Viewers of I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! were left exasperated on Monday's episode, claiming Jack Osbourne 'gave paracetamol a headache' with his intense reaction to fellow campmate AngryGinge. The dramatic scenes unfolded after the online content creator, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, was appointed deputy leader by his best friend Aitch, a move that shifted the camp's dynamic and ruffled feathers.
Trust Crisis Erupts Over Trial Deception
The core conflict emerged from Sunday's Bushtucker Trial, where 24-year-old Ginge had initially led the camp to believe he underperformed, only for it to be revealed he'd actually scored an impressive ten stars. This tactical deception didn't sit well with 40-year-old Jack Osbourne, who confronted Ginge about it playing on his mind. "I know this isn't intentional Ginge but it got in my head about how well you played saying you only got five stars," Osbourne stated. "I was like - can I trust Ginge? As I was going to bed, tired and whatever. I was like: 'Has he been lying to me the whole time?' It legitimately did play with me. Well played but also you played with me."
Viewers Spot 'Celebrity Traitors' Confusion
Amused fans quickly took to social media platform X to voice their opinions, with many joking that Jack Osbourne seemed to have mistaken the ITV jungle show for the BBC's deception-based game Celebrity Traitors. One viewer quipped: 'Why does Jack think he's on Celebrity Traitors?', while another pointed out the apparent hypocrisy: 'So, Jack can't trust Ginge because he lied about getting 10 stars, but when he done his trial he put on a masterpiece performance throwing his backpack in the bushes.. but got 12 stars then??' The online commentary highlighted a perceived double standard in Osbourne's reaction to Ginge's game tactics.
Camp Hierarchy Creates Further Tension
The newly established leadership structure caused additional friction within camp. Veteran comedian Ruby Wax, 72, openly expressed her discomfort with the new power dynamic. "We were all on an even plane. [It] has thrown me a little bit," she told Aitch and Ginge, questioning whether they were now playing "king and deputy, and we're the low people?" Ruby later admitted in the Bush Telegraph that she felt the camp had become divided, a sentiment that underscored the growing unease among the celebrities.
The emotional toll became particularly evident when AngryGinge broke down in tears after what he described as a "down day." The content creator, who had been looking at a photo of his family, shared his struggle in the Bush Telegraph: "It's a bit of a s**t day really, I just feel as though I'm missing home, missing speaking to my family, food and drink as well is a massive part but they say you have up days and down days... I'm holding it in. I suppose it's just one of my down days."
Weather Woes and Contraband Confessions
The camp's challenges extended beyond interpersonal conflicts as thunder and lightning struck, forcing the celebrities to scramble to protect their belongings from the downpour. While Aitch and Ginge were fortunate to have their treehouse tent, other campmates weren't as lucky, with Kelly complaining that "Everything is soaked and filthy!" and Jack repeatedly emphasising how "soaked" everything had become.
The drama continued when the camp received a laminate instead of their expected meal, revealing that contraband had been discovered and they would lose one star from their dinner as punishment. This prompted an amnesty, during which former EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, 34, confessed to smuggling an air freshener for the dunny, while ex-Lioness Alex Scott, 41, admitted to bringing salt and pepper sachets that she'd been secretly adding to meals. Both women surrendered their items to prevent further punishment for the camp.
The episode concluded with the campmates seeking refuge under the sheltered lodge, singing 'Ain't No Sunshine' to match the rainy mood, as the complex web of trust issues, emotional struggles, and camp dynamics continued to unfold in the Australian jungle.
