Comedian Ruby Wax is set to make waves on the British reality television show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! as she prepares to share personal anecdotes about former President Donald Trump. Known for her candid humor and past encounters with Trump, Wax has hinted that viewers can expect some unfiltered stories during her time on the show.
In an interview with The Mirror, Wax stated, “Oh, they will come out of my mouth,” when asked about sharing her experiences with Trump. She reflected on her previous interactions with him, including an infamous incident where she was removed from his private jet. “I do not think he will be listening to the show, so I will be okay,” she added, suggesting that Trump’s reaction may not be a concern for her.
Controversial Encounters with Trump
Over the years, Wax has described Trump as “dangerous,” recounting moments that left her feeling genuinely uneasy. During a conversation with Sky News, she detailed her experiences, including a specific incident that occurred when she laughed at his aspiration to become president. “I thought, ‘What a kidder. This guy’s got a sense of humor,’” she recalled. The situation quickly escalated, resulting in Trump ordering the pilot to land the plane in Arkansas so she could disembark.
In a subsequent appearance on the Disruptors Podcast, Wax elaborated on their turbulent interaction, revealing, “He said at one point, ‘You’re angry but with a smile.’” She further highlighted a moment where Trump expressed his displeasure, saying, “If I ever see Ruby Wax again, I’m going to kill her.” Despite the tension, she believes they shared a bond that was not captured on camera during a car ride together.
Reality Show Dynamics and Personal Challenges
As she embarks on this new chapter in the spotlight, Wax has not shied away from expressing her thoughts on the show’s production. Upon arriving in Australia, she criticized the hotel accommodations, calling them “trash” and indicating her dissatisfaction almost immediately. “I am complaining and changing rooms already,” she quipped.
Wax, who admitted she is participating in the show partly “for dietary reasons,” expressed her anxieties about the challenges ahead, particularly her fear of heights and plane crashes. Despite these concerns, she remains resolute about not quitting unless faced with extreme circumstances. “No, not at all, unless they surprise me; if they throw me off a cliff, I guess I will be leaving,” she joked.
As her children voiced their disapproval of her participation, describing it as an embarrassment, Wax’s determination to engage with her fellow contestants and entertain the audience remains clear. With millions of viewers tuning into I’m A Celebrity, her stories about Trump could captivate audiences and add a dramatic twist to the ongoing reality show.
