Alex Scott Forced to Miss I'm A Celeb Final After 'Breaking' Rule
Former Arsenal and England star Alex Scott had to miss the I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! final after breaking a specific rule.
On Sunday, popular streamer and Baller League star Angry Ginge was named King of the Jungle as he beat Tom Read Wilson to the crown.
During the final episode, this year's campmates returned as they witnessed the moment Angry Ginge was announced as the winner.
However, ex-footballer Scott was nowhere to be seen.

When the celebrities leave the jungle, they often stay in a five-star hotel and return to the set when the final takes place.
While the rules say that celebrities typically have to stick around so they can make an appearance during the final, Scott needed to head back home.
During her time on the show, Scott revealed that she is 'madly in love' with English pop star Jess Glynne, and revealed plans to marry her after her time in camp was over.
Scott was the first celebrity to be voted out, but was not met by Glynne on the bridge.
Explaining why she wasn't there, the singer said: "I know people will wonder why I wasn't there at the end of the bridge. So I wanted to share something personal.
"Over the last few weeks, my mum suffered a major stroke and needed urgent brain surgery. It's been a really serious, life-altering time for my family, and I've had to stay close to home. Alex would always want me to be where I'm needed most. I can't wait to have her back by my side."
That was also the reason why Scott missed the final as she returned to the UK to be with Glynne during what is undoubtedly a difficult time.
Scott said to The Express: "It's been tough because I want to be here for the wrap party and I have to get home straight away.
"She's my Jessica, and I'm going home to be her rock. My campmates knew what I was going through and I just want to thank everyone at ITV and my campmates because they've all shown me so much support."
