I'm A Celebrity 2025: 'Selfish' Ruby Wax lets fans down after she eats all the Liquorice Allsorts
Ruby couldn't help herself...I’m A Celebrity star Ruby Wax has been accused of being ‘selfish’ for taking all the Liquorice Allsorts from the camp after they won a sweet reward. It comes after she managed to win over viewers after a rocky start to the series.
The star said her ‘inner animal’ took over and she had no choice but to take more than she was entitled too, leaving her other campmates hungry.
It became an issue in camp but it seems it hasn’t fazed the star.
So, what was all the fuss about and why did Ruby Wax grab the Liquorice Allsorts?
Stars take on The Jungle Nursery
Kelly, Eddie, Tom and Vogue came across The Jungle Nursery where they had to give clues to classic fairy tale and stories to the rest of the camp via Walkie Talkies. They say in a giant cot where cockroaches were falling on top of them – turning the nighttime routine into a nightmare!
Teddy bears fell from above with the name of fairy tale and the foursome had to utter a single word out loud each to give clues back to camp. The catch was there were banned words they had to avoid as well.
But the campmates did well, and they ended up getting the four bears they needed for their sweet treat.
Tom went off to collect the reward, which was a platter full of several bags of sweets. Liquorice Allsorts, Fruit Pastels, Fudge, Lemon Sherberts, Jelly Beans and other treats were included.
However, as soon as he arrived back at camp, everyone jumped in. Alex Scott aired her concerns on how it would be divided, but it fell on deaf ears.
It ended up that some celebrities ended up eating a lot of sweets, others only managed to taste a few.

Shona was onto Ruby’s plan about the sweet bag though.
She went over there to ask Ruby for one of the Liquorice Allsorts and said she ‘carefully’ handed just one over to her.
Ruby then made a remark to the rest of the camp before walking off.
When she was away, Alex found the tag of the sweet bag as she, Shona and Aitch spoke about her plot to have all of the Liquorice.
“It’s each man for himself now,” she declared to the Bush Telegraph. She smiled as she was seen enjoying another bite.
The following morning, it was brought up during the camp meeting.
“It was chaos getting those sweets… have you had one of them? Give me one!” Martin joked.
“It’s a small thing that could become a big one,” Alex chimed in. She said that “everyone was so hungry” and that it should have been handled differently.
They agreed to ‘divide it out’ equally next time, but Ruby wasn’t having any of it.
She later said: “My inner animal took over, I’ve got a mouth to feed which is mine!”

‘You’ve let me down’
Fans aren’t that impressed though, and others have been left divided over her sneaky plot.
One wrote: “I never realised Ruby Wax was so selfish. Her true colours are beginning to shine through in this episode.”
Another joked it was called ‘liquoricegate’ and a third brought up camp politics.
They said: “The double standards are crazy because Ginge and Aitch ‘might not be able to be trusted’ because they made a joke but Ruby can take from what little they have and run off to eat them herself and nobody says a thing.”
“Nah Ruby, you’ve let me down!” declared another.
Others found it hilarious, comparing her to Mr Bean and loved the drama it gave to the camp.
