She said: ‘I already miss Jess [Glynne], this is the longest we’ve been apart ever, since we’ve been together so I’m not used to it.
‘It’s going to be hard. And I’m going to miss her Birmingham show and I’m gutted I’m not going to be there but I know that she’s going to be my biggest cheerleader.’
Alex added: ‘I’m getting emotional now, I’m trying not to even think about how long we’re going to be separated, hopefully I’ll see her on that bridge but we’ll see.’
It comes after she shared an emotional goodbye with her supportive girlfriend of two years, Jess, at Heathrow Airport on Monday.

Irish TV personality, Vogue Williams, and beloved Celebs Go Dating receptionist, Tom Read Wilson, have been confirmed as the late entries to this year’s I’m A Celeb.
