TV bosses have announced a major rule change to I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! after Ruby Wax was eliminated from camp. The 72-year-old was appointed camp leader after EastEnders star Shona McGarty was forced to step down after being found with contraband – which was butter.
Shona claimed that she used it in the camp but that she was not held accountable. Although I’m not sure where it came from, I saw it and used it. After “Buttergate” was revealed, Shona had the option of quitting as team leader after losing two stars that other celebs had won in the Bushtucker Trials that day, which would have meant losing food. Then, Ruby was essentially chosen to lead the party.

Then, Ruby, the comedic and TV legend, said, “Things are about to change. No longer is there a Mrs. Nice Guy!” She stated in her demands that Shona be her footstool, rapper Aitch from Manchester, Angry Ginge, and rapper Aitch be her dancer.
This led to Jack Osbourne, son of late rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, to say: “Ruby as leader is pure insanity. The craziest dictatorship I think the world will ever know.” He then planned a ‘revolution’ along with Aitch and Ginge.
Ruby was eliminated on Wednesday night because she became the fifth celeb to be voted out of the jungle, despite being a favorite to win this year’s series.
However, TV bosses made the announcement that Ruby would no longer be a camp leader after she was eliminated. Campmates will instead be required to handle their own chores at camp.
With only three days until the 2025 winner is finally announced, how much work will actually be done remains to be seen. Martin Kemp, 64, and Spandau Ballet’s star, EastEnders, were the sixth famous face to leave the camp on Thursday night.
This means the remaining contestants are Jack, 40, Shona, 34, Aitch, 25, Angry Ginge, 24, Emmerdale legend Lisa Riley, 49, and Celebs Go Dating star Tom Read Wilson, 39. Who will win?
Continue reading the article.
When the final episode of The King or Queen of the Jungle premieres on December 7 and airs on ITV1, ITVX, and ITV1 will be the first to reveal the details. Right now, Angry Ginge is the favorite to win, with Aitch set to finish second. You’ll have to tune in on Sunday night to see if anything changes, though!

Due to the dangers posed by high temperatures, England manager Thomas Tuchel says he might ask his players to use the dressing room during World Cup games in the summer.
Tuchel told BBC Sport on the eve of the World Cup draw in Washington, DC, that if this would aid us in later matches, we should take it into account.
Nobody likes it because “I want the players to be on the field and feel the energy from the bench.”
“But at the Club World Cup, I witnessed players doing it. We can presumably avoid it. When they can be with us outside, it’s always better.
Experts warn that high temperatures, wildfires, and even hurricanes could affect teams, fans, and stadium workers because the event is taking place in the US, Canada, and Mexico in June and July 2026.
Ten of the 16 World Cup venues are “very high risk of experiencing extreme heat stress conditions,” according to a recent Pitches in Peril report compiled by pressure groups Football for the Future and Common Goal.
As matches took place in sweltering heat, players and managers complained about the Club World Cup’s scheduling from June and July.
Tuchel referred to the impact the heat will have, saying, “It’s an issue for high-level football. It will reduce the intensity of the matches.”
“Offensively and defensively, it will reduce the number of intense runs. Both the match and the strategy will change over time. In 45C, you can’t play the same football as you can in 21C.
We must “adapt and prepare the players as best as possible.” We are already adapting to the heat and cooling systems. We put a lot of effort into it, and we will be ready when the competition begins.
We must be prepared to face difficulties, Tuchel said, referring to scheduling issues and the necessity of traveling far between venues. There could be delays caused by the thunderstorms, but it will be hot, humid, and involved in a lot of traveling.
“I have the players I want,” I say.
Phil Foden and Jude Bellingham have been omitted from recent squads, but Tuchel claims he is aware of the rumors surrounding who will make England’s World Cup squad.
“I’m not sure if I know the starting XI, but I do know some American players I want to play with us.” Let’s take it step by step, he said, “I know there are some players who are very likely to start.”
I get to know the players, get a picture, and have opinions, and then choose them and stay with them because they won my trust. I’ve got a clear thought.
Tuchel acknowledged that he is more confident than he was when he assumed control of the tournament at the beginning of the year that England would win.
“We’ve gotten better and we’ve gotten closer. According to him, I needed the camps in September, October, and November, and the way the camps, the outcomes, and the group all came together.
“Since that time, our belief, along with the group, grew, and we will arrive to make something special happen.” Although we have the most ambitious goal, we can’t promise it.
No team wants to play us, they say.
If all four of France, Spain, or Argentina lose their respective groups, England will be in pot one for Friday’s draw.
After claiming all eight of their qualifiers, England finished with 22 goals and none of the others, according to Tuchel.
We’re “going to get closer,” We are, in my opinion, becoming more powerful. The emphasis is on the squad and the team spirit, he said, and the goal is to arrive in June with a strong squad.
Then, hoped, we will create the right amount of energy and momentum so that no one will want to compete against us at the end of the tournament.
Prior to the tournament, Tuchel has potential opponents in mind, and the Three Lions will play two friendly matches.
He said, “We need to wait until the draw, but we have a clear idea of the opponent we want to play.” Because there are friendly matches, it’s a challenging window.
“It’s preparation for the World Cup, but remember that there are two friendly games in hand before the World Cup.”
“Many players will likely compete in the Champions League, FA Cup semifinals, finals, Carabao Cup, Europa League, and Conference League,” said one player.
