Fifth contestant voted off I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

Comedienne Ruby Wax has become the fifth contestant to be voted off I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

The 72-year-old brought a number of her campmates to tears as she left the camp, telling them “I can’t believe it, I’m in a daze” as she left the ITV reality show on Wednesday.

Wax told presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly of her time on the show: “I was in another land, it was fantasy land, and now suddenly there’s a light, and… this is totally the opposite, we were just a cluster of loving people.

“I’d done a show in a jungle, and then I thought with people this would be really interesting, but I didn’t think it would work like this, this is family, and I’m sad I lost them.”

She said she wanted social media star Angryginge to be crowned king of the jungle, adding she would “put money on it” and calling him “the strongest”.

Model Kelly Brook was booted off the show on Tuesday’s episode, when she described the programme as “the most incredible experience of my life”.

Earlier on the episode, Emmerdale star Lisa Riley, 49, revealed her partner Al did not know who she was before they began dating, while telling her campmate, rapper Aitch, about “kiss and tells”, saying she had three.

Asked whether her partner was a fan of Emmerdale, Riley – who is known for playing Mandy Dingle in the ITV soap – added: “No, (he) didn’t know who I was, that was one of the appeals.”

It came after Aitch had revealed “some girl filmed me when I was in bed and posted it everywhere”, adding “it happens, doesn’t it”.

Riley also asked if his fans threw themselves at him, to which he smiled and refused to answer, prompting the actress to add: “The smile says it all.”

Aitch added: “My time in the game is done, man. I’m excited to have kids.”

In the Dangerous Discoveries bushtucker trial, TV personality Jack Osbourne, son of late Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, was positioned in the centre of an archaeological site where he had to unearth ancient stars.

For the first part of the trial he was strapped on his back in the middle of a pit, where he had to search four holes for stars, and in the second part he was able to unstrap himself to look for the remaining four stars hidden on the rest of the site.

Osbourne was given 10 minutes to find the eight stars. In the first hole he found yabby fish, and hesitated to put his hand in thinking they were crabs, before being encouraged by presenters McPartlin and Donnelly.

As Osbourne struggled to find the first ancient coin star and with time ticking, McPartlin joked: “He may have found his nemesis – sand.”

With two minutes gone, he eventually found the coin and progressed to the next hole, which had scorpions in it. He grabbed the coin almost immediately, then in the third hole he found toads, and struggled to find the star, deciding to move on.

In the fourth hole were frilled lizards, and he retrieved the coin before going back to the toads, where he still struggled to find the star, and moved on to the next layer.

In the next four holes he came face-to-face with small crocodiles, spiders, snakes and a ridge tail lizard, which McPartlin revealed had never been on the show before, prompting Donnelly to joke: “He’s difficult to book.”

Osbourne collected all four stars, then had a minute left to go back and search the toad hole, but was still unable to find the star.

After collecting seven out of eight stars he told his fellow celebrities: “The toads are what got me. I couldn’t find the coin where the toads were and it turned out that a toad was just sat on top of it.”

With the I’m A Celebrity camp reduced to eight, Riley and Wax reviewed the chores board, with declining numbers meaning some celebrities would have to do more than one.

Speaking about her decision to put social media star Angryginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, on two chores, Wax said: “So we have Ginge doing two and Aitch doing only one as we knew that would aggravate the situation and we like to see a little conflict between the two of them.”

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs at 9pm on ITV1, STV, ITVX and STV Player, followed by I’m A Celebrity… Unpacked which airs nightly after the main show on ITV2, STV, ITVX and STV Player.
