American-British comedian Ruby Wax, aged 72, has delighted fans by stripping down to a chic black swimsuit for a refreshing dip in the sea, sharing her feelings of being 'so alive' and 'grateful' on social media. The actress and television personality showcased her ageless physique in the stylish one-piece, flashing a beaming smile that radiated pure joy.
Post-Jungle Joy and Gratitude
In her Instagram caption, Ruby Wax wrote emphatically, 'Feeling so alive, so humble, so grateful,' offering a glimpse into her carefree vacation following her recent stint as a contestant on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! The comedian was the fifth celebrity to be voted out of the jungle in December, losing a public vote-off against fellow campmate Lisa Riley.
During her time on the show, Ruby made headlines for her memorable moments, including a playful 'snog' with I'm A Celeb host Declan Donnelly live on air during a spin-off episode called Unpacked, which sent fans into a frenzy. Her provocative and hilariously abrasive style captivated audiences, leaving a lasting impression.
Upcoming Tour Announcement
Meanwhile, Ruby Wax has announced an exciting upcoming tour where fans can experience her incomparable comedic talent firsthand. She will be joined by her lifelong friend and A-list producer Clive Tulloh for a series of shows that promise to be unforgettable.
The duo will review clips from the extraordinary television programs they have worked on together, share scandalous behind-the-scenes stories that have never been heard before, and take audiences on a hilarious ride through their careers. The tour is set to kick off in Henley-on-Thames on March 25, with the spring leg concluding in Bristol on July 7.
Ruby's Enthusiastic Message
In a playful statement, Ruby said, 'It’s Ruby here - yes, broadcasting live from the jungle, where the Wi-Fi is powered by mosquitoes and my only beauty routine is "don’t get eaten." But fear not! The moment I escape; I’m heading straight back on the road and can't wait to see you all there.'
Longstanding Marriage and Personal Life
On a personal note, Ruby Wax has been married to her husband, Edward Richard Morrison Bye, for 33 years. Describing their relationship as 'unconventional,' Ruby has previously credited spending significant time apart as a key factor in their successful marriage, insisting it is 'healthy' for couples to have their own space.
The outspoken Chicago-born comedian tied the knot with the quietly-spoken, British and public school-educated Ed in 1988, after meeting in 1985 while she was filming Girls On Top with Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders. Together, they have welcomed three children: Max, 37, Madeleine, 35, and Marina, 32.
Insights into Her Marriage
Reflecting on her marriage in The Sydney Morning Herald back in April, Ruby penned, 'When I met Ed Bye in 1988, I wasn’t expecting to find my happy-ever-after. I asked Ed if he wanted to marry me, told him I had an opening in my calendar, and gave him a date. I said many men were after me, but I was lying.' She has reiterated that one of the secrets to their enduring relationship is the time they spend apart, emphasizing that it can be 'healthy for relationships to have your own space.'
