The eliminations continued in the latest episode of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! , with two stars now booted out of the jungle.

Comedian Eddie Kadi became the second star to be voted off the reality show on Sunday (30 November), two days after sports presenter Alex Scott was eliminated.

The episode also saw tensions rise in the camp, with Ruby Wax voted into the position of camp leader after a contraband scandal saw Shona McGarty step down from the role.

Wax’s new status ruffled feathers almost immediately, however, with both Vogue Williams and Kelly Brook speculating that the power had “gone to her head”. Soon after, Aitch and AngryGinge both teased mutiny, declaring that they wanted an end to what they considered “embarrassing” rituals and widespread chores.

Lisa Riley also won stars in a challenge that saw her tunnel through a mine slathered in fish guts and crawling with rats and spiders, while a second challenge resulted in Jack Osbourne becoming the only campmate unable to receive a letter from home.

Key Points

  • Eddie Kadi eliminated!

  • Lisa wades through a pitch-black mine!
  • Alex Scott leaves Australia to go straight home after exit

Eddie's finest hour

12:45 , Jacob Stolworthy

I’ll remember Eddie Kadi for his enthusiasm – even in the face of challenging Bushtucker trials.

Here’s a look back at one such trial:

Lisa Riley took on latest trial

12:15 , Jacob Stolworthy

No, this is not a still from The Descent, but Lisa Riley doing a Bushtucker trial.

It was the first one she’s been voted to do – good to see her tick that one off the list – and after wading through an underground mine in complete darkness, she ended up with a respectable eight stars out of 11.

As you can tell from below, this wasn’t one for the claustrophobes.

What time is I'm a Celeb on tonight?

11:45 , Jacob Stolworthy

The next episode will air at 9pm, ending at 10.20pm.

Expect the next celebrity elimination to be announced at approximately 10pm.

ICYMI: Vogue catches two campmates talking about her

11:15 , Jacob Stolworthy

Awkwardness reigned in last night’s episode when Ruby was left unimpressed with Vogue’s fire-starting skills and shared her views with Ginge – within earshot of Vogue. “She just destroyed it – she doesn’t know what she’s doing,” Ruby said.

After Vogue called them out (“Are you two bitching about me?”), she showed there were no hard feelings, quipping: “Ruby, I expected more from you. Ginge, this is exactly what I expected from you.”

Tensions flared in last night's episode

10:45 , Jacob Stolworthy

Based on last night’s episode, Ruby Wax is currently public enemy number one in the jungle.

Since Ruby succeeded Shona McGarty in the role of camp leader, she demanded Shona be her footstool and selected Aitch as her entertainer and AngryGinge as her dancer.

Her campmates didn’t see the funny side: Kelly Brook declared her “power-mad”, Jack Osbourne dubbed her “pure insanity”, and both Aitch and AngryGinge have plotted a mutiny against her.

From where I’m sitting, she’s clearly just having a laugh?

The saddest moment from last night's show

10:15 , Jacob Stolworthy

Jack Osbourne was the only celeb to have his letter from home shredded in a blender of goo. It can’t have been easy, but there were no tears. In fact, Jack took it supremely well, telling the Bush telegraph: “With this show, you kinda have to hang up emotion.” Fair play, Mr Osbourne.

Eddie Kadi picks his winner

09:45 , Jacob Stolworthy

Eddie Kadi was the second star to be eliminated from the show – and if he had his way, Jack Osbourne would win the show.

The pair struck up a camaraderie in the jungle, and Eddie even felt comfortable enough to speak to Jack about the death of his dad, Ozzy.

He told Ant and Dec: "It's like the first day of school when you're not sure who to be friends with. He knows what he's doing. He taught me how to start a fire, from that moment... he knows everything."

Recap on last night's drama

09:15 , Jacob Stolworthy

Shona McGarty’s time as camp leader came to an unceremonious end due to *checks notes* butter.

Producers caught the former EastEnders star using the mysteriously sourced food item in cooking. According to McGarty, she found the butter stuffed at the bottom of a food trunk and used it without thinking. (I’d have done the same thing!)

Her punishment was that she’d step down as leader. However, the mystery remains: who smuggled the butter into camp?

They’re blaming Alex Scott, but let’s be honest, the freshly eliminated star is an easy scapegoat.

Eddie Kadi speaks out

08:00 , Adam White

Last night’s episode saw Eddie Kadi become the second person eliminated from I’m a Celeb, which wasn’t too much of a shock – definitely a nice guy, but also one that slipped under the radar a little, right?

Speaking to Ant and Dec following his elimination, Kadi said that appearing in the show gave him greater appreciation for his grandparents.

Jack Osbourne takes it on the chin

07:00 , Adam White

Fair play to him, Jack Osbourne really took it on the chin when he was told that his letter from home had been minced in a blender full of goo.

During last night’s episode, the reality star became the only campmate without a letter, thanks to three of his fellow cast members’ incorrect answer to a trivia question.

Salaries!

06:00 , Adam White

Curious how much this year’s cast are earning? An apparent leak of their salaries in November suggested a very unexpected contestant is earning the most. Can you guess who it might be? (You won’t be able to)

Ant, Dec and Kelly: what's going on there?

05:00 , Adam White

One of the bigger stories in week one of this series was the rumoured feud between Ant and Dec and contestant Kelly Brook, which apparently sourced from their (brief) time together on Britain’s Got Talent.

While neither party has confirmed that an actual feud existed, there was a funny moment last week in which Ant “scolded” Dec over the apparent tension...

Is Ruby the new jungle villain?

03:00 , Adam White

Yes, Ruby Wax can be abrasive, and her humour falls just on the right side of dry, but many in the jungle seem not to have received the memo: based on last night’s episode, Ruby is public enemy number one in the jungle.

Since Ruby became camp leader, Kelly has declared her “power-mad”, Jack dubbed her “pure insanity”, and both Aitch and AngryGinge have plotted a mutiny against her.

Doesn’t it seem a bit much?

Is romance in the air?

02:00 , Adam White

There hasn’t been a full-on Katie/Peter romance on this year’s I’m a Celeb (as of writing, anyway), but there have definitely been gestures made between Aitch and Shona McGarty.

Notice their flirty pillow fights the other day?

Jack's shady family history

01:00 , Adam White

One of the most interesting surprises so far from this year’s contestants is Jack’s way with a slightly wacky anecdote. First there was his reveal that late dad Ozzy despised Christmas, and now he’s revealed that he descends from a music manager who used to pull guns on people and dangle artists out of windows until they signed contracts with him. Yikes.

Alex's speedy departure

00:00 , Adam White

While we’re still buzzing from tonight’s elimination, one of the bigger I’m a Celeb mysteries over the weekend involved Alex Scott’s slightly abrupt departure from Australia following Friday night’s results show.

Scott quickly cleared up why she’d hopped on the nearest flight, however, and it all had to do with her pop star girlfriend Jess Glynne.

When the camp got letters from home

Sunday 30 November 2025 23:04 , Adam White

So earlier in tonight’s episode, pre-Eddie’s departure, campmates received letters from home. There were, to little surprise, an abundance of tears as everyone bonded after a day of strife.

Moment of truth...

Sunday 30 November 2025 22:34 , Adam White

And here’s the moment in which Eddie was eliminated...

More from Eddie...

Sunday 30 November 2025 22:34 , Adam White

“I want Jack to win,” Eddie reveals in his exit interview.

image is not available Sunday 30 November 2025 22:29 , Adam White

“I feel like I’ve been in there a year,” Eddie continues. “It’s literally changed my life. Coming from Congo, where we have a massive rainforest, I feel like I’ve had a taste of what my grandparents experienced, and I realise now why they were so humble. They were joyful regardless of any situation.”

“Even when you’ve got no food, it goes to show that we are enough as human people.”

And the second contestant to be eliminated is...

Sunday 30 November 2025 22:23 , Adam White

EDDIE KADI!

This is a bit of a shock, right?

Poor Jack...

Sunday 30 November 2025 22:13 , Adam White

And here’s Jack receiving the news that he won’t be getting his letter...

Coming up... tonight's elimination!

Sunday 30 November 2025 22:12 , Adam White

So while we’re all eager to find out who’s getting booted off, we’ve cut back to camp for some letter-reading.

“It was like this huge wave of love soaked into everybody,” Martin says, after watching everyone burst into tears after hearing their correspondences. Sans Jack, of course.

Tension resurfaces at dinner

Sunday 30 November 2025 22:05 , Adam White

So it’s dinner time, and Ruby is itching for the food that’s being prepared for the camp.

“We have one very impatient customer,” Eddie says.

“Ruby?” Shona guesses, correctly.

“A hungry mouth is a rude mouth,” Eddie adds.

Ruby is walking a fine line at the minute, it seems.

No letter from home for Jack

Sunday 30 November 2025 22:00 , Adam White

Jack is the only campmate whose letter has been shredded so far, with Eddie, Vogue and Martin unable to correctly guess how old Jack was at the very start of his reality show The Osbournes.

“It’s all good,” Jack says upon the trio’s return to camp.

“In this experience, you kind of have to hang up emotion,” Jack explains. “Just suck it up and ride it.”

Sunday 30 November 2025 21:49 , Adam White

So this is a bit of a snooze. Aitch, Kelly and Ruby are tasked with rescuing letters from home from being shredded in blenders.

To rescue the letters, the trio need to answer questions like: “How many likes does AngryGinge have on TikTok?”

Revolution!

Sunday 30 November 2025 21:45 , Adam White

I’m not sure if the men in camp have a humour bypass or if Ruby’s very dry wit is just going over their heads, but Aitch and Ginge are furious about Ruby as camp leader. “We are making a stand versus them”, Ginge says.

Aitch agreed: “I’ve got a lot of things on my chest that need to come off.”

Jack said: “Viva la revolution!”

They’ve also seemingly grabbed Martin and Vogue now too, and confront Lisa to demand they ditch the “welcome dances” and asking to abandon the chore procedure.

Vogue and Kelly aren’t so sure about that one.

This feels... how do I put this? Manufactured? It’s giving “producers asking blokes to kick off”.

Lisa admits that she’s “concerned” about Ruby’s tyrannical tirade. But also this seems all a little silly, right?

image is not available

Queen Ruby!

Sunday 30 November 2025 21:37 , Adam White

And after a vote, Ruby is now the new camp leader.

People are a little worried.

“Yes it will go to her head!” joked Vogue.

“She just turned into a power-mad person!” Kelly gasps.

“Ruby as leader, pure insanity,” Jack adds. “The craziest dictatorship I think the world will ever know.”

With that, Ruby declares that “things are about to change -- no more Mrs Nice Guy!” . She then demanded that Shona be her footstool, Aitch her entertainer and Ginge her dancer.

Scandal!

Sunday 30 November 2025 21:34 , Adam White

So... let’s talk Shona! She’s strolled back into camp to announce that she’s been caught on camera cooking with contraband in the form of butter!

Shona says she found the butter in a food trunk, and the campers suggest that it may have been eliminated Alex who was responsible.

Anyway, Shona also announces that she’s stepped down, less than 24 hours into her reign, from her role as camp leader.

Well that's over

Sunday 30 November 2025 21:27 , Adam White

I’m not particularly well-versed in I’m a Celebrity (can you tell? I wonder if you can tell), but surely Lisa’s Mine of Misery ranks up there among the grimmest of this show.

After dealing with spiders, on top of worms, rats and guts, Lisa managed to grab eight diamonds of a possible 11.

Returning to camp, she was met by cheers.

Perhaps television was a mistake

Sunday 30 November 2025 21:25 , Adam White

You’re welcome, viewers.

Presenting: Lisa Riley wading through fish guts.

More mine, more misery

Sunday 30 November 2025 21:24 , Adam White

Ugh, this show. So Lisa’s very charmingly going through this pitch-black mine, hilariously picking up cameras and set equipment instead of actual stars. And good god the creatures... rats, meal worms, apparently “warm” cockroaches.

“Who needs a workout when you’ve got this?” she jokes.

She’s a good sport, this Lisa Riley.

And we’re back, with Lisa about to embark on something called The Mine of Misery. These names!

This one involves Lisa picking flowers, lying in a hammock, catching some rays... No, of course not. Here she’s been shoved into a pitch-black diamond mine to try and feel her way to find 11 stars in 11 minutes.

Oh, and she’ll be pelted with creepy crawlies in there, too. Naturally!

Eddie: Origins

Sunday 30 November 2025 21:16 , Adam White

A cute moment just then in which Eddie spoke about his break into comedy. After making in-roads into stand-up, he performed at the BET Awards, which marked the very first time his dad ever saw him be funny on stage. It was also the night that he was nominated for the Best Newcomer award, which he ended up winning.

After he performed his set, he approached his dad to ask what he thought, to which his dad replied: “I was too busy counting the money. £20, £20, £20, there’s 400 people here, times £20, son, this is a great career, you have my blessing.”

Testy morning...

Sunday 30 November 2025 21:11 , Adam White

It’s the morning after Alex’s elimination, and Lisa and Shona have settled in nicely to their new roles as camp leaders

Not as cosy... newfound chef Eddie, who’s been tasked with making breakfast, but puts his rice on while going for a shower. Cue it being burnt and not particularly tasty.

There’s also a weird moment where Ruby and Ginge whisper that Vogue is tending to the fire badly. “She just destroyed it, she doesn’t know what she’s doing,” Ruby said.

Vogue, overhearing, replied: “Are you two bitching about me? I expected more from you Ruby, I expected exactly this from you Ginge,” she joked (I think?)

Recap from last night

Sunday 30 November 2025 19:30 , 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

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.

Vogue's time to shine

Sunday 30 November 2025 18:00 , Jacob Stolworthy

Vomiting on live TV aside, Vogue Williams has been mostly in the background since her late arrival in camp but she came into her own with a rollicking Bushtucker trial performance in last nights episode. Viewers are in agreement.

The new camp hierarchy

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

Shona is the new camp leader

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

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

Sunday 30 November 2025 17:00 , 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.”

Preview: Lisa Riley's Bushtucker trial

Sunday 30 November 2025 16:00 , Jacob Stolworthy

Lisa Riley will take on her first Bushtucker trial in tonight’s episode – and you can discover what exactly that looks like below:

One week to go

Sunday 30 November 2025 15:30 , Jacob Stolworthy

There’s just one week to go until the finale of I’m a Celeb 2025 and I’d go so far as to say this may be a more sedate series than usual, but it’s all the better for it.

I’m a Celeb made headlines for all the wrong reasons in recent years with its stunt casting of controversial contestants, which overshadowed the entertainment of it all. This year feels like a return to normal; I hope the producers have learnt their lesson.

Will Kelly be next to go?

Sunday 30 November 2025 15:00 , 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.

Why did Alex leave?

Sunday 30 November 2025 14:30 , 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.

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

Angryginge is the bookies' favourite to win

Sunday 30 November 2025 13:00 , 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.

Alex Scott has already left Australia

Sunday 30 November 2025 12:33 , Jacob Stolworthy

It’s unusual for contestants to leave Australia before the show comes to an end, mainly because of the reunion they have at the wrap party. But Alex Scott decided to head back to London immediately after leaving the jungle.

Here’s why:

Vogue tackles the Bushtucker trial

Saturday 29 November 2025 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...

Saturday 29 November 2025 04:00 , Annabel Nugent

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...
