She added that she was ‘wooed’ by Tom Read Wilson, and reflected that she had a strong bond with the younger contestants, Ginge and Aitch.

Ruby joked she was ‘slightly hysterical’ and felt aged three at certain points, but admitted to having a fabulous time nonetheless in the jungle.

Ant and Dec also took the time to gleefully tell the star about the truth behind the infamous milk bottle debacle.

The star was shocked to learn that there were 20 milk bottle sweets, not three, as she was told and joked she would whip the boys involved in the scheme and planned to ‘deal with them’ as soon as they were evicted.

Ginge was her vote for the King of the Jungle, adding that he was the ‘strongest’ and she would ‘put money’ on that.

In last night’s episode, Kelly Brook was the fourth contestant to leave, after receiving the fewest votes in the group, alongside Lisa Riley.

Previous evictees include Alex Scott, Eddie Kadi, and Vogue Williams, with Lisa Riley narrowly avoiding elimination twice in a row.

On Wednesday night’s epsisode, Jack revealed that it was his dad’s birthday, as he said: ‘I’m ok though, it’s just another day at the end of the day.’

He later toasted his late father at camp, and became teary as he discussed his death with his fellow contestants, asserting that his father would be proud that he’s having fun in the jungle.

In the morning, the camp reached a unanimous decision that Jack should face that day’s Bushtucker Trial called Dangerous Discoveries. 

Jack delighted campmates by leaving the challenge with an impressive seven out of eight stars, meaning a good dinner was in store, as they were presented with a goat leg.

After a challenge, Tom Read Wilson and Lisa won a load of presents for their celebs, wrapped up by their loved ones.

Martin Kemp was gifted a ukulele, which he revealed he had no idea how to play. Aitch received gel eye patches, while Ginge got a Manchester United scarf, Jack Osbourne got a foam exercise roller, Shona got an air freshener, Ruby got a pink porcelain pig, Tom got a large hat, and Lisa got a white bear toy.
