The Australian jungle, usually a steamy paradise of Bushtucker Trials and celebrity bonding, has morphed into a powder keg of paranoia and payback on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! 2025. In a explosive episode that aired December 2, EastEnders star Shona McGarty detonated the camp’s fragile peace with a tearful, finger-pointing meltdown, screaming, “I can’t believe this…” as a wave of mysterious contraband scandals and hidden betrayals left her fellow celebrities reeling. What started as a simple amnesty over smuggled butter escalated into all-out war, with accusations flying thicker than the humidity, alliances shattering, and secrets threatening to boil over like an unattended rice pot. As Ruby Wax’s iron-fisted leadership crumbles under mutiny plots and stolen sweets, viewers are glued: Is this the messiest finale week yet, or the spark that torches the entire camp?

The chaos ignited Sunday night when Shona, freshly demoted from camp leader after her own butter blunder, stormed into the clearing clutching a damning laminate from producers. “Please don’t hate me…” she pleaded, voice trembling, before dropping the bomb: contraband had been discovered—again. This time, it wasn’t salt or an air freshener (Shona’s earlier smuggling sins, nicked from a trial and stashed in the dunny, as Dec cheekily revealed). No, this was a full tray of milk bottle sweets from a Dingo Dollar win, secretly devoured by Aitch, Kelly Brook, and Angry Ginge (Morgan Burtwistle) before they returned to camp with just crumbs. Vogue Williams, in her explosive exit interview just hours earlier, had spilled the beans: “Snakes in the camp!” she gasped, naming the trio as the culprits behind the “betrayal” that starved the group. Shona, still stinging from her butter bust (which cost the camp a Bushtucker star and Aitch’s hard-earned meals), exploded: “I can’t believe this—after everything? We’re family!” Her outburst, raw and ragged, echoed through the trees as tears streamed, turning the campfire into a confessional courtroom.

But the eruption didn’t stop at sweets. Tensions had been simmering for days, fueled by chore wars and cooking clashes that pitted Shona against everyone from Jack Osbourne to Ruby Wax. In a fiery Bush Telegraph rant, Shona fumed about Jack’s “interference” during dinner prep: “I could have poked him with a stick—his comments are getting on my t*ts!” Osbourne, hovering over the fire like a paranoid sous-chef, fretted about raw meat attracting flies, sparking eye-rolls from Shona and Tom Read Wilson, who were desperately trying to salvage a decent meal. Wax piled on, nitpicking the overcooked corn: “It’s mush—ruined!” she barked, her new role as leader (thrust upon her after Shona’s fall) already breeding resentment. Aitch and Ginge, fresh from their sweet heist, plotted a full mutiny: “Ruby’s power-mad—time to revolt,” Ginge whispered, dubbing her reign “pure insanity.” Even the washing-up saga reignited, with Kelly Brook—now exposed as a secret snacker—sniping at Shona for skimping on water duty: “It’s always empty—non-stop!”

Secrets are the real venom here, bubbling under the surface like a hidden viper. Shona’s air freshener heist, revealed by Dec as a trial pilfer (“She nicked it from the props!”), painted her as the ultimate rule-breaker, but whispers point to deeper deceptions. Is Alex Scott truly the butter smuggler, or a scapegoat for someone else’s sin? And what of the rumored flirt-fests—Aitch and Shona’s playful roll in the dirt, now soured by betrayal? Martin Kemp grumbled about “too many cooks,” but the real recipe for disaster is trust, eroded by stolen treats and shirked chores. As the camp fractures, alliances shift: Lisa Riley backs Shona’s fury (“We’ve got your back, girl”), while Jack eyes the exit, muttering about the “toxic vibes.”

Viewers are divided and devastated, with #ImACelebChaos trending globally at 1.2 million posts. “Shona’s meltdown = iconic—hold my laminate!” cheered @JungleDramaQueen (45k likes), while purists wailed: “This isn’t bonding; it’s backstabbing!” (@CelebSurvivor, 30k retweets). Ant and Dec, barely containing smirks from the studio, teased more revelations: “The jungle’s secrets are spilling—next up, who stole the salt?” With the finale looming December 8, and contenders like Aitch, Ginge, and Ruby neck-and-neck, one thing’s clear: Shona’s scream isn’t just catharsis—it’s the crack in the dam. Will the camp implode before the crown’s claimed, or will these reeling stars forge peace from the ashes? Tune in tonight at 9pm on ITV; the jungle’s not just wild—it’s war
