In the wild world of *I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!*, kitchen disasters are practically a rite of passage, but AngryGinge just elevated the chaos to legendary status during Thursday night’s episode. The fiery social media sensation stepped up as head chef for the first time, teaming up with *EastEnders* star Shona McGarty to whip up the camp’s all-important dinner. What should have been a simple, satisfying meal turned into a total fiasco—especially for vegetarian Lisa Riley, whose dreams of a perfect avocado feast were shattered by a rookie mistake that had the whole camp shooting daggers!
AngryGinge had a kitchen nightmare as he took over cooking duties for the first time in the I’m A Celeb camp during Thursday night’s episode
It all started with a chores shake-up that thrust Ginge into the spotlight. Brimming with bravado, he dove into the task, but things went south faster than a kangaroo on the run. In a moment of sheer absent-mindedness, Ginge plopped a piece of chicken right on top of Lisa’s avocado, cross-contaminating her veggie delight beyond repair. Realizing his epic blunder, he whispered a panicked confession to his sous-chef Shona: “I’ve f**ked that up, haven’t I?” Then, facing the music, he addressed the entire camp with a sheepish apology: “There’s been a slight cock-up in the kitchen. I’d like to apologize in advance to the vegetarians.”
Cue the death glares! The camp erupted in a mix of frustration and disbelief. Ginge’s jungle bestie, rapper Aitch, couldn’t resist piling on with some savage banter: “Fancy putting chicken on a vegetarian’s plate as a chef. You might as well have slapped her with a piece of steak.” Ouch! Even Ginge owned up to the mess in the Bush Telegraph, declaring himself “What a k**b. His first day in the kitchen, and if it was a real kitchen, the restaurant would have been instantly shut down. Ladies and gentlemen, AngryGinge.”
While the campmates fumed—earning Ginge those infamous icy stares from every corner—viewers at home were rolling with laughter, dubbing the mishap “comedy gold.” Social media lit up with fans praising the hilarious blunder. One X user gushed, “Ginge being the chef might actually be the best decision they’ve made in there!” Others chimed in: “As a viewer, seeing Ginge mess up when it’s his first time being on cooking duty is absolute class”; “Lisa and Ginge are actually comedy TV gold, they have such a good relationship”; “Tonight has been a great episode! Have been cracking up! Ginge sabotaging the veggie dinners!”

Amid the kitchen carnage, the episode delivered another twist: Martin Kemp became the latest evictee, narrowly escaping the bottom two alongside Lisa. Fans were thrilled to see Ginge and Lisa sticking together, their unlikely bond shining through the drama. Martin’s exit came hot on the heels of his first Bushtucker trial, after a surprising reveal from presenter Vogue Williams on a live stream that he’d been secretly exempt from some challenges.
After 20 grueling days in the jungle, the Spandau Ballet icon sat down with hosts Ant and Dec, beaming with relief: “I have dreamt about this moment. It’s just a weird trip. I loved just sitting around and talking with the others. I said it a few times on there, I’m not one for making new friends and this is the first time I’ve done it in years and I absolutely loved it.” Reflecting on his journey, he added, “Coming out now, I feel like I’ve done everything I want to do, experienced it, and I can walk out with some brilliant anecdotes. I wasn’t one of those guys that was dancing and singing and stuff, I just brought a calm energy.”
Martin’s son, Roman Kemp—who placed third in the 2019 series behind winner Jacqueline Jossa—was quick to poke fun at his dad’s earlier-than-expected departure. Posting on X with a cheeky “Oh noooo,” Roman had been vocal throughout, even jokingly calling his father the “jungle ghost” for his limited screen time, a sentiment echoed by frustrated fans.
From kitchen catastrophes to heartfelt evictions, this episode had it all—proving once again why *I’m A Celeb* remains the ultimate jungle rollercoaster. Will Ginge redeem himself in the kitchen, or is more mayhem on the menu? Stay tuned!
