I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! viewers aren’t quite ready to say goodbye to one campmate who fell short of reaching the 2025 finale.

ITV audiencessaw this year’s famous contestants for the final time in the much-awaited I’m A Celebrity: Coming Out reunion show, which broadcast on Saturday (December 13).

Throughout the episode, fan favourite Ruby Wax was finally seen enjoying her long-awaited rendezvous with Kiosk Kev, whom she had playfully fancied during her jungle adventure.

Settling down for a drink with him, the presenter confessed to Kev: “Kev, you know that I’ve had feelings for you, ever since I saw the back of your neck throb in the ‘cockie car’. I went off you a little bit when you threw the cockroaches and ants on me,” reports the Daily Star.

Ruby went on: “But I decided to forgive you. I’m so nervous! I just want to know a few things about you. Do you water ski? Have you ever been to Siberia?”.

“And do you have STD? OK, I’ll take that as a no. I’m so nervous. Kev, can I touch you? [They then held hands].”

Ruby then proceeded to mouth ‘I love you’ to Kev, who responded with a cheeky wink.

Nevertheless, she had to let him down gently. The 72-year-old subsequently revealed that her spouse of more than three decades, Ed Bye, remained her true soulmate: “This may break your heart; I will not dump Ed. But I love you,” she informed Kev.

As this amusing sequence played out, supporters couldn’t help but highlighting that they were ‘robbed’ of sheer entertainment when Ruby became the fifth participant to leave the jungle.

One fan took to X, previously known as Twitter, to express their disappointment: “Ruby should have been in the final we were robbed! #imaceleb.”

Another viewer suggested that Ruby deserved her own television programme, stating: “I need Ruby to have her own TV show over here or something because she’s such a queen and I actually love her.”

A third fan praised the presenter, writing: “I’m A Celebrity Coming Out really highlighting how ridiculous Ruby Wax going out so early was. #ImACeleb.”

Meanwhile, a fourth lamented: “‘Have you ever been to Siberia and have you ever had an std’ nah I miss Ruby Wax on my screen what an icon #imaceleb #imacelebrity.”
