I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! has found itself at the centre of a new “fix row” after viewers accused producers of making Monday night’s Bushtucker Trial “too easy” for Ruby Wax.
I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! viewers claimed the latest Bushtucker trial was ‘fixed’ in favour of Ruby Wax, 72, on Monday
The comedian undertook the Misfortune Tellers which saw her given a psychic prediction before having to free keys from boxes of bugs and snakes to bag meals for camp
Ruby, 72, took on the Misfortune Tellers challenge, which required her to listen to a fake psychic prediction before retrieving keys from boxes filled with bugs and snakes — earning five out of a possible ten stars.
But furious fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to insist the trial was “simplified,” “lightweight,” or even edited to make her performance look faster than it really was. Many argued that producers deliberately softened the task for the older star.
Viewers wrote:
“Easiest trial ever, clearly fixed for her.”
“Obviously they simplified a trial for Ruby — she’s 70, you freaks lol.”
“This trial is too easy, so rigged.”
“I’m looking in my crystal ball… heavy editing to make it look like she finished in time. Suspicious.”
Others defended the decision, pointing out that expecting a 70-year-old woman to complete the same tasks as younger contestants would be unrealistic:
“What do they expect her to do, swim with crocodiles blindfolded?”
Cooking Chaos: AngryGinge and Kelly Brook Clash — Again
But fans at home claimed the challenge had been ‘simplified’ for the older star and that bosses edited the show to secretly give her more time
Elsewhere in the episode, tensions boiled over in camp as AngryGinge clashed with Kelly Brook in yet another food-related disagreement.
The group had been eating their morning rice from the mugs in camp — creating double the washing-up — and Ginge, 24, made it very clear he was fed up.
“Can we please stop eating rice out of cups?” he asked, frustrated that he now had to wash ten mugs and ten containers.
Elsewhere in the show AngryGinge clashed with Kelly Brook as she waded into yet ANOTHER cooking-based row
Model Kelly, 46, pushed back, insisting that mugs made morning rice feel more like “breakfast” and added variety.
Vogue Williams also argued that everyone had the right to “a clean bowl in the morning, and a clean one in the afternoon, and a clean one in the evening.”
But Ginge was unmoved:
“So we’re doubling the washing-up because it feels a bit more like breakfast?”
The streaming star expressed he was upset about the camp eating out of cups in the morning
The row came just moments after the camp discovered rats living among them due to dishes left unwashed overnight — leaving a wooden spoon and cups crawling with ants.
Kelly had already warned Ginge:
“You can’t leave anything out.”
Burnt Rice, Ants, and Contraband — The Camp in Meltdown
This wasn’t the first time food and chores caused division in camp. Earlier in the morning, Eddie Kadi — now evicted — was cooking rice but left it unattended to take a shower.
Kelly immediately sensed trouble.
“I watched him do it,” she told the Bush Telegraph. “He put the rice on and went for a shower. I had a feeling it was going to be crispy.”
With burnt rice, ants in camp, chores piling up, and rising tempers, tensions were already high as I’m A Celeb entered its dramatic final week.
Challenge Editing Under Fire
Back to Ruby’s trial — the heart of the night’s controversy — fans continued to question the timing and the “convenience” of the final edit.
Viewers noted that the psychic-themed trial seemed unusually gentle compared to past challenges involving crocodiles, confined spaces, or extreme physical endurance.
Despite Ruby’s best efforts, the argument online grew rapidly, with many insisting the trial’s difficulty level didn’t match those assigned to younger contestants.
