I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! star Martin Kemp has opened up about his 37-year marriage to wife Shirlie.

In the latest episode, the former Spandau Ballet star, who also appeared in EastEnders, said: “Shirlie is everything for me. Everything I do in my life, I do it for her.”

He also opened up about their pregnancy struggles due to endometriosis, but said they conceived on the night of their wedding. The couple have two children: presenter son Roman and daughter, Harley Moon.

Elsewhere, Jack Osbourne spoke about the “fresh” grief he’s experiencing four months after the death of his dad, Ozzy, and said he was feeling “delicate”. However, he told his fellow contestants he was “really happy” to be on the show.

YouTuber Angryginge took on the latest Bushtucker trial and also became assistant camp leader working alongside rapper Aitch, who will take on tonight’s trial.

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

Jack also let his campmates know that he’s feeling “delicate” four months on from Ozzy’s death after he broke down in tears last night:

One of the most bizarre moments of the night was when Kelly forgot her own birthday. Such a sagittarius.

01:00 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Let’s take a look back at Ginge’s hilarious trial:

00:00 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Ruby had the camp in fits of laughter after she demonstrated the sex position that Martin Kemp was advised to do with his wife by his in-laws when they were struggling to conceive: the wheelbarrow.

She also gave Angry Ginge her pants for good luck before his trial and flirted with Tom this weekend. 72 years old and still full of flirtation.

Sunday 23 November 2025 23:00 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

There appeared to have been some contraband revealed in camp tonight as it looked like Alex Scott was adding salt into the rice at dinner.

Punishment could be coming.

Sunday 23 November 2025 22:03 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

And that’s it for another night! Next ep is on at 9pm tomorrow night but we’ll be posting updates on here until then.

I’ll leave you with this:

And it’s alligator feet for dinner as Ginge’s 10 stars are revealed.

Not much to celebrate. The claws are still attached.

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:55 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Everyone’s celebrating Kelly’s 46th birthday by singing around a plant decorated with a tampon instead of a cake.

Bleak but heartwarming scenes.

Ruby is clapping and saying “thank you, thank you” after being placed on dunny duty. This woman has an OBE.

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:49 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

This has all gone a bit Game of Thrones. Celebs are calling Aitch “Your Majesty”.

Aitch and Ginge reassign chores

  • Tom and Vogue on washing up
  • Shona and Kelly on water
  • Eddie and Martin on wood
  • Ruby and Lisa on the dunny
Sunday 23 November 2025 21:45 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Aitch has been made camp leader and has chosen Ginge as his deputy. This is going to be absolute chaos.

“He’s a bit of an ugly man, but he’s my deputy,” he said. “Unbelievable scenes, stay locked in because it’s about to go sideways.”

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:44 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Martin is opening up about his wife’s experience of endometriosis.

The pair struggled to conceive due to the condition but it finally happened for them on their wedding night.

Here’s some more information on the chronically painful condition, which effects 1.5million women in the UK.

What is endometriosis and how can you spot symptoms?

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:41 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Aw, Martin is talking about his wife Shirlie. They’ve been together for 40 years. Or, at least, he thinks so.

They married in St Lucia and the ceremony lasted five minutes. “If I looked into it, I’d probably find we’re not married,” he said.

His secret to a happy marriage? Friendship, says Martin. “Everything I do in my life, I do it for her.” Adorable man.

Votes now open!

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:35 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Eesh the next trial looks terrifying. “Night night sleep tight” involves LOADS of spiders. Another one for Ginge?

Votes only open for eight minutes. Go, go, go.

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:33 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Ginge has just lied to camp and told them he’s got five stars. He’s not revealing the 10 until dinner. They love the drama this lot.

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:32 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Aitch is DJing for camp using the phone box buttons to beep out a tune.

Cabin fever has definitely set in. Club jungle, he’s calling it.

image is not available Sunday 23 November 2025 21:30 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

He’s got 10 stars out of 12. Not bad at all.

“It’s just so tiring on your tongue,” I bet.

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:28 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Oh no. Spiders are up now and he’s agoraphobic.

He just called Ant and/or Dec a “d*******”. They had that coming

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:26 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Now he’s in a box full of rats. Shivering from my sofa.

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:26 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

He keeps smashing himself in the face with stars. Ant and Dec are, of course, creasing.

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:24 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

The tongue action is getting a bit much, tbh.

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:24 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Next up is toads. Now he thinks he’s in Plymouth. Wrong again, the theme of this is meant to be Miami beach.

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:23 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Ginge now has his head in a box filled with snakes. Ant and Dec asked him which country he thought the theme of the box was meant to be.

His answer? Bradford.

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:18 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Louder for the people in the back!

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:15 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Ginge is taking on the Terror-flying tours and he’s just put his head in a box with a load of lizards. He’s now using his tongue to twist off the stars.

I can feel the memes brewing already.

Oh my God Ruby has just given Ginge her underwear for luck.

“The lucky underpants. I always wear red when I wanna, you know, pull off something.” Lucky him. I guess?...

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:12 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Ummmm Kelly just forgot it was her own birthday.

She thought it was tomorrow but Jack corrected her.

“I honestly thought it was tomorrow! Jack even had to figure out when my birthday was, is there nothing this guy can’t do?! How am I gonna navigate life without him?” she asked.

Sort of makes Joey Essex look like Einstein.

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:11 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Ginge told Jack: “Men cry too”. Sweet.

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:09 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Jack is opening up about being on the show after the death of his dad Ozzy after last night’s emotional episode.

“Yesterday was a bit of a delicate day for me…I was doing ok, and then I realised it was the four months since my dad died. Had a good cry with Eddie…but ultimately I’m happy, I’m really happy I’m here,” he said. Bless.

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:08 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Vogue, Tom, Eddie and Ruby are now all doing a morning work out.

“Let’s hump for 30… it’s so good for your bum.,” was Ruby’s contribution.

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:07 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

Vogue just said being on this show is like being on a retreat. If I’d paid money to go through this hell, I’d want my money back.

Sunday 23 November 2025 21:05 , Lydia Spencer-Elliott

We’re back for another night and it’s time for a new reign in camp. Aitch and Angry Ginge are now camp leaders. But who will they put on dunny duty?

Who will be the next camp leaders?

With Tom Read Wilson and Vogue Williams booted from their positions, the camp is looking for two new brave souls to steer them through the jungle.

From the looks of social media, most people will be casting their votes for Aitch and Ruby Wax. The camp could do a lot worse than this duo!

Did anyone else tear up listening to Vogue Williams say she feels ugly?

Earlier this weekend, the model and TV presenter revealed how she felt about her looks in a conversation with fellow campmates Lisa Riley and Ruby Wax.

“Do you know what the worst thing about feeling so ugly in here is? Like, everyone else is so good looking. It’s so annoying,” she said.

A stunned Ruby Wax replied: “You’re the prettiest person I've seen in my life.”

Kelly Brooks' ex-housekeeper says star is 'being portrayed really wrong'

Sunday 23 November 2025 03:00 , Annabel Nugent

As the so-called feud between Jack and Kelly goes on, with Osbourne’s sister going so far as to call Kelly a “bully” – one person has stepped in to defend the TV star.

Gemma Daniels, who worked for nine years at Kelly’s Kent farmhouse, posted a video on TikTok in which she said: “In the nine years that I’ve known Kelly Brook, I’ve never felt the need to stick up for her more than I do now.”

Daniels told her followers that Kelly had always treated her staff with warm and respect.

“She was a really lovely down-to-earth woman,” she said. “I’m just a girl from a council estate and she trusted me and my team to come into the most amazing house.

“Even when she wasn’t there a lot, I went every week to look after it, and she used to throw the cleaners and the gardeners a party every Christmas.”

Daniels went on to say that Kelly would buy all of her staff “beautiful, thoughtful Christmas presents”.

Alex was not impressed to discover the others, in their fry-up excitement, had seemingly forgotten to soak the rice and beans. They’d also left some rice out, which attracted a load of ants.

“I’m gonna have a word,” she says – and does exactly this when they return to camp..

Kelly and Martin assured her they did soak the rice, but said it must have absorbed the water.

“Well, then, why was it a mess?” Alex asked in the Bush Telegraph. “Are they lying to us? What happened to make camp just like a bomb had hit it?”

Vogue, despite retrieving all of her six stars, has to stay lying in the tent with those snakes until the trial officially ends. Talk about adding insult to injury.

Sidenote: But Tom’s voice is the star of this year’s series, right?

Saturday 22 November 2025 21:27 , Jacob Stolworthy

In the face of adversity – AKA several snakes slithering around his body – Tom is remaining incredibly calm. And polite! Shona and Alex keep giving him the keys meant for Vogue, which isn’t their fault as it’s luck of the draw, but it would wind me up no end.

Tonight's trial

Saturday 22 November 2025 21:20 , Jacob Stolworthy

Alex and Shona are joined in the latest trial by new arrivals Vogue and Tom.

They have to lie down in two tents, each with six stars on offer, held in place by padlocks. Ant and Dec tell them they won’t be alone, to which Vogue quips: “Is there a masseuse in there?”

Alex and Shona’s part of the trial? To search for the keys to unlock the padlocks – in a pool of offal and fish guts. Lovely.

Ozzy Osbourne: Grinch of Darkness

One sweet moment in last night’s episode involved Jack Osbourne talking about his late dad Ozzy, and how much of a scrooge he was!

Is there romance in the air?

Saturday 22 November 2025 17:00 , Annabel Nugent

While Jack and Kelly seem at each other’s throats, elsewhere in the camp Aitch confessed to having a “bit of a soft spot for Shona, me”.

They’ve already got a stamp of approval from Vogue and Tom who said “they would make a gorgeous pair” with their matching “bright, blue eyes”.

Watch this:

Saturday 22 November 2025 16:00 , Annabel Nugent

It’s only week one, but already the anecdotes are flying in.

During Wednesday’s episode, Jack Osbourne lifted the lid on one of his father Ozzy’s most memorable moments: when the Prince of Darkness bit the heads off two live doves during a record label meeting in Los Angeles.

Osbourne explained that his mother Sharon told the rockstar to bring the doves to the meeting as a sign he was a “peaceful guy”.

However, an intoxicated Osbourne sat on the knee of an executive and proceeded to bite the head off two of the birds. “It was pandemonium,” he said.
