In the steamy depths of the Australian jungle, where hunger can turn even the most composed celebrities into ravenous commanders, Ruby Wax unleashed her inner diva on a fateful night in the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! camp. The 72-year-old former chat show host, battling a serious case of “hangry” vibes, took her role as camp leader to hilarious—and chaotic—new heights, blasting orders over the tannoy and jolting her sleepy campmates awake in a desperate quest for… beans?

The drama unfolded against a backdrop of laid-back daytime chit-chat, where the stars swapped stories about their paths to fame under the relentless jungle sun. Rap sensation Aitch kicked things off, recounting his meteoric rise powered by the magic of social media. “I made my own YouTube channel, put a freestyle on it just to build some subscribers, but it just happened to blow up rapidly,” he shared with wide-eyed enthusiasm. “Next minute, Stormzy’s commenting on it, all these rappers that I’d grown up listening to.” It was a classic tale of viral success, proving how a single post can catapult an artist from obscurity to stardom.
Fellow campmate Martin chimed in, emphasizing that while social media is a game-changer, nothing beats the thrill of landing a number-one hit. Reflecting on his own glory days, he beamed: “It was the biggest moment in my life when I was a kid.” The conversation flowed like a smooth tracklist, blending nostalgia with ambition, as the group bonded over the highs and lows of the music biz.
But up in the lofty treehouse, the vibe was anything but chill. Perched with her pals Ginge and Lisa, Ruby’s stomach started rumbling louder than the jungle wildlife. As the evening dragged on and dinner seemed nowhere in sight, she decided enough was enough. Grabbing her leader privileges like a mic at a stand-up gig, Ruby fired up the tannoy and let loose: “Are the beans ready? Attention. Are the beans ready? Why is everybody sleeping? Get up!”
Down below, Tom tried to play peacemaker, shouting back: “Darling, they’re on, but they weren’t soaked until late this morning.” Unfazed and fueled by her growing impatience, Ruby shot back, “They should be ready by now.” Ginge, ever the cheeky instigator, whispered encouragement: “You’re not doing a good job.” That was all the nudge Ruby needed. With Ginge and Lisa stifling giggles beside her, she doubled down: “Less chatting, more cooking. Come on!”
No one escaped Ruby’s wrath—not even the slumbering supermodel Kelly Brook. In a move that had the camp—and viewers at home—gasping, Ruby bellowed: “Kelly! Cook some beans, somebody!” The abrupt wake-up call turned the peaceful night into a frenzy, as bleary-eyed celebs stirred and grumbled.
Fans watching from their cozy living rooms were left in stitches and shock, flooding social media with reactions. One viewer summed it up perfectly: “Wow Ruby, she’s being snappy.” Indeed, Ruby’s hangry outburst has become the talk of the series, proving that in the jungle, hunger doesn’t just strike—it commands an entire uprising. Will the beans ever boil over, or will Ruby’s reign of terror continue? Stay tuned for more wild antics from the I’m A Celeb crew!
