I’m A Celebrity’s Lisa Riley broke down in tears following Ruby Wax’s eviction from camp – as a shake-up marked a big change for all the remaining celebrities.
Emmerdale star Lisa, 49, developed a close friendship with Ruby, 72, with the pair serving as camp leaders.
After the comedian’s departure in Wednesday’s episode, Lisa was heartbroken to lose her new pal.
The Mandy Dingle actress burst into tears as they waved off Ruby across the bridge – and secured Ruby’s lucky pants, which she’d given her, on her wrist.
Fellow campmate AngryGinge said: ‘Absolutely gutted. She was amazing, she kept me going in here through our conversations, our laughs.
Due to camp leader Ruby having exited, it meant Lisa had to leave the leaders’ treehouse and move down to rejoin everyone else.

Both Lisa and Twitch streamer AngryGinge, 24, formed close bonds with Ruby during their time in camp
Last night, viewers saw Ginge look visibly upset after hearing Ruby would be the next celebrity to leave camp for good
The group received a laminate explaining that, per the leader’s departure, camp leadership was now over.
It meant the final seven had to decide amongst themselves as to which campmate would do each chore.
Addressing Lisa, Ginge said: ‘You’ve been getting away with murder, bossing us around!’
The Twitch streamer, 24, volunteered to be camp chef alongside Shona as he hadn’t done it yet.
It was decided that Lisa and Spandau Ballet legend Martin Kemp would pull double duty on washing up and dunny duty.
Meanwhile, Tom Read Wilson would take on both Wood Duty and Water Duty – with Jack Osbourne joining him for the former and Aitch for the latter.
Elsewhere, the celebrities took part in a challenge in a bid to win eggs for their morning breakfast.
They began with 32 golden eggs in their basket, discovering they needed to answer five general knowledge questions.
The campmates had to hedge their bets and place the eggs between three available answers, a structure of iron weights with A, B, or C on them.
For each question, they’d have to place eggs under the answer they felt was correct.
If needed, they could divide their eggs across multiple answers and once their answer was locked in, the weights dropped down on the two wrong answers.
This left the celebrities to play for the remaining eggs left untouched.
For uncracked eggs at the end, they’d get a fresh egg for their breakfast.
Their first question was: ‘Which bird lays the largest egg – Eagle, Emu, Ostrich?’
They bravely put 32 eggs on C which was Ostrich.
As Jack quipped: ‘This is literally us putting all our eggs in one basket!’
The risk paid off, as they answered it correctly.
Following all five questions asked, they successfully won 12 eggs for their camp breakfast.

It comes as viewers previously hailed Lisa as ‘comedy gold’ following dramatic reaction to winning fish and chips for dinner during Tuesday’s episode.

Many rushed to social media to share how much they loved her reaction.

‘Lisa is definitely channeling her inner Mandy Dingle right now.’
While others rushed to Instagram to share the love.
