A body language specialist has claimed to uncover Jack Osbourne's genuine feelings towards fellow campmate Angry Ginge during a tense moment in the I'm A Celebrity jungle.
The prank that sparked suspicion
During the November 24 episode of the popular ITV show, viewers witnessed a revealing moment when Angry Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, played a prank on his campmates. The 24-year-old deputy to camp leader Aitch led everyone to believe he had underperformed in Sunday's Bushtucker Trial, only to later reveal he had actually scored an impressive 10 stars.
Jack Osbourne's immediate response raised eyebrows as he openly questioned whether he could "trust" Ginge following the deception. "I know this isn't intentional Ginge but it got in my head about how well you played saying you only got five stars," the 40-year-old stated. "I was like - can I trust Ginge? As I was going to bed, tired and whatever. I was like: 'Has he been lying to me the whole time?'"
Expert analysis reveals hidden emotions
Behavioural specialist Beth Dawson, working in collaboration with Mecca Games, closely examined Jack's body language during this exchange and identified several telling signs. "During the reveal, he suddenly became quite still and reduced his gestures and has fixed posture and lips pressed together," Dawson observed.
She explained that these physical cues indicated controlled communication rather than genuine emotional expression. "The pressed lips are showing a suppression of emotion and he's holding back," Dawson noted, suggesting Osbourne was carefully assessing the situation rather than reacting spontaneously.
Signs of suspicion and evaluation
The body language expert pointed out several specific behaviours that revealed Jack's true feelings towards Ginge. "A prank ends in a real smile and shared joke: open expressions, laughter but what we see is signs of suspicion as he leans slightly back and frowns and there is no return smile," Dawson analysed.
She emphasised that the leaning back signalled withdrawal and evaluation, while the frozen posture and tight jaw indicated Jack perceived the situation as a status challenge rather than a physical threat. "He's showing all the signs of evaluating and assessing the situation with his body language," Dawson concluded.
Exaggerated reactions and hidden motives
Perhaps most revealing was Dawson's analysis of Jack's campfire conversation where he discussed his trust issues with Ginge. The expert highlighted his "very exaggerated surprise expression" as particularly telling. "This is not a real surprise," Dawson stated firmly. "Here, he is showing that he already had doubts about Ginge's sincerity."
Dawson explained that genuine surprise manifests differently physically. "Real surprise is quicker and less 'posed' on the face, he's not reacting to a joke; he's detecting motive and thinking about it," she said, describing the captured expression as "a great picture of a posed surprise" that lasted too long and didn't transition naturally.
The behavioural specialist hypothesised that Jack was attempting to conceal his suspicion by presenting it as surprise while simultaneously trying to influence his fellow campmates. "He's trying to hide his suspicion and dress it up as a surprise, but he's feeling mistrustful, and he's also trying to get the campmates on board," Dawson revealed, though she acknowledged uncertainty about his underlying motives.
Social dynamics at play
Dawson concluded with insights into the group psychology unfolding in the jungle camp. "In group psychology, if humour fails, the prankster loses social status and a 'quiet reactor' can gain social power by not rewarding the prank," she explained, suggesting that Jack's under-reaction might have been a strategic move in the camp's social hierarchy.
The body language expert indicated that viewers should watch future episodes closely to see how this dynamic between Jack Osbourne and Angry Ginge continues to evolve, with trust and suspicion likely playing significant roles in their ongoing jungle relationship.
