Ruby Wax Becomes Early Standout on I’m a Celebrity With Trial Success and Talk‑Show Tales

Her campfire stories are reviving interest in 1990s interviews, drawing both praise and criticism.

Overview

  • Wax and Angry Ginge completed the first Bushtucker trial, The Divey, eating every round to secure 10 stars for camp.
  • In camp, she revisited her 1998 meeting with OJ Simpson — including a banana ‘stabbing’ gag and an April Fools’ phone call — leading outlets to replay archive clips.
  • She recalled a brief, fraught 1999 encounter with Donald Trump, describing it as a disastrous five‑minute interview.
  • Audience response remains divided, with criticism of early remarks to Angry Ginge alongside calls to revive her Ruby Wax Meets chat show.
  • Regional reports suggest a roughly £95,000 appearance fee, which is unverified, as newer moments like choosing a photo of her cats and drawing out candid camp chats win over some viewers.
