A quiet evening in the Australian jungle camp was shattered by a surprising discovery: Alex Scott, the former England football star, had broken the cardinal rule of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here – she’d smuggled in contraband.
The revelation didn’t come to light during a dramatic challenge, but during dinner preparations. Viewers had already noticed Alex subtly enhancing the camp’s meager meals, pulling small sachets from her person as she prepped vegetables and rice. Her offer to “add some flavours” while others tackled crocodile feet sparked immediate suspicion.
The camp was thrown into a state of alert when Jack announced a “contraband amnesty.” A safety scare forced a temporary evacuation, but the underlying tension remained: Alex had been secretly seasoning the food with salt, a forbidden luxury in the harsh jungle environment. She confessed to the nightly additions, a small act of rebellion that quickly escalated.
But Alex wasn’t alone in her rule-bending. Shona McGarty, another campmate, stunned everyone with her own confession – she’d somehow managed to sneak in a full bottle of scented room spray. The sheer audacity of it left viewers and fellow contestants alike in disbelief, questioning how such an item could even make its way into the camp.
Social media exploded with reactions. Fans were both amused and baffled by Shona’s air freshener, while others demanded a punishment for Alex’s seasoning. The producers, it turned out, had been aware of the spray, which was taken from the team after Shona’s trial, adding another layer to the unfolding drama.
Ant and Dec didn’t miss a beat, playfully calling out Alex’s transgression on air. Their teasing foreshadowed a consequence, and the camp ultimately lost one of the eleven stars earned during a Bushtucker Trial – a tangible price for breaking the rules.
The incident served as a stark reminder of the strict regulations governing life in the jungle, and the lengths to which contestants will go for a little taste of home. It was a moment of unexpected levity, a twist in the ongoing saga of survival and camaraderie that defines I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here.
Despite the momentary disruption, the campmates eventually settled down to enjoy their slightly diminished dinner, the scent of jungle and, perhaps, a hint of air freshener hanging in the air.
