I’m A Celebrity just eliminated one of its best contestants, leaving viewers convinced that Angry Ginge, Aitch, and another celeb will be in the final three.

Last night (December 3), Ruby Wax left the show after losing the public vote. She was in the bottom two with Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley (even though Martin Kemp was the favourite to go).

While not competing in many Bushtucker Trials (she was often exempt), Wax had been a firm fan favourite, particularly on account of her friendships with Ginge and Tom Read Wilson.

It’s fair to say that her elimination shocked audiences. Now that she’s gone, I’m A Celebrity viewers think they’ve sussed who will be the final three celebs.

I’m A Celebrity fans predict final 3 after Ruby Wax’s shock elimination

According to I’m A Celebrity fans, Aitch, Angry Ginge, and Shona McGarty will be this year’s finalists.

Viewers have widely speculated that Aitch or Ginge will be crowned king of the jungle. Not only have they taken part in several trials, but they’re longtime best friends, and their banter has been one of the most entertaining parts of the series.

Fans have also been obsessing over a possible romance between Aitch and McGarty, so it’s unlikely the EastEnders actress will be going home before the final.

“Gotta be the final 3 now,” one user tweeted, sharing pictures of Aitch, Ginge, and McGarty. “Ruby Wax going is great news. Means we can have the [top three] of Aitch, Shona and Ginge,” another wrote.

“If it’s not Aitch, Ginge, Tom and either Shona or Lisa in the final (as much as I love Martin, he hasn’t really done much) then I don’t want it,” a third posted.

“If the final 4 isn’t Tom, Ginge, Shona and Aitch then it’s clearly rigged,” a fourth speculated.

Viewers slam ‘awful’ Ruby Wax elimination

Wax’s elimination has been widely criticised on social media. Several viewers have argued she was more entertaining than other campmates – particularly Kemp.

“How the sweet [bleep] did Ruby Wax not make it into the final.. but people with the personalities of wet socks are still in?” one user posted.

“The British public are idiots. Ruby Wax = endlessly entertaining. Martin Kemp = endlessly dull,” a second wrote.

Kemp has been a quiet presence in the jungle. He’s managed to survive each elimination, but he’s yet to take part in a solo trial.

As explained by Vogue Williams (who left last week) in an Instagram Q&A, “Martin did want to do the trials, but Martin was exempt from some.”

Nevertheless, viewers still believe he should have been eliminated instead. “In what world are people voting Martin Kemp over Ruby Wax,” one user wrote on X.

Another viewer even described it as “probably the worst elimination in I’m A Celeb history”.
