Ruby Wax Fifth to Exit I'm a Celebrity Jungle

Published 9 December 2025

Comedienne Ruby Wax became the fifth celebrity to be eliminated from "I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!" on Wednesday night, leaving her campmates in tears during an emotional farewell from the Australian jungle. The 72-year-old presenter, who finished in the bottom two alongside Emmerdale actress Lisa Riley, expressed disbelief as she departed, saying, "I can't believe it, I'm in a daze."

In her exit interview with hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, Wax reflected on her time in the camp, describing it as a surreal escape. "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," she said. She emphasized the bonds formed, adding, "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." Wax endorsed social media star Angry Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, as her pick to win, calling him "the strongest" and saying she would bet money on him becoming King of the Jungle.
