09:57, 17 Nov 2025
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here fans have been left divided over comedian Ruby Wax’s first day in camp, with some demanding her removal after her ‘rude’ behaviour towards Angry Ginge. The 72-year-old is one of the 10 stars taking part in this year’s ITV series, arriving in camp yesterday with the likes of TV presenter Alex Scott, Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley and reality star Jack Osbourne.
While the stars have been in camp for just a few hours, some viewers are already calling for Ruby to be kicked out of camp after accusing her of ‘disrespecting’ fellow campmate Angry Ginge, real name Morgan Burtwistle. The YouTube star is already a frontrunner to win the show, with the 24-year-old set to take part in the first Bushtucker Trial with Ruby tonight.
In last night’s premiere, fans watched as Ruby and Angry Ginge arrived together – however, some took exception to Ruby asking him to move out of her light and poking fun at his name. When asked by Alex Scott what they should call him, Angry Ginge said: “Ginge or Morgan.” Ruby replied: “We’ll never call you that.”

When asked what his surname is, Angry Ginge said: “Burtwistle,” with Ruby quipping: “Oh, I see why you changed it. It’s so not cool.” She later asked him to “get out of [her] way” in front of the cameras, joking: “Don’t ever in this show get in my way. Do you understand? Especially when there’s a light. You’re in my light again. I’ll just be moving you throughout the show, okay?”
While some couldn’t get enough of Ruby’s sense of humour, others weren’t impressed by her comments. “Good god Ruby might be the rudest celeb I’ve ever seen on this show #ImACeleb,” one wrote on X.
Another said: “Get rid of ruby right now don’t you DARE disrespect ginge like that #ImACeleb.” While a third shared a GIF of someone being chucked out of a house alongside the caption: “Ruby Wax once the public vote opens #ImACeleb.”

A fourth tweeted: “Already decided that I don’t want to watch Ruby on my TV for the next 3 weeks #ImACeleb.” Others took to TikTok to voice their dislike of Ruby, with one viewer writing: “Get Ruby Wax off im a celebrity NOW!!!” Another said: “She was so rude to him for no reason.”
However, other fans didn’t see the problem with Ruby’s quips. “All these idiot Gen Z’s not getting Ruby Wax’s humour. She’s a comedy legend. #ImACeleb,” one fan tweeted.

Another said: “Absolutely fascinated at people not realising ar Ruby is a force of sarcastic 80s/90s female comedy. #ImACeleb.” A third said: “Absolutely delighted that Ruby Wax has peeved half the nation already. A legend, a comedic icon, a diva. #ImACeleb.”
Ruby’s friend Kathy Lette appeared on Lorraine today to chat about Ruby on the show, revealing that she will be Queen of the Jungle. “Her only competition I think will be Jack [Osbourne] because he’s so capable and calm but she’ll take him out,” she said.
I’m A Celebrity fans are also convinced that they spotted another feud brewing after last night’s episode, with rapper Aitch giving Angry Ginge a talking to in the camp.
After Angry Ginge suggested that he could put out the campfire by blowing on it, Aitch told him: “Can I have a word?” He then told him: “You’re being stupid.”
One fan wrote: “Oh dear, Aitch not off to a good start.” Another said: “Aitch taking Ginge to tell him off already hahahahaah my fave duo.”
