Viewers of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! have been left furious and heartbroken after the shock elimination of national treasure Ruby Wax in the episode broadcast on Wednesday, 3rd December 2025.
An Unlikely Trio and a Devastating Exit
The TV legend became the fifth campmate to be evicted from the Australian jungle, a decision that has sparked widespread outrage among the show's loyal fanbase. During her time in camp, Wax had won over the nation with her uniquely sharp wit, straight-talking honesty, and mischievous sense of fun.
Her most memorable contribution was the formation of a deeply endearing and unlikely friendship with fellow contestants, rapper Aitch and social media star Angry Ginge. The bond between the trio became a central, beloved storyline of the series, with many viewers convinced they would all progress to the grand final together.
"I'm Absolutely Seething With Rage": Fan Backlash Erupts
The public reaction to her departure was immediate and intense. Fans took to social media platform X to express their disbelief and anger, feeling robbed of seeing Wax compete in the final challenges, including the iconic Celebrity Cyclone.
One enraged viewer posted: "WHAT THE HELLL??? RUBY WAS ROBBED OF A PLACE IN THE FINAL." Another echoed the sentiment, writing: "HOW THE HELL HAS RUBY BEEN SENT HOME I AM ABSOLUTELY SEETHING WITH RAGE SHE SHOULD BE A FINALIST." The consensus was clear: Wax's early exit was seen as a major injustice.
Wax's Final Words and a Prediction for the Crown
In her emotional exit interview with hosts Ant and Dec, Ruby Wax reflected on her surprising friendship. "I don't know. But we were the same, you know, so much in common," she said. "You wouldn't think so but I knew I'd be friends with them."
Before leaving, she made a confident prediction about the ultimate winner, stating she would put "money on it" that Angry Ginge would be crowned King of the Jungle, calling him a "deserving winner." This endorsement aligns with the latest betting odds, which now suggest Ginge and Aitch are the frontrunners to win the entire competition.
The elimination has undoubtedly shaken up the dynamics in camp and left a significant portion of the audience questioning the public vote. The nation now watches to see if Wax's prediction for her close friend will come true in the final days of the series.
