Ruby Wax Exits the Jungle After Sharing Red Underwear and Sparking Debate

Comedian and mental health advocate Ruby Wax has become the fifth celebrity to leave the Australian jungle on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!.

The 72-year-old was never shy about causing a stir, whether it was through her funny antics, her candid discussions, or even her choice of lucky apparel.

Ruby Wax's time in the camp was characterized by her outspoken personality and her goal of challenging how the world views women in midlife.

One of Ruby Wax's most talked-about moments during the series did not involve a terrifying trial, but rather her personal belongings.

Before his challenging Bushtucker Trial, Ruby Wax decided to bestow a slightly unusual gift upon her campmate, social media star Angry Ginge.

Angry Ginge looked both shocked and amused by the unique good luck charm, which perfectly summed up Ruby Wax's surprising and direct nature.

Beyond the jokes, Wax was a strong presence in the camp, often stirring up minor conflicts with her direct opinions on chores or when she hilariously tried to sneak a whole bag of liquorice sweets for herself.

She also opened up to her fellow campmates, leading deep discussions about mental health and depression, something she has always been very vocal about.

Her friend, author Kathy Lette, even shared that Ruby Wax's motivation for joining the show was to prove that women of her age are "still there and fabulous."

After being in the bottom two alongside actress Lisa Riley, Ruby received the fewest public votes and became the fifth contestant eliminated from the competition.

Leaving the jungle proved to be an emotional experience for the comedy legend.
