I’m A Celeb says emotional goodbye as Ruby Wax becomes fifth star to leave
The I’m A Celeb camp bade a tearful farewell to Ruby Wax, with the comedian hugging each of her fellow contestants as many could be heard crying. Ruby is the fifth star to leave this series, following Kelly Brook’s departure during Tuesday’s episode.
Before leaving, Kelly took a parting jab at Angry Ginge and Aitch. The trio had previously hoarded half of the milk bottle sweets they won in a challenge, pretending they only had one each to share with the rest of the camp.
Kelly revealed on her exit that there were actually more than ten milk bottles, leaving her campmates stunned — especially Shona McGarty, who was seen fuming in a sneak peek of tonight’s episode.
Kelly calls out Aitch and Ginge as ‘babies’
On Unpacked, Kelly Brook didn’t hold back, calling out Aitch and Angry Ginge for avoiding chores. She revealed that the pair often refused to wash their own clothes, leaving her to do them herself. Kelly praised Lisa Riley and Ruby Wax for making sure Ginge took on more chores, aware of how little he and Aitch liked helping out. When Joel Dommett jokingly referred to the duo as “teenagers,” Kelly corrected him, insisting they were “babies.”
Fans furious over Ruby Wax’s exit
Ruby Wax’s departure sparked outrage online, with fans demanding a recount. One viewer wrote: “Wtf, how did that happen? Ruby going cannot be right, I demand a recount.” Another added: “Ruby?? RUBY??!! I was expecting her in the final. What have the British public done? Totally made this season.”
A third commented that they would have preferred Martin Kemp leave instead: “Martin is nice, but there’s no way he deserves a place over Ruby. I forgot he was even there! If he wants to be in the final, he needs to do a trial or win some dino dollars.”
Kelly on Jack Osbourne: ‘Controlling’ in the kitchen
Kelly also revealed that she caught up with Jack Osbourne’s wife, Aree, after leaving the camp. According to Kelly, Aree confirmed that Jack can be “controlling” in the kitchen, and she was glad viewers got to see this side of him. However, Kelly added that she “adored Jack” and enjoyed spending time with him outside of cooking.
Kelly reacts to being thrown under the bus by Ginge and Aitch
Kelly said there were “no hard feelings” after Ginge and Aitch pinned the blame for the milk bottle incident on her. She admitted it was “rightly so,” as she had done the same thing first. Kelly noted that her actions might make other campmates wary: “If she can do it, what can others do?” — hinting that trust in the camp would be tested after her mischievous move.
Kemi Rogers ‘fuming’ at British public over Ruby Wax exit
Unpacked host Kemi Rogers admitted she was “fuming at the British public” after Ruby Wax was voted out of I’m A Celebrity. She said she had wanted “everyone else to go first,” noting that Ruby, along with Ginge, Aitch, and Lisa, had been bringing energy and laughter to the camp. Kemi added that the comedian’s departure would leave the jungle “a lot drier” and create “a massive hole” with much less fun and laughter.
Fans worry for Jack Osbourne on emotional milestone
Viewers also expressed concern for Jack Osbourne, who faced a particularly emotional day in the jungle. The 40-year-old took on his first solo Bushtucker Trial in hopes of winning stars for camp. Fans noted the date coincided with what would have been the late Ozzy Osbourne’s 77th birthday. The rock legend passed away in July 2025 at age 76 from a heart attack.
On social media, fans shared their support: “Bless Jack, hope he’s doing okay,” wrote one, while another added, “Oh poor Jack.” Others remarked, “Oh man, today’s Ozzy’s birthday,” and, “Not Jack being made to do a trial on Ozzy’s birthday. What a trooper.” Some commented that staying busy on such a day was better than sitting around, showing widespread empathy for the reality star.
Ruby vows revenge over ‘milk bottle gate’
Ruby Wax, meanwhile, was shocked to discover that there were actually 20 milk bottles in camp and that Aitch and Ginge had each eaten three times more than they admitted. She jokingly vowed to “punish” them once out of the jungle, even miming whipping them. The comedian had believed only one extra milk bottle had been consumed per person during the challenge, rather than three, and her playful promise highlighted her disbelief at the sneaky camp antics.
Ruby Wax explains why campmates’ behaviour changed
After leaving the jungle, Ruby Wax spoke to Ant and Dec about why some celebrities’ behaviour seemed to shift during their time in I’m A Celebrity. She explained that those in leadership positions could easily be “corrupted” by power, often starting to see other campmates as “their servants.” Ruby noted that being in charge changes the way you think and interact with others, shedding light on some of the tensions viewers witnessed on screen.
The fifth celebrity leaves the jungle
Ruby Wax became the fifth star to be voted off, leaving her fellow campmates shocked and saddened. Angry Ginge hung his head in misery, while Lisa Riley was heard crying as the comedian said her goodbyes.
Aitch and Ginge trash talk Kelly Brook
In camp, Aitch whispered to Ginge, “She can’t even snitch good,” as they discussed how they’d managed to get away with eating extra milk bottles. Despite Kelly dropping hints about the theft, the pair pretended they had only eaten one each instead of three. Later, Ginge admitted, “If she’d said there were 20, we’d have been f*****.” The campers were furious when they learned the truth, though Ginge blamed Kelly for revealing the situation.
Jack Osbourne pays tribute to his late father
During dinner, Jack Osbourne paused to toast his father, Ozzy Osbourne, who would have turned 77 that day. The 40-year-old became emotional as he reflected on his father’s support and recalled spending Ozzy’s last birthday together the previous year. Later, while washing up, Jack and fellow campmate Martin Kemp agreed that losing a parent is never easy, no matter your age or circumstances, emphasizing the enduring impact of such a loss.
The vote is closed – who’s heading home?
As the latest vote wrapped up on I’m A Celebrity, fans were already speculating about who might be leaving next. One viewer predicted it would be Martin Kemp, pointing out that he hasn’t participated in any Bushtucker Trials or Dingo Dollar tasks. “Martin seems like a lovely guy, but surely it’s his night to go? He’s nice to have in camp, but he doesn’t bring much entertainment,” they wrote.
Tom plays a prank on Martin
Back at camp, Tom teased Martin by pretending that Lisa Riley had fled the jungle. Concerned, Martin asked if the Emmerdale star was okay, only for Tom to reveal that someone else had arrived instead — Mrs Claus! Martin’s confusion grew when he received his gift: a ukulele. He joked that maybe the wrong present had been sent to him. Meanwhile, Shona McGarty couldn’t contain her delight when she received a can of air freshener, giggling and grinning from ear to ear.
Christmas comes to the jungle
On the 22nd night before Christmas, camp got into the festive spirit — well, as much as you can with Tom Read Wilson, Lisa Riley, and a few cheeky jungle rats around. The duo took part in a special challenge to win presents for their fellow campers, sent in by friends. Tom had to push unseen items toward a hatch while Lisa guided him, and together they successfully retrieved every single gift.
Among the prizes were a ukulele for Martin, under-eye gel patches for Aitch, and air freshener for Shona. Excitedly skipping back to camp with their haul, Tom and Lisa dubbed themselves “Mr. and Mrs. Claus,” spreading Christmas cheer throughout the jungle.
