber Angry Ginge, and Emmerdale favourite Lisa Riley all knew about the secret salt stash for days.
“Ginge caught me red-handed one night,” Alex laughed. “He just kept giving me the eye – that classic ‘I know exactly what you’re up to’ look. Shona had been in on it from the early days.”
But the real panic came when Lisa Riley accidentally became the keeper of the evidence.
“I managed to rip open a sachet while cooking and poured the salt in,” Alex revealed. “I handed the empty wrapper to Lisa, who was standing right next to me. She had no idea what it was at first. Next thing I know, she’s sprinting to the dunny screaming because she suddenly realised she was holding the ‘salt crime’ proof! She was shouting, ‘This is unbelievable!’”
The scandal exploded when Alex was caught on camera sprinkling the forbidden seasoning over a grim meal of crocodile feet, rice and veg. During a contraband amnesty, she came clean – and the punishment was brutal: rapper Aitch lost a hard-earned star, meaning one less meal for the hungry camp.

That confession triggered a domino effect, with Shona McGarty then owning up to stealing a can of air freshener from a trial dunny to make the camp toilet bearable.
The master plan? hatched with the help of Alex’s best mate Regan Coleman, who met her on the famous bridge and issued the challenge: “You HAVE to smuggle salt and pepper in – it’ll be a game-changer.”
On the way to the pre-show villa, the celebs stopped at a service station. While cameras were elsewhere, Alex seized her moment.
“I was staring at those little sachets forever,” she admitted. “I thought, ‘Shall I? Go on then!’ I stuffed them down my socks on walk-in day and somehow got away with it. I didn’t even get properly checked. I felt like the naughtiest schoolgirl ever – I was waiting for detention!”
From sock-stashed sachets to camp-wide conspiracy – Alex Scott’s great jungle salt heist has officially gone down in I’m A Celebrity folklore. And with four famous accomplices keeping her secret, it’s clear the real crime was how bland the rice and beans would have been without her!
