What began as a heartbreaking goodbye in the Australian jungle has now exploded into a mischievous bombshell no one saw coming.
Just hours after being dramatically voted out of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in a shock double eviction alongside Jack Osbourne, Lisa Riley stunned viewers once again — this time with a cheeky confession that’s now lighting up social media.
The Emmerdale star, 49, revealed she had secretly kept a banned item hidden in camp — and her confession came with laughter, disbelief… and one very telling accusation.
A Double Exit That Changed Everything
Friday night’s episode delivered one of the most emotional twists of the series so far, as both Lisa Riley and Jack Osbourne, 40, were unexpectedly sent packing just days before the legendary Celebrity Cyclone Challenge — the final gatekeeper before the crown is handed out.
For both stars, the timing was brutal. They had survived weeks of challenges, fear, hunger, and emotional breakthroughs — only to miss the iconic final trial by a heartbeat.
But the real surprise was still to come.
The Confession That Set The Camp Buzzing
After exiting the jungle, Lisa and Jack joined Ant and Dec for their emotional farewell interview. But it wasn’t until they later appeared on I’m A Celebrity: Unpacked with host Kemi Rodgers that Lisa dropped the jaw-dropping revelation.
When asked who she preferred between AngryGinge and Aitch, Lisa laughed and casually let slip:
“Yeah, last night… he grassed on me!”
Turning to Jack, she added with wide-eyed disbelief:
“Didn’t he grass?”
Then came the confession that stunned fans:
“He told everybody… you’ll probably see this… he said I had contraband — because I didn’t give my pillow back!”
The jungle rule? No personal comforts. No exceptions.
Yet somehow, Lisa had managed to secretly keep hold of a pillow — believed to be from her time as deputy in the treehouse — turning her into the most lovable “rule-breaker” the jungle has seen in years.
Fans quickly dubbed the moment “peak Lisa”: mischievous, warm, and impossibly human.
“A Basket Of Bliss”: Lisa’s Emotional Farewell To The Jungle
Before reuniting with her loved ones, Lisa gave one of the most touching exit interviews of the series.
Describing her time in the jungle, she said quietly:
“It was a basket of bliss. The endless laughter from the second we opened our eyes to the second we went to sleep.”
She admitted the jungle had allowed her to reconnect with a childhood freedom she thought she’d lost:
“I kept saying we were ‘embracing our juvenile’ — and I had the privilege to do that in the Australian jungle.”
But it was Lisa’s role as the emotional heartbeat of the camp that moved fans the most.
“I’ve not been lucky enough to be a mother in life. But if I could be the jungle mum, then bring it on.”
She revealed that campmates constantly came to her for comfort:
“People kept coming to me for advice and a cuddle. When you’ve lived a bit, you can speak the truth from experience.”
Her final words left many viewers in tears:
“If I’m mumma bear of this jungle, then I feel like I’ve already won.”
Bonds That Became Family
Lisa described Aitch and AngryGinge as her “naughty little brothers” — the pair who let her be her most authentic self.
But it was her connection with Ruby Wax that carried the deepest meaning.
“She became like my mum. She was the mum I lost,” Lisa said softly.
“When things were tough, she was there for me.”
Lisa also revealed she wants Ginge to win the crown, explaining that he reminds her of her real-life brother — someone she shares a powerful lifelong bond with.
The Reunion That Left Everyone In Tears
As the jungle gates opened for the final time, there wasn’t a single dry eye.
Lisa was reunited with her husband Al, and the moment was overwhelming. She ran straight into his arms, kissing him tightly as he proudly told her:
“You look great. Everyone is so proud of you.”
Shaking with emotion, Lisa whispered:
“I had your picture at the end of my bed. I just knew you were my strength.”
Al teased her gently through laughter and tears:
“I honestly thought you’d be yelping the whole time.”
Across the clearing, Jack Osbourne’s reunion was just as emotional, as wife Aree and daughter Maple ran to meet him.
The TV star immediately broke down:
“I missed you guys so much.”
He lifted Maple into his arms, smiling through tears:
“Hi my nugget!”
When he asked how she liked Australia, her simple reply melted hearts:
“I love you so much.”
Aree also delivered a powerful message from home:
“Sharon is so proud of you. She watches every single day. And Kelly watches every single day too.”
A legacy of strength, watched from across the world.
From Contraband To Crown Contender — Lisa’s Jungle Legacy Is Sealed
From secret pillows and rule-bending laughs to maternal wisdom and tear-soaked reunions, Lisa Riley’s jungle journey has become one of the most human, heartfelt arcs of the entire season.
She didn’t leave with the crown.
But she left with something far rarer.
The love of the camp.
The respect of the nation.
And the title of the jungle’s eternal Mumma Bear.
