Vogue Williams has finally lifted the lid on one of the biggest mysteries in this year’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! camp — why Martin Kemp barely faced a single major trial — while also revealing the shocking accident that left her with a bandaged knee in the jungle.
Fresh after her emotional exit from the ITV show on Monday night, the Irish star, 40, went live on Instagram from her luxury five-star hotel room in Surfers Paradise to answer the questions fans had been demanding answers to.
And what she revealed changed everything.
“Martin DID Want to Do the Trials…”
For weeks, viewers had been questioning why Martin Kemp appeared to avoid the dreaded Bushtucker Trials — with social media exploding with jokes, frustration, and conspiracy theories.
Even his own son, Roman Kemp, publicly teased him about it.
Now, Vogue has set the record straight.
“Martin did want to do the trials,” she insisted. “But the truth is — he was exempt from some of them.”
She went on to explain that every single celebrity this year was eager to face the challenges, something she described as highly unusual for the show.
“Normally people try to avoid them,” Vogue said. “But this year? Everyone wanted to go in.”
As for Martin?
“He’s quieter than most. He was happy to let the others step forward. And honestly? He’s just the loveliest man — genuinely kind through and through.”
ITV has not yet addressed her claims.

Fans Explode as Jack Osbourne Faces Yet Another Trial
As Jack Osbourne was sent into another brutal challenge on Wednesday night, fans once again flooded social media with outrage and disbelief:
-
“Another day, another trial Martin isn’t doing.”
-
“Is Martin wearing an invisibility cloak?”
-
“Jack’s doing everything — Martin’s done nothing!”
Vogue’s revelation now suggests medical or age-related exemptions may have played a far bigger role than viewers realised.
The Truth Behind Vogue’s “Mysterious” Knee Injury
Elsewhere in her livestream, Vogue finally revealed how she really injured her knee, after fans spotted her wearing a heavy bandage in camp and feared something serious had happened.
And the truth was both painful — and very human.
“It’s so annoying… and honestly, it’s completely my own fault,” she admitted.
According to Vogue, the jungle is packed with long, swinging rope bridges connecting different areas of the camp. With nothing else to do, the celebs began creating their own challenges to pass the time.
One of those games turned dangerous.
“We started racing each other across the bridges,” she explained. “They bounce like crazy.”
“I ran as fast as I could… and I fell hard. I completely smashed my knee.”
The pain was so intense that the medical team rushed in immediately — just moments before she was due to take part in a trial.
“It was really painful. Really disgusting. The medic had to patch me up straight away.”
Despite the injury, she still went ahead with the challenge.
“It’s just a nasty cut. It stings constantly. I just really hope it doesn’t scar.”
Host Ant McPartlin later confirmed the dramatic fall:
“She was strapped in, tried to run full speed across the bridge — and just went down.”
From Jungle Chaos to Luxury Hotel Recovery
Now safely out of the jungle and recovering in a five-star hotel, Vogue is finally adjusting to life after weeks of exhaustion, fear, adrenaline — and injury.
But her revelations have sparked fresh debate across social media:
-
Did Martin Kemp receive unfair protection?
-
Should all exemptions be made public?
-
And how dangerous are these off-camera jungle games really becoming?
One thing is certain…
The drama didn’t end when Vogue left the jungle — it’s only just beginning.
