The Australian jungle was already buzzing with tension — but nothing prepared viewers for the moment Declan Donnelly stopped the show dead in its tracks, delivering an unexpected apology that left both the studio and the audience at home stunned into silence.
It happened in the middle of another chaotic night on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! — a season already overflowing with clashes, late arrivals and unpredictable twists. But this single moment, raw and unfiltered, became the talking point of the night.
Declan looked straight down the lens, his voice unusually steady and sincere, and admitted:
“I’ve got an apology to make…”
The air tightened. Even Ant paused beside him.
What followed — a correction to an earlier joke about Vogue Williams’ name — wasn’t scandalous, but the delivery was so earnest and unexpected that the entire atmosphere froze. For a split second, it felt like the entire country held its breath.
Then came the cheeky punchline — “Papa Don’t Creek!” — breaking the tension and sending viewers into hysterics. A roller-coaster moment of silence, suspense and laughter… all in under 20 seconds.
Chaos Builds in the Jungle as New Arrivals Shake the Camp
The dramatic live moment added fuel to an already turbulent episode.
Late arrivals Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson have stepped into the jungle as this year’s “Camp Chiefs”, and their presence is stirring the pot faster than anyone expected. Armed with comfy beds and the power to assign duties, they’ve begun reorganising the camp — and not everyone is thrilled.
Jack Osbourne openly bristled at the disruption, saying the newcomers felt like “people walking into a movie halfway through and trying to change the ending.”
Even Ruby Wax compared the new hierarchy to Lord of the Flies, predicting that the camp could either “fall apart or fall madly in love.”
Tensions Explode: Food Fights, Hurt Feelings and Tough Assignments
New duties have reshaped the mood dramatically:
-
Kelly Brook & Martin Kemp → Camp chefs
-
Ruby Wax & Lisa Riley → Washing up
-
Jack Osbourne & Shona McGarty → Dunny duty (the dreaded toilets)
-
Alex Scott & Aitch → Wood duty
-
Eddie Kadi & Angry Ginge → Water duty
And it didn’t take long for the friction to show.
Kelly Brook, already under culinary pressure, clashed with Jack during meal prep — a moment that sparked heated reactions online and even led to comments from Jack’s own family watching back home.
Later, Ruby Wax delivered a savage review of Kelly’s cooking, calling the dish “bland” despite the group securing a rare Ostrich egg for dinner.
Fan Favourites Tested: Shona & Alex Face Brutal Trial After Being “Snubbed”
In a painful twist, Alex Scott and Shona McGarty were told they would not be receiving the full English breakfast given to other campmates who earned “Bush Explorer” badges. Instead, they were thrown straight into the next Bushtucker Trial: Tents of Torture.
Fans were outraged, flooding social media with messages of support:
-
“Shona and Alex deserve better!”
-
“Why are they being punished two days in a row?”
Viral Comedy: Aitch Teaches Ruby Wax Slang
Amid the tension, one campfire moment went instantly viral:
Ruby Wax, proudly reciting Manchester rapper Aitch’s slang, announcing:
“I’m a leng ting b*h!”**
Viewers cried laughing, demanding ITV release a full hour of Aitch teaching Ruby “Gen Z jungle language.”
Martin Kemp’s Oscar Moment & Jack’s Fake-Out Meltdown
A dramatic fake panic swept through camp when Jack Osbourne pretended the team had failed their Bushtucker Trial. Martin Kemp even turned on the tears to sell the moment.
Only after several agonising minutes did Jack reveal:
“We got all 12 stars!”
Declan couldn’t resist:
“Martin, you deserve an Oscar.”
Romance Rumblings & Secret Agendas
Matchmaker Tom Read Wilson hinted that Aitch and Shona McGarty might be getting close in the background — both single, both blue-eyed, and both increasingly comfortable around each other.
Meanwhile, Ruby Wax confessed in the Telegraph that her tight bond with Tom is purely strategic:
“If he doesn’t get me a badge, I’ll drop him.”
Health Concerns Spark Worry
Viewers expressed genuine concern as Lisa Riley appeared with a swollen red eye. ITV confirmed medics are on standby, but no official update has been given.
A Season on the Edge — and Tonight’s Live Apology Proved It
This year’s I’m A Celebrity is chaotic, emotional, hilarious and explosive — often in the same scene. But Declan Donnelly’s brief, startlingly sincere apology on live TV became a defining moment of the night, reminding fans why live television is unbeatable:
Anything can happen — and usually does.
