After he became the second contestant to be voted off I’m A Celebrity on Sunday night, Eddie Kadi has lifted the lid of Ruby Wax‘s bizarre off-camera behaviour.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, the comedian, 42, revealed that Ruby, 72, has been stealing the campmates belongings while likening her both to an ‘Asbo grandmother’ and the Queen Mother.
He said: ‘Do you not know about this? Ruby’s been nicking stuff off other people, she doesn’t care. Her bag is full with other people’s things.
‘Vogue [Williams] has lost all her socks and it’s Ruby who has taken them. She showed me, she said: “I’ve got Vogue’s socks.”
‘Her bag is just full of everyone’s stuff. She took one of Vogue’s boots, I believe at one stage you could tell because of the way she was walking. I was like, “Ruby, on one of your feet, the boot is too long.”
‘She was like, “Just keep walking, your job is just to keep walking.”
‘So I think if anyone has brought in any more contraband, it might be her.’
It comes after a packet of butter was discovered in the camp last night, while the show’s hosts Ant and Dec suggested it might have come from the Big Breakfast last week, Eddie confirmed there was only olive oil served with the toast.
He continued: ‘Ruby can do whatever she wants. She’s taken socks. She started drinking from a water bottle that was Vogue’s and she said: “Oh dear, come on, she’ll be fine.”
‘But Ruby in there is, like, she is the Queen Mother. Like, Ruby can do whatever she wants, because we all want to look after her, but we’re all falling for the truth that she is a youth.
‘At the same time, she doesn’t want to be considered an elderly. She’s like, I’m with you guys.’
His comments come ahead of the comedian’s trial tonight, Misfortune Tellers trial, which has ‘every critter under the sun’ and she was forced to tackle her fear of snakes.
Eddie revealed Ruby tucks one trouser leg into a sock and likened her to an Asbo-grandmother who ‘You go shoplifting with and you’re like, “I don’t want this life no more” and she’s like, “shut up, you’re going back in”’.
Famed for her car crash interview with Donald Trump on Ruby Wax Interviews, the broadcaster has become close with the younger campmates AngryGinge and Tom Read Wilson.
In fact, on Monday’s episode of This Morning, Tom’s mum Juliette admitted that Tom set out to befriend Ruby as soon as he found out that she was taking part and couldn’t wait to meet her as a longtime fan.
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! continues Monday at 9pm on ITV1 and is available to stream on ITVX.
