I’m a Celebrity fans were left gobsmacked this evening after Ruby Wax snogged Dec Donnelly in a chaotic game of snog, marry, or avoid on ITV2’s Unpacked.
After pushing everything off Joel Dommett’s desk and choosing to ‘avoid’ him, Ruby made a beeline for presenter Dec to give him his snog, leaving him and the general public with their jaws on the floor.
The 2025 campmates broke out in fits of laughter as Dec looked at the camera for help, before the show cut to a break.
Viewers were quick to comment on the crazy event on the fan-favourite after show.
One X user, @ammersummerly, said: ‘I certainly wasn’t expecting Ruby to neck on with Dec hahahaha class.’
The kiss had viewers in tears, @pascalcore_ on X exclaimed: ‘‘RUBY BEING A MENACE AND THEN KISSING DEC IM CRYING.’
‘Thank you for the best moment, did not think I’d see Ruby Wax snog Dec.’ @emmapink18 on X added.
The unexpected smooch followed fan favourite youtuber Angry Ginge being crowned king of the jungle 2025, with campmates Tom Read Wilson ending up runner up and Eastender’s Shona McGarty falling in third place.
It was a tense final with viewers sharing love for every finalist and the show receiving 13 million votes – the highest number of votes the show has seen in a decade.
The final saw the three remaining campmates competing in trials to earn their chosen meals.
Celebs Go Dating receptionist Tom was given an eating challenge that involved him ingesting a pig’s vagina, while YouTube star Morgan Burtwistle, known professionally as Angryginge, had mealworms and snakes slither around his face while he attempted to collect stars from a box.
Tonight’s show also saw former EastEnders actress Shona McGarty was strapped down inside a tightly confined box and had eight minutes to remove four stars using her mouth.
Wilson, Burtwistle and McGarty were revealed to be the finalists on the ITV1 reality competition show after rapper Aitch became the ninth campmate to leave the Australian jungle following a public vote on Saturday.
At the beginning of the pisode, McGarty, 34, said: ‘Coming in here has been pretty life changing for me… I am proud of myself. I am very proud of myself.’
Wilson added: ‘I will leave a completely different person… it is transformative, like nothing else, like nothing else I’ve ever known.’
Burtwistle said: ‘I’m absolutely ecstatic that I’ve made it to the final of the show.’
For her Bushtucker Trial, in order to win the campmates’ dream starters for their final jungle banquet, McGarty was tasked with completing the Rat Race challenge and successfully removed stars using her mouth while she was joined by rats, cockroaches, crickets and mealworms inside a box.
In a separate challenge, titled the Bushtucker Bonanza, Wilson, 39, took a seat at a dining table and ate a fermented duck egg and scorpion, camel’s brain, pig’s vagina and a huntsman spider, winning him three rounds of main courses.
He described the camel’s brain as ‘foie gras that’s gone bad’ and said that eating the pig’s vagina was ‘not ghastly’.
Last to win stars for the camp was Burtwistle, who secured desserts after he took on Helmets Of Hell, which involved him putting his head into four helmets filled with critters while he tried to find and unscrew stars placed inside four different boxes.
He was joined by mealworms, crickets, cockroaches, snakes and spiders in the helmet and toads, lizards, scorpions and rats in the box.
For her meal, McGarty chose to have a Diet Coke, prawns pil pil, boiled bacon and cabbage and a chocolate fudge cake.
Wilson, who also opted for a fudge cake for dessert, opted for a coupe of champagne, smoked salmon and venison with red wine jus, broad beans and dauphinoise potatoes.
Meanwhile, Burtwistle, 24, ordered a Coke, double cheeseburger and chips, pepperoni pizza, chicken tenders and a carrot cake for dessert, which left fans giggling at the banquet sat before Ginge.
The internet star said: ’Do you know what makes this even better? The fact we’ve earned it? We’ve suffered trial after trial, challenge after challenge.’
