I’m A Celebrity’s Eddie Kadi claimed Ruby Wax has been secretly stealing other campmates belongings. The comedian was the latest contestant to be eliminated from TV’s toughest entertainment challenge last night.
The 42-year-old has reflected on his time in the Australian camp in a new interview with our sister site, Mirror Online. Eddie has been dishing the dirt on his campmates and revealed Ruby has been taking items such as socks, boots and water bottles from her fellow celebrities.
He said: “Vogue [Williams] has lost all her socks and Ruby has taken them. She showed me, she’s like, ‘I got her socks. So what? I like it’. She took Vogue’s boots, I believe, at one stage. You could tell because of the way she was walking.
“I was like, ‘Ruby, clearly one of your boots is too long. She’s like, ‘Just keep walking. Your job is to just keep walking’. So I think it might be her because she’s got so much in her bags. She’s going to leave with everything. She’s leaving with the jungle.”
He added: “She doesn’t care….Ruby can do whatever she wants.” Eddie was speaking after he was the second contestant to leave the jungle and said he noticed the 72-year-old with Vogue’s water bottle.

He admits: “We were by the tree house having a conversation. She started drinking from a water bottle – it said ‘Vogue’ “I said, ‘Ruby, that’s Vogue’s bottle’. She said, ‘Oh, dear. Oh, well, come on. She’ll be fine. She won’t die’.
“But Ruby in there is like the Queen Mother. Ruby can do whatever she wants because we all want to look after her. But we’re all falling for the trick 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’.” Eddie also suspects that Ruby may have smuggled in some contraband.
He added: “Yeah, but I wasn’t brave enough to say in front of her face, clearly. I’m trying to survive.” He even wondered if she had been hiding it on her person.
He said: “If you watch how Ruby’s dressed in the camp, I looked at her one time… she’s got one of her trousers long, the other, she tucks it in her sock. So she looks like an ASBO grandma. Ruby looks like the grandma you go shoplifting with.”
Eddie also dismissed rumours of a romance between Aitch and Shona McGarty, after the rapper confessed to having a soft spot for the EastEnders actress.
He said: “Aitch and Shona? You do realise Aitch has a soft spot for me? More than Shona. Did you see him massaging me? Aitch will randomly just find me in the corner and he starts massaging me. We’ve all got a soft spot for each other.”
