I’m A Celebrity’s Ruby Wax Sparks Controversy After Admitting to Major Mistake

Ruby Wax, a contestant on the reality show I’m A Celebrity, stirred up controversy during a recent episode that aired on November 19, 2025. The 72-year-old comedy legend is currently among ten celebrities living in the Australian wilderness for three weeks. Her jungle experience has been eventful, featuring a harrowing trial involving snakes and a difficult eating challenge alongside fellow contestant Angry Ginge.

Ruby Wax’s Kitchen Blunder

In the latest episode, Ruby encountered a significant problem that caused tension among the camp members. Upon waking up, she discovered that the campfire had extinguished overnight. Seizing the moment, Ruby attempted to reignite it for breakfast preparations. However, her efforts led to disastrous results.

• The rice and beans served at breakfast were overcooked.
• Contestants expressed their dissatisfaction with the soggy meal.
• Eddie Kadi exclaimed, “I felt like I was eating a rock!”
• Martin Kemp described it as “rough,” while Lisa Riley added, “It’s so dry.”

A Moment of Reflection

As discussions arose about who was responsible for the cooking mishap, Ruby initially stayed quiet. Later, in the Bush Telegraph, she reflected on her role, admitting, “I think it was me. I put the rice down but then I forgot to get it off.” Even after discovering a hair in her portion, she hesitated to take full responsibility.

Her humorous quip, “Let’s find the DNA and we’ll find out who screwed up the rice,” did little to ease the tension. Eventually, she confided in Ginge, Aitch, and Lisa, saying, “I think I put it on the fire.” Aitch joked that he would inform everyone of her mistake, while Ginge expressed disbelief at Ruby’s oversight.

Additional Camp Tensions

This incident was not the only point of contention in the camp. Kelly Brook became emotional after Jack Osbourne criticized her potato-cutting technique, leading to an apology filled with tears. “I’m so sorry, Jack, if I’m coming at you and if I’m cutting potatoes wrong, but honestly, it’s only coming from a place where I just want to help,” she articulated through her distress.

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! continues to captivate audiences, airing at 9 PM on ITV1 and ITVX, as tensions and challenges unfold in the jungle.
