“What you see is what you get”
Nov 25 2025
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! campmate Lisa Riley amuses Emmerdale co-stars with her lack of vanity too, it’s been revealed.
Throughout her time in the Australian jungle, the soap actress has endeared the watching nation. When she’s not providing a shoulder to cry on, or a thoughtful listening ear, Lisa entertains us all during carefree moments.
Her Emmerdale colleague Bradley Johnson joined Lorraine Kelly on her ITV talkshow today (November 25). They discussed everything from her friendship with Jack Osbourne to facial shaves.

I’m A Celebrity star Lisa Riley’s chin hairs on Emmerdale
Video-calling from his home in Manchester, Bradley (who plays Vinny Dingle in the soap) shared: “She’s doing amazing and obviously Lisa plays Mandy Dingle, this larger-than-life character and it’s so nice for people to see the side of Lisa where she is so caring and so loveable.”
“She really is,” concurred Lorraine, who singled out the I’m A Celebrity contestant’s non-existent vanity as a winning trait.
“What you see is what you get. When she was getting her face shaved!” she giggled. “Usually these things are things that us ladies do behind closed doors on our own, but the very fact is she doesn’t care!”
Bradley replied: “She doesn’t care. Literally, first thing in the morning in the makeup chair in Emmerdale… she’s like, ‘Can you see my hairs on my chin? Is the camera seeing it?’”
I’m A Celebrity viewers will be all too familiar with this behaviour. Just recently, she allowed her chin to be razored by Ruby Wax.

Bradley Johnson wants to see Lisa Riley do Bushtucker Trial
Later on in their conversation, Bradley told Lorraine that he’s desperate to see his friend do a Bushtucker Trial. Specifically, a trial that puts loads of rats on her face!
The odds are in his favour too, with the bookies backing Lisa to win the show this year. The longer she remains in camp, the more likely she is to do a horrific trial.
Shane Orton, spokesperson for Sportcasting, revealed this week: “The I’m A Celebrity betting market is taking shape, with Aitch, Angryginge, and Tom Read Wilson clearly leading the way. But the latest talking point is Lisa Riley, who has made a huge market shift.
“Once as big as 40/1, she is now 12/1 and the fourth favourite. Viewers are responding to her openness about past struggles and her genuine compassion for fellow campmates, making her a strong contender in the jungle.”
One thing that could stand in her way on the path to jungle glory, though, is that notable lack of trial experience. It’s even got fans kicking off on social media.
“I still can’t believe Lisa hasn’t done a trial yet. Can they fix this [bleep] NOW?” raged one X user.
