I’m A Celebrity campmate Ruby Wax shows her true colours as ex-show star brands her ‘one to watch’
Could Ruby go all the way?I’m A Celebrity star Ruby Wax has caught the eye of former jungle campmate Scarlette Douglas.
A Place in the Sun star Scarlette, who starred on the show back in 2022, has weighed in on this year’s crop of celebs, citing Ruby as one to watch…

In an exclusive chat with our sister site, Entertainment Daily, on behalf of Sky Vegas, Scarlette was asked about which campmate has surprised her, in a good or bad way.
“Ruby Wax really surprised me most on the launch show. When she was at the house as the first one to arrive, you could see she was anxious and nervous. But the minute they had to do the Cockroach Van challenge, she was laser-focused.
“Nothing bothered her. She wasn’t squeamish or screaming, she was just going for it.”
Scarlette then added that Ruby has showed her true colours, and a hidden strength we didn’t know she had. “I thought she’d be nervous and maybe not that game, but she absolutely went for it. I liked that from Ruby, and I want to keep an eye on her.”
Ruby’s excellent performance during first Bushtucker Trial
Scarlette was right to keep an eye on Ruby, as the American-born star smashed the first Bushtucker Trial last night (Monday, November 17).
Alongside Angry Ginge, Ruby first tucked into a witchetty grub topped with a cricket crouton.
She also scoffed a cow’s teat with a garnish of duck tongue coulis, three vomit fruits, with a vomit fruit jus, and a pig’s testicle with a fermented seaweed foam infusion.
To finish, Ruby ate a bull’s penis with a sparkler on top.
Alongside the YouTube star, Ruby helped bag 10 stars, meaning the camp got a decent meal!
Maybe Scarlette was right, and Ruby is really one to watch!
Fans divided by Ruby’s behaviour
Whilst Scarlette may be a big fan of Ruby, the star didn’t exactly endear herself to viewers during the launch show on Sunday (November 16).
Ruby jokingly told Angry Ginge several times to move out of the way and out of her light before the first challenge.
Some viewers failed to pick up on the funny side of Ruby’s comments and took to X to slam her.
“Not Ruby being rude to Ginge, we will not stand for it,” one viewer tweeted.
“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,” another wrote.
“Ruby is coming across really rude,” a third said.
