The eviction was another surprise, given that Lisa had been in the bottom two several times this week.
Previous evictees include Alex Scott, Eddie Kadi, Vogue Williams, and Ruby Wax, with Lisa Riley narrowly avoiding elimination thrice in a row.
Thursday night’s episode began with the campmates reacting to the news that 72-year-old Ruby Wax was the fifth contestant to be axed from the show.
Her departure left the star’s ‘gobsmacked’ with Ginge covering his eyes, seemingly in tears.
Ginge then commented: ‘Absolutely gutted. She was amazing, she kept me going in here through our conversations, our laughs, I already miss her. She was just amazing.’
Tom Reid Wilson told the camera: ‘I think the whole group, including Ruby, were absolutely gobsmacked.’
A shocked Jack Osbourne said: ‘Ruby, to me, was the winner of this thing.’
As they waved Ruby off across the bridge, Lisa, who had been sharing a room with the American star, burst into tears.
I’m A Celebrity returns tomorrow night at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
