I’m A Celebrity’s Ant and Dec have announced which celebrity has been given the boot from the ITV jungle extravaganza.
During Wednesday’s (December 3) instalment, the Geordie presenting pair made their way back to camp and disclosed that Ruby Wax had been eliminated from the Australian wilderness after securing the fewest public votes.
The performer’s jungle journey has reached its conclusion following her placement in the bottom two with Emmerdale favourite Lisa Riley.
Before her departure, the star received an outpouring of encouragement from her fellow contestants, who appeared stunned and saddened by her elimination.
Ruby becomes the fifth celebrity to bid farewell to I’m A Celeb, following in the footsteps of Alex Scott, Eddie Kadi, Vogue Williams and Kelly Brook, reports the Express.
After her emotional farewells, she sat down with Ant and Dec to discuss her time in the camp. In her departure chat, Ruby revealed she had managed to “totally forget” the outside world, describing her campmates as her “family”.
Earlier in the programme, audiences witnessed the camp’s response to Kelly Brook’s explosive revelation before her exit, where she exposed the reality behind ‘sweet gate’.
The former model sparked pandemonium by using her final moments to expose her fellow confectionery culprits Aitch and Angry Ginge.
Just as she departed, she chose to finally confess about secretly consuming half the sweets from a challenge several days earlier. “There were more than 10 milk bottles, bye,” she chirped as she departed.
The penny dropped for Jack Osbourne as well as their fellow jungle dwellers, who were anything but pleased.
Ginge hastily attempted damage control by claiming there were 13 treats, with Kelly consuming the first of the surplus three, implying that he and Aitch had only indulged in one additional sweet apiece.
Yet viewers are well aware that the threesome divided 10 sweets amongst themselves, with the scheme being Aitch’s brainchild. Shona appeared furious as she addressed the camera: “Remember when I ate the butter? Do you remember how many people were coming for me? Do you remember Kelly coming for me?”
Jack subsequently informed the remaining campmates about the pilfering taking place. Aitch persisted with the deception, whilst Ginge declared “Kelly’s to blame for that”.
When Ant and Dec revealed the sweet scandal to Ruby during her departure chat, she was taken aback by Aitch and Ginge’s conduct. She subsequently pledged to “punish” the duo upon their next encounter.
