Martin Kemp is widely expected to become the next contestant to leave the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! jungle. The former Spandau Ballet bassist is predicted by bookmakers to be the sixth celebrity eliminated from the popular ITV reality series.
This development comes amid some viewer frustration over Kemp remaining on the show longer than Ruby Wax, who was voted out in Wednesday night’s episode (December 3). Fans have taken to social media expressing surprise that Kemp, who has had relatively little screen time, has stayed while Wax was sent home.
One viewer tweeted, “How has Martin stayed in longer than Ruby? She was brilliant.” Another added, “I literally forget he’s on there sometimes; she should have been in the top three.”

According to the latest betting odds, Kemp is the next most likely to leave, with odds at 1/2. Following him, Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley is second at 7/4, and former EastEnders actress Shona McGarty is third at 8/1.
Meanwhile, rapper Aitch is currently the favorite to win, with odds of 11/10, closely followed by fellow Mancunian Angry Ginge at 5/2. Both have gained popularity among fans, despite recent camp controversies. For instance, Aitch, Ginge, and Kelly Brook recently sparked drama after winning a challenge to earn milk bottle sweets but ate half before returning and lied about the amount.
As for Ruby Wax, she expressed her heartbreak over her exit during an appearance on This Morning. “I’ve been ripped from my family, ripped from the womb. I’m so upset, I can’t even tell you,” she said. Wax also shared her struggles with the camp’s food, describing it as “like eating styrofoam,” with unpleasant meals even involving eel and crocodile, which she found deeply challenging.
