I'm A Celebrity latest: ITV's double standards called out as warning fired at Ruby Wax over 'liquorice-gate'
It's like strawberry-gate all over again!Ruby Wax scoffed an entire bag of liquorice to herself on I’m A Celebrity last night (November 25) and viewers have now warned her the (really quite literal) fallout won’t be pleasant.
Last night, Ruby caused drama as she scoffed down a whole bag of Liquorice Allsorts which had been won as a sweet treat for camp. According to the star, her “inner animal took over” and she simply couldn’t stop herself.
But now fans have issued a health warning to the 72-year-old comic, pointing out a nasty side effect she might suffer as a result…
‘Jokes on Ruby. Liquorice is a laxative’
“Jokes on Ruby. Liquorice is a laxative #ImACeleb,” somebody pointed out on X.
A second person agreed: “That liquorice is gonna go straight thru her.”
“If liquorice had the same effect on Ruby as it does on me, she’ll regret going off with the whole bag,” another viewer tweeted, followed up by a poo emoji.
A fourth person likewise joked: “Beware the dunny emptiers, Ruby ate all the liquorice.”
Meanwhile, someone else urged: “Don’t be too hard on Ruby – she might need that liquorice if she’s constipated… And she will be on dunny duty so it will return its favour!” they chuckled.
I’m A Celeb viewers call out double standards
Ruby’s liquorice heist gave many fans flashbacks of another iconic moment in I’m A Celebrity history: Strawberry-gate.
Back in 2017, campmates Amir Khan and Iain Lee came under fire for eating their Dingo Dollar prize of strawberries and cream all by themselves, then pretending they had failed their challenge. Unable to stand the guilt, Iain later confessed and the pair were forced to miss dinner as a punishment. However, no such punishment has been handed out to Ruby. And viewers are wondering why the double standards…
“Giving @amirkingkhan with the strawberries and cream vibe. But seems nobody gave a donkeys with Ruby just going off with it,” said one.
“So why when Amir Khan did it, he got punished?” another person also asked. “Double standards,” declared another.
However, another viewer insisted that what Iain and Amir did “was worse” because they lied about it, and Ruby “took them openly”.
So will Ruby be punished tonight? Or will her numerous trips to the dunny be enough to placate viewers? Tune in at 9pm to find out!
