I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! viewers were left in stitches after Ruby Wax shared some odd advice to avoid intimacy.
After emerging as this year’s most polarising campmate, Ruby retained her jungle rap during a wholesome chat with the other women at the camp.
As some viewers likened their conversation to an episode of Loose Women, the campmates opened up on their struggles with body image and how their sex drive changed with menopause.
Leading the chat was Emmerdale star Lisa Riley, with Ruby joining in when model Kelly Brook suggested that she’s spoken with women on menopause.
“They said you forget you even liked sex,” Kelly said. “You forget it was even a thing that you liked.”

As Ruby agreed, saying it was “liberating,” Lisa asked the comedian: “What do you do when the man gets funky?”
“Tell him to f**k off… or you just pretend you have herpes or something,” Ruby replied as the others erupted in laughter. “I’ve had herpes for ten years.”
Fans were equally amused by her quip, with one person suggesting it may be time we had a “Ruby’s advice corner” (via Twitter/X).
Other commentators suggested Ruby should be given the crown as she’s proved herself to be queen of the Aussie jungle.
“just give Ruby the crown right now,” a second viewer wrote, while someone else said she is “hilarious”.
“Absolutely loving Ruby, but I always have found her great,” a fourth fan wrote on Instagram. “I’ve seen her recent live tour & she’s just fantastic.”

Another person commented: “I never used to think much of Ruby but watching her on here she’s a force and very funny x”.
As Lisa celebrated the “really solid connection” and the “beautiful bond” that the I’m a Celeb women have been able to create, viewers agreed and deemed their honesty “amazing”.
“What a wonderful bunch of women,” one fan added. “Their honesty is truly amazing.”
“Ladies club… awesome how they are bonding,” someone else offered, while another viewer called the gang “potentially one of the best girl groups in a long time”.
