I'm A Celebrity viewers divided over Ruby Wax as she is accused of 'rude' behaviour
Not everyone is sold on the comedian!I’m A Celebrity’s 2025 series kicked off tonight (November 16), and viewers already want Ruby Wax to be voted out first.
Legendary comedian and actress Ruby is among this year’s star-studded line-up, which also includes Martin Kemp, Kelly Brook and Alex Scott, to name a few.
In usual I’m A Celebrity fashion, the show began with the cast parachuting out of helicopters. However, it didn’t take long for Ruby to rub viewers the wrong way…

I’m A Celebrity star Ruby Wax ‘coming across really rude’
When Ruby met some of her other campmates — Lisa Riley, Alex Scott, Jack Osbourne and Angry Ginge — fans noticed Ruby kept pointing out that Angry Ginge, who is much taller than her, kept standing in her way.
While the 72-year-old comic may have been joking around, fans were not pleased with how he was treated.
“Honestly, I couldn’t tell if Ruby was serious about telling ginge to move out of the way, but either way, she is gonna be a problem I can already tell. She’s arrogant and rude so far imo,” one user wrote on X.
“Not Ruby being rude to Ginge, we will not stand for it,” another person shared.
“Ruby is coming across really rude,” a third remarked.
Meanwhile, many are eager for Ruby to be the first celeb voted off the show.
“So, is everyone in agreement to vote Ruby off first,” one said.
“Get Ruby out already,” another shared.
“When can I vote Ruby Wax off?” a third asked.
Another echoed: “Can we vote Ruby out already?”

‘Give her a chance people!’
That said, Ruby already has many supporters.
“Ruby Wax is going to be fun,” one viewer insisted.
“I’m saddened that people don’t get Ruby’s sense of humour yet…. Give her a chance people,” another shared.
“Ruby Wax is my queen of the jungle,” a third expressed.
The public voted for this year’s first Bushtucker Trial and Angry Ginge and Ruby were chosen.
