Alex Scott Punishment Confirmed After Breaking Strict I'm A Celeb Rule

The punishment for Alex Scott breaking a strict I'm A Celeb rule has reportedly been revealed.

It has been more than a week since Scott and her fellow celebrities entered the Australian jungle to take part in the latest series of the popular ITV show, I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!.

During Sunday night's show, there was a controversial moment as former Arsenal and England star Scott was spotted with what appeared to be an item banned by the I'm A Celeb rules.

The contraband in question was seen while Scott and fellow camp chef Jack Osbourne were preparing a 10-star dinner, earned thanks to the efforts of Manchester United fan Angry Ginge at the latest Bushtucker Trial.

Scott was heard saying: "Jack, you have fun with the crocodile toes and just give me the mushrooms, the potatoes, the kale, the veg, the rice.

"I can get a little stir-fry thing going on and add some flavours in. I know people are going to be happy with that."

The 41-year-old was then caught holding a little sachet over the food, believed to be salt.

In response, Im A Celeb hosts Ant and Dec said: "Was that a little bit of seasoning, Alex? I think it was. I think it was contraband. What’s going to happen? Watch this space."

In a video uploaded to social media, Ant and Dec added: "Alex seasoning the dinner! So we think it’s a sachet of salt that she’s nicked from the hotel and she’s had in her bag for a week."

Now, ahead of Monday night's episode, Scott's punishment for bringing apparent contraband into the jungle has been revealed.

According to The Sun, Scott's action will impact the stars won by Mancunian rapper Aitch in the latest Bushtucker Trial. On I'm A Celeb, each star won during the Bushtucker Trials equates to one meal.

It has been stated that the celebrities will be told about the contraband on Monday night, with one star set to be taken away from the total won by Aitch.

In addition, a 'contraband amnesty' is set to take place, with other campmates who have snuck items into the jungle told to give them up without punishment.

Once the procedures are completed, ingredients for dinner will then be delivered to the camp.
