Ruby Wax, who is starring in I’m a Celebrity, was left rattled after OJ Simpson pretended to stab her while mimicking a scene from a famous horror movie and told her he killed his late wife

She is currently dealing with the creepy crawlies in the Australian jungle for I’m a Celebrity but comedian and presenter Ruby Wax is already accustomed to coping with her fair share of stomach-churning scenarios.

The 72-year-old hosted her own show, Ruby Wax Meets, for four years back in the nineties. She interviewed some of the biggest and most controversial stars in the entertainment world at the time, including Madonna, Donald Trump and OJ Simpson.

It was during her chats with NFL star Simpson, who died last year at the age of 76, that she endured some unsettling and sick moments in which he pretended to knife her and called her up to say he’d killed his wife.

Ruby, who is also an actress and mental health campaigner with a masters degree in cognitive therapy, reflected on some of her most infamous interviews in the 2021 BBC show When Ruby Wax Met. Admitting she had never watched footage from them, she sat down for the three part series to look back on her own psychology at the time and those of her most iconic interviewees.

One shocking clip which resurfaced after OJ died in April 2024, shows Ruby discussing his bizarre actions that she admitted “genuinely surprised” her. In the 1998 meeting Ruby, who was renowned for her direct style of questioning, outright asked OJ if he had killed his ex-wife Nicole Brown and her friend Ron Goldman . “Did you do it?” she asked while staring down at him. Looking at Ruby and directly into the camera he smiled and said, “No I didn’t, nope. Did not do it.”

In the BBC’s later programme, Ruby who described OJ as “the most complicated character on earth” is seen watching the film back and commenting on it. “Afterwards I do a piece to camera saying, ‘ I’ve been fixed up and I don’t know who my date is gonna be. ‘ And we put him in the hallway and then I open the door and it would be him”, she remembers.

“But when he was out there, all the trays were out there and he was looking for a knife to fool me when the door was opened. He grabbed a banana, but there was no knife.

Then, in the clip, OJ makes stabbish movements while simultaneously making high pitched sounds, which sound like the scene from Alfred Hitchcock’s horror film Psycho, which is about a shower murder. She continues, “OJ called me up on April 1st, in London, and said “I killed her,” and then went on April 1st.”

Following Simpson’s acquittal of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman’s murder in 1994, the original interview was held. Ruby admitted she thought she could persuade OJ to acknowledge the killings, calling it a “psychological minefield.” I believed I could catch him. I anticipated that he would say, “Yes, he did it,” and that I would put him in jail. She described her own thought processes at the time as “public defender.”

Kelly Brook is one of the famous campmates in the 2025 series of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! but it looks like she has already put fans off. Last night’s episode saw her admit to an embarrassing moment involving Madonna.

Kelly seems to be settling into camp well because she has already shared intimate stories with her new friends. When the actress began to share the awkward story with AngryGinge and Ruby Wax,

The model – who dated Hollywood star Jason Statham for seven years – explained that she had been invited to Madonna’s house for dinner where they were served a macrobiotic meal. This consisted of rice and beans, which is similar to what the campmates are given on the ITV show.

Kelly quickly explained why she wouldn’t be invited back to the pop star’s home, but the embarrassment didn’t stop there. The main diet in use at the time was a macrobiotic diet, including rice and beans, according to Kelly. similar to what we currently eat here.

I was not at all familiar with that. So, we were given the opportunity to attend Gwyneth Paltrow’s macrobiotic dinner party at Madonna’s house, right?

“So, I’ve been on this diet,” I said. We just had a macrobiotic meal in a room where she, the Brits, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Madonna were sitting.

And Madonna sits next to me while we’re talking, and my stomach started to hurt so badly that I had to get up. And as I let out the most unpleasant fart, I’m thinking, “Oh no, oh no.” It climbed up immediately. She resembled Ergh exactly. And it was horrendous because she literally ate it. “

When asked if Madonna recognized the humorous side of the interaction, Kelly replied, “She kind of like looked away and was like hah. then abruptly disappeared.

Viewers of the show quickly took to social media to share their views on Kelly’s story. One said: “Kelly Brook telling national tv that she made Madonna chew on her farts was not something I saw on my 2025 bingo card.”

While a second joke read, “Kelly Brook giving out information that the FBI couldn’t possibly get out of me. “Kelly Brook is JARRING,” added another.

A fourth commentator called it “illogical” for Kelly Brook to admit she was farting all night at Madonna’s house during a dinner party.

The campmates have already been forming friendships and bonding since the most recent episode of I’m A Celeb premiered on Sunday night.

One celebrity will be declared the king or queen of the jungle at the conclusion of the three-week program. In the interim, competitors will compete in Bushtucker trials to get food for the evening.

A “depressing” marriage update about her husband, Ben Cyzer, has been revealed by Sara Cox. Just one year after her breakup from her first husband, the broadcaster and advertising executive Ben had a romantic relationship.

Ben and Renee have daughters named Isaac and Renee, and the BBC Radio 2 presenter wed them in 2013. She married DJ Jon Carter in a different country, and she has a second child named Lola.

However, Sara, 50, has now revealed a nocturnal battle she faces with Ben, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Speaking on The Teen Commandments podcast, Sara explained that Ben’s snoring often forces her to retreat to a separate bedroom.

She said, “This is my issue with Ben with me, because if I wake up in the night, it’s annoying just to watch him breathe.” I’m not talking about daytime noises; I’m talking about just minor noises.

You’ll be aware of this when a wildlife documentary features a picture of an animal that’s on high alert for a predator. In the middle of the night, I feel like I have the heaving because the noise is so great, it just gets worse.

“I believe there is a little anxiety there. In my 20s, I can recall that if I awoke at like half one, I probably wouldn’t have been in bed at half one, but in my 20s, I would be like, “Oh, I’ve got a lot of time to sleep, amazing.” I go to the age of 50 and say, “F**k, it’s three, I’m not going to sleep, I’m never going to get back to sleep.”

I must use that 20s energy to think, “I have a lot of time to sleep,” so I do.

When asked how she handled her partner’s nighttime awakening, Sara Cox responded, “I nudge him, he’s really patient, he’s great about it, and then we just keep sleeping in separate rooms, which is a little depressing.

Sara recently completed the BBC Children in Need Great Northern Marathon. She ran a remarkable 135 miles from Kielder Forest, Scotland’s border, to Pudsey in Yorkshire, raising more than £10 million along the way.

The programme “Saran Cox: Every Step of the Way for Children in Need,” which will be broadcast on BBC One starting at 8pm tonight (November 19), details her difficult journey. It’s just the hardest thing I’ve ever done, Sara said to the BBC after the challenge was over.
