Ruby Wax joked that she’s considering suing the producers of I’m A Celebrity before she’s even entered the jungle.
The comedian is one of several famous faces set to enter the jungle in Sunday’s premiere, including Kelly Brook, Jack Osbourne, and Alex Scott.
She complained about the “trash” hotel she’s been put up in by ITV bosses before she heads into camp.
“This hotel is just trash… I am complaining and changing rooms already,” the 71-year-old told The Mirror.
The presenter playfully added that she might consider legal action against producers once the hunger and exhaustion hits in the jungle.
“Oh, then I would get snarly, but not to anybody. I would just get snarly at the people who are producing this show and remind them that they are insured and I could sue them,” she said.
Wax also said she will regale her campmates with plenty of stories about her experiences with Donald Trump, OJ Simpson, and Sarah Ferguson.
“Oh, Donald Trump I do not think is too worried,” she said. “I think there is a whole country that might agree with me… I do not think he will be listening to the show, so I will be okay.”
She promised that campmates will hear her stories about Trump whether they want them or not.
The ITV reality show’s line-up is completed by rapper Aitch, real name Harrison Armstrong, social media star Morgan Burtwistle, who is known as Angryginge, EastEnders’ Shona McCarty, comedian Eddie Kadi, Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley, and Spandau Ballet star Martin Kemp.
Jack Osbourne, whose father, Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, died earlier this year, said he was going into the jungle to take his mind off things, and added his mother Sharon and sister Kelly would be “supportive” of him on the show.
He added: “It’s absolutely going to be hard leaving them behind. I have got lots of kids, my wife, and my family still in the wake of my dad passing.
“It is going to be difficult, that is for sure.”
Brook, 45, said she had promised she would “never do I’m A Celebrity several times”, and added she “didn’t think it was ever in me to do the challenges and bushtucker trials”.
But she added: “Since I have been with my husband, we have done a few things that I’ve surprised myself by.
“We did Race Across The World and I ran the London marathon this year – two things I never thought I had in me.
“I’m such a fan of the show that I thought: ‘Maybe I could do it, maybe I could cope.’ I won’t know unless I try and so I am going to throw myself into it.”
Regular presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will return to host the show in its 25th anniversary year, which was won by McFly singer Danny Jones in its last series.
The main show will return on Sunday, November 16 on ITV1 and ITVX at 9pm.
