The jungle camp on I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! has undergone a significant power shift, declaring itself a 'democracy' following the exit of campmate Ruby Wax. The changes, which came into effect on Friday 5 December 2025, see the abolition of appointed leadership roles.
Leadership Roles Abolished in Camp Shake-Up
Following Ruby Wax's departure from the ITV reality show, the remaining celebrities decided to overhaul their camp structure. Lisa Riley, who had been serving as the deputy leader, voluntarily stepped down from her position. This move led to the collective decision to scrap the formal leadership roles entirely.
Instead of having a single leader or deputy, the campmates have now agreed that all decisions regarding daily chores and camp life will be made as a group. This new system, which they have dubbed a 'democracy', marks a stark contrast to the hierarchy that was in place just days ago.
Campmates React to Wax's Departure
The exit of comedian and mental health campaigner Ruby Wax has left a noticeable mark on the camp. Fellow contestant Angryginge openly expressed his disappointment at her departure. He revealed that he believed Wax had the potential to go all the way and win the entire series, stating she was a strong contender for the title.
In a lighter moment, Angryginge also shared a personal revelation during a camp conversation about global pop icon Taylor Swift. He confessed to being a self-professed 'Swiftie', aligning himself with the singer's massive fanbase.
Bushtucker Trial Success for Kemp and Wilson
Meanwhile, Martin Kemp and Tom Read Wilson took on the fearsome 'Lethal Libraries' Bushtucker Trial. The duo faced a series of creepy-crawly challenges set within a spooky library theme. Their efforts proved successful, as they managed to win five out of a possible seven stars for the camp, securing valuable meals for their fellow celebrities.
This victory provided a much-needed morale boost as the group adapts to its new, more collaborative way of life in the Australian jungle. The camp's experiment in direct democracy will be tested in the coming days as they face further trials and tribulations together.
