Lisa Riley will be the next star to face a Bushtucker trial on I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

The Emmerdale star will face the mine of misery challenge in Sunday night’s episode, after the public voted for her to take part.

Sunday’s episode will also see a second celebrity leave the jungle, following Alex Scott’s departure on Friday.

On Saturday night’s show, Irish podcaster and model Vogue Williams put herself forward to take part in a fiendish Bushtucker trial titled Wrecking Balls of Rage, which involved having to traverse a watery obstacle to collect stars from buckets full of slime, while also dodging a giant wrecking ball.

It may have been tricky, but at least Williams ended up having “the most amount of fun I’ve ever had in my adult life” , as well as picking up the maximum 11 stars, prompting her campmates to hail her as “superwoman”.

Later in the episode, EastEnders star Shona McGarty was crowned as the new camp leader, with Riley as her deputy. The pair quickly set about allocating new tasks to their fellow campmates, with Angryginge less than impressed at being placed on dunny duty and washing up duty.

I’m a Celebrity continues nightly on ITV and ITVX.

Jess Glynne reveals sad reason why she missed Alex Scott’s I’m A Celebrity exit

03:15 , Katie Rosseinsky

Wondered why Jess Glynne wasn’t able to greet her partner Alex Scott when she left the jungle on Friday night? There was actually a heartbreaking reason behind her no-show: her mum has been recovering from brain surgery.

“It’s been a really life-altering time for my family, and I’ve had to stay close to home,” she said.

“Alex would always want me to be where I’m needed most. I can’t wait to have her back by my side.”

Last night’s episode saw Aitch open up about his close relationship with his sister Gracie, who has Down syndrome.

The rapper, who is an advocate for Down syndrome awareness, revealed how Gracie identified with Ellie Goldstein, who made history as the first contestant with Down syndrome on Strictly Come Dancing.

And that's a wrap!

22:30 , Katie Rosseinsky

That’s all for tonight’s episode, so here’s a quick reminder of what went down...

Alex Scott bid a fond farewell to her fellow celebs after being the first contestant to be voted out.

Vogue put herself forward for the Bushtucker trial, and absolutely smashed it, picking up 11 out of 11 stars.

Shona was voted in as camp leader, with Lisa installed as her deputy.

Aitch and Ginge were less than thrilled to be on washing up duty.

And the public has voted for Lisa to take part in the mine of misery challenge, which will air during tomorrow’s episode

image is not available 22:01 , Katie Rosseinsky

The next eviction will take place tomorrow, and it’s now time to vote to save your favourite! Go, go go!

Who will take part in tomorrow's trial?

22:00 , Katie Rosseinsky

The public has spoken and Lisa will be facing the mine of misery in tomorrow’s episode...

“There’s gonna be rats in that mine,” she predicts.

I’d forgotten how many gratuitous shots of grim meat feature in this show...

Food time!

21:54 , Katie Rosseinsky

Thanks to Vogue’s top performance in the trial, the camp will be tucking in to... possum.

“It’s like a big rat,” Ginge posits. Erm, happy eating, I guess?

21:53 , Katie Rosseinsky

Why is Lisa’s “welcome dance” so reminiscent of the routine for “5, 6, 7, 8” by Steps, crossed with the “That’s Asda price” advert?

21:52 , Katie Rosseinsky

So nobody’s leaving tonight, but we’ll soon find out who is in line for that mines of misery challenge...

The new camp hierarchy

21:49 , Katie Rosseinsky

Here’s a quick rundown of who’s doing what after this shake-up in the camp’s power dynamics...

Jack and Kelly are on wood duty

Martin and Ginge have the joy of dunny duty

Ruby and Eddie are the new camp chefs

Ginge and Aitch are doing the washing up

And Tom and Vogue are on water duty

21:45 , Katie Rosseinsky

The fight of the century

'Lady Shona' is in charge of camp

21:44 , Katie Rosseinsky

And she’s backed up by Lisa as her deputy

21:43 , Katie Rosseinsky

WHO has been leaving the toilet seat up in camp?

21:42 , Katie Rosseinsky

Clearly the thespian chat has inspired the rest of the camp, as Shona is now teaching Eddie how to do stunts

21:41 , Katie Rosseinsky

I can attest Lisa’s Scouse accent is actually pretty decent...

image is not available 21:40 , Katie Rosseinsky

Lisa Riley is now giving a masterclass in Northern accents...

The mine of misery...

21:35 , Katie Rosseinsky

It’s nearly time for the next challenge, the mines of misery... and we only have eight minutes to vote for who we want to take part, so get moving...

21:33 , Katie Rosseinsky

Aitch has opened up about his close relationship with his sister Gracie, who has Down syndrome.

“Obviously everyone would say this about their siblings but forget that she’s my sister, she is the sickest person I’ve ever met!” he tells the camp, after revealing how much she loved watched model Ellie Goldstein on Strictly Come Dancing as the competition’s first competitor with Down syndrome.

Top effort from Vogue

21:30 , Katie Rosseinsky

“It wasn’t graceful, it wasn’t pretty, but I got it done.” A mantra for life from Vogue Williams. Get me it written on a wooden sign in a swirly font.

"She cannae see man!"

21:27 , Katie Rosseinsky

Nothing like a Byker Grove reference from the boys. Poor, precious PJ, forever in our hearts.

'She's gonna knock her teeth oot!'

21:24 , Katie Rosseinsky

Ant and Dec’s facial expressions alone are always NTA worthy... and this is why they are the kings of ITV...

It’s a rare non-gross Bushtucker trial for Vogue, although the gunk does have strong elements of Get Your Own Back...

Vogue tackles the Bushtucker trial

21:15 , Katie Rosseinsky

And so Vogue Williams is the first celeb to go up against tonight’s Bushtucker trial.

She’ll have to traverse a huge obstacle course, pick up stars from some grim-looking slime buckets and then make her way back across the course to deposit them in the collection... all without falling into the water.

It’s like Total Wipeout, but with buckets of gunk. Rather her than me...

21:11 , Katie Rosseinsky

The smile on Ant and Dec’s faces when they get to partake in some scatological humour...

A musical interlude

21:09 , Katie Rosseinsky

It’s the Dunny Divas...

Are Lisa and Ruby holding out for a novelty record deal once they’ve left the jungle? Look, it worked for Peter “Insania” Andre back in the day...

The moments after Alex's departure

21:08 , Katie Rosseinsky

Lisa Riley is “shocked and gutted” about Alex’s departure, while Martin Kemp reckons the group is “really gonna miss her”. Very sweet.

21:05 , Katie Rosseinsky

Alex Scott will be largely remembered for smuggling salt into the camp, Ant and Dec tell us. What a legacy.

21:04 , Katie Rosseinsky

Nothing like an overly grandiose recap package soundtracked by a slow, breathy cover of “Bittersweet Symphony”, is there? I’m almost certain that this very track got played on The Traitors a few weeks back... which says a lot about my TV viewing habits.

This is your two minute warning!

20:58 , Katie Rosseinsky

Good evening I’m a Celeb fans... I’ll be joining you for tonight’s episode. I’ve just been watching Strictly Come Dancing, so please forgive me if I start referring to Bushtucker Trials as “fab-u-lous” etc etc...

Not everyone agrees with last night’s elimination.

“Is this Injustice to Alex Scott?” asked one person on X/Twitter, while another wrote: “Wtf how is Alex Scott first eliminated?”

And there are plenty more where that came from...

One of the highlights from Alex Scott’s relatively brief stint in the jungle: her anecdote about “ghosting” Louis Theroux.

I’m a Celeb may be rapidly lurching towards its end, but at least reality TV fans have Traitors to look forward to. The hit BBC show and Claudia Winkleman’s fringe will be back on screens before you know it, with a rumoured start date as early as 1 January 2026.

While we’re on the subject, how do you think I’m a Celeb holds up after the phenomenal success of Celebrity Traitors last month? I certainly have a few thoughts...

Angryginge is the bookies' favourite to win

03:00 , Jacob Stolworthy

According to William Hill, Angryginge has replaced Aitch as the favourite to be crowned King of the Jungle next week.

Before last night’s episode, Aitch had been the clear favourite, but the rapper has seen his odds nearly double from 6/4 to 11/4 as he now sits second in the betting.

Roman Kemp celebrates Martin Kemp's safety

Ruby Wax needs a confidence boost

01:00 , Jacob Stolworthy

She was so certain she was gonna be the first to leave, so I’m hoping now that she wasn’t in the bottom two, she knows the public finds her funny.

Why did Alex leave?

00:02 , Jacob Stolworthy

In her own words. I think she got drowned out by bigger personalities.

I don’t think she’d have gone if the others hadn’t been immune.

Lot of shock around Alex's departure

Friday 28 November 2025 23:00 , Jacob Stolworthy

I personally felt it was a bit of a predictable outcome, but others disagree.

Will Kelly be next to go?

Friday 28 November 2025 22:34 , Jacob Stolworthy

Not necessarily. You might think Kelly’ll be the next out as she was in the bottom two with Alex, but don’t forget, only seven of them were up for the vote.

Eddie, Shona, Vogue, Lisa, and Tom were immune – and I have a feeling Eddie or Vogue’s names could be mentioned in the “it might be you” camp tomorrow night.

Alex Scott picks her winner

Friday 28 November 2025 22:19 , Jacob Stolworthy

Perhaps unsurprisingly, she wants her jungle bud Shona McGarty to win – but would like Aitch and Ginge in the final with her.

Friday 28 November 2025 22:18 , Jacob Stolworthy

Alex’s girlfriend, hitmaker Jess Glynne, was not there to greet her on the bridge. Turns out some things do beat a Jet2 holiday.

(Twitter tells me she had work engagements in London.)

Friday 28 November 2025 22:13 , Jacob Stolworthy

Alex Scott says she feels “free” to be out of the jungle and that she’s found the experience “incredible.

“I’m so glad I got to do this series with such a great bunch of campmates,” she adds.

Friday 28 November 2025 22:05 , Jacob Stolworthy

I think it’s gonna be between Alex Scott and – shock – Jack Osbourne.

OK, I’m being bold there; it’ll probably be between Alex and Kelly Brook.

Friday 28 November 2025 22:03 , Jacob Stolworthy

For those joining us to find out which celebrity is going (I see you), I hate to break it to you, but it’s just cut to an ad break. Reckon we’re about three mins away from finding out.

Friday 28 November 2025 22:02 , Jacob Stolworthy

It’s actually quite funny how people who are immune from the vote are baring their soul when *checks notes* they definitely are not leaving.

Emotions are running high

Friday 28 November 2025 22:00 , Jacob Stolworthy

It’s the last supper in camp and everyone’s getting a bit sad because one of them will be leaving the next morning. We’re about five minutes from finding out who that will be!

Friday 28 November 2025 21:55 , Jacob Stolworthy

Note how the camera didn’t stay on Kev while Eddie did his funny little victory boogie? Something tells me he broke character.

It's Kiosk Kev time

Friday 28 November 2025 21:53 , Jacob Stolworthy

But will he wink at Eddie and/or Vogue? It’s not looking likely...

Friday 28 November 2025 21:43 , Jacob Stolworthy

Not sure what’s happening here. It’s a challenge for Eddie and Vogue, but in the guise of a shameless tie-in promotion for Zootropolis 2.

Hell, here’s a shameless plug of our Zootropolis 2 review. And while we’re at it, why isn’t it called 2tropolis?

Zootropolis 2 is a fun and witty sequel that’s better than the original

Friday 28 November 2025 21:39 , Jacob Stolworthy

Not that I’ve ever watched Ginge stream before, but I’d consider doing so if he does a collab with Ruby.

Gangster grandad

Friday 28 November 2025 21:31 , Jacob Stolworthy

Kelly is probing Jack Osbourne on his gangster grandfather Don Arden, the famous record producer who – in his grandson’s own words – used to pull guns on people, firebomb buildings and dangle people over balconies. Sounds like a fun guy.

(This is Sharon Osbourne’s dad, if you were wondering.)

Who will be first to go?

Friday 28 November 2025 21:29 , Jacob Stolworthy

If we look at the odds, Alex Scott is in the firing line. But Kelly Brook has proved a bit of a controversial campmate this year.

If we do a process of elimination, Aitch, Ginge, Ruby Wax and Martin Kemp are definitely not going and Jack Osbourne is a bit of a name, which means they typically stay in longer. But he has rubbed Ginge fans up the wrong way this week.

People are assuming Jack is safe but I’m not so sure...

Friday 28 November 2025 21:21 , Jacob Stolworthy

I know this lot are getting paid a lot to be on the show, but they’re really being put through the wringer today. Mere hours after chugging disgusting cocktails on live TV, they have to climb into a cave full of creepy crawlies for another task. Make ‘em earn every penny!

Friday 28 November 2025 21:16 , Jacob Stolworthy

This really is the trio no one knew they needed.

Is the first star to leave actually a winner?

Friday 28 November 2025 21:15 , Jacob Stolworthy

This is a convincing argument:

Friday 28 November 2025 21:14 , Jacob Stolworthy

I’m glad the rivals twist is over now because having the camps split rids the show of the fun anecdotes and banter all the stars share, sitting around the fire. And judging by their response to this reunion, I think the stars agree too!

Fair enough

Friday 28 November 2025 21:11 , Jacob Stolworthy

They did indeed recap last night’s live trial – in a five-second clip showing Kelly retching and Vogue vomiting. Lovely.

image is not available Friday 28 November 2025 21:09 , Jacob Stolworthy

I can’t lie but I wish we’d jumped to after the live trial. This all feels oddly redundant.

Friday 28 November 2025 21:07 , Jacob Stolworthy

So we’re now seeing the buildup to what we already witnessed last night during the live trial. Hopefully we won’t have to sit through too much repeated footage...

It's the beginning of the end

Friday 28 November 2025 21:05 , Jacob Stolworthy

“The race to the finish has begun,” Dec says at the start of the episode. Exciting!
