Although she wasn't one of the I'm A Celeb contestants to enter the jungle via an aircraft, Ruby Wax does have some prior experience of being thrown off one.
Five stars of the hit ITV show were forced to jump out of a helicopter before entering the jungle in last night's episode (16 November), but the US comedian kept her feet firmly on solid ground.
She did, however, share quite the interesting anecdote about once being ordered off Donald Trump's plane after managing to offend him.
Wax, 72, sat down to interview the commander-in-chief more than 25 years ago when his presidency was nothing more than a pipe dream.

At the time, Trump was a billionaire businessman who had dreams of conquering the political sphere - but Wax seemed to think this was a laughable idea.
While sitting on his private jet, the actress and writer claims she ended up being shown the door after she let out a giggle when he discussed the prospect of becoming president one day.
As she introduced herself to I'm A Celeb fans in the first episode, Wax recalled the shocking exchange, which she has previously described as her 'worst ever' interview.
Take a look at this:
Discussing what happened when she spoke to Trump in 2000 for her BBC series Ruby's American Pie, Wax said: "About 25 years ago, I had a show, so I went on Donald Trump's plane.
"He said he wanted to be the president of the United States, and I started laughing...and he didn't think it was funny, so he threw me off his plane. I'll never forget that!"
She shared the footage of the extremely awkward interview in a post on X in 2016 while Trump was running against Hillary Clinton in the presidential race, writing: "Here's my full interview with Trump from 2000. I hope this helps bring him down. Pls share far and wide."
In the clip, the Illinois-born star was seen struggling to hide her amusement as Trump declared he would like to run for office.
After an uncomfortable few minutes sitting alongside each other on his plane, the now-president suddenly told Wax the aircraft was setting off - so she needed to exit it, ASAP.
"We have to take off...I'm going to go upstairs," Trump said. "That's enough, I have a headache."
Wax then asked him, 'Do you hate me?', to which he responded: "No, I think you're fine, but that's enough."
She went on to explain that after some 'schmoozing', she managed to convince Trump to continue their conversation.
Wax subsequently described this interview as the 'worst encounter' she has ever had with a celebrity, telling The Telegraph last year: "It’s awful to be in his eyeline, and for him to be sending hatred towards you is not pleasant.
"His eyes said, 'I’m going to rip your throat out,' and it was very hard to ask questions in that kind of climate. It was awful. It backfired. Who knew he would become president?
"I laughed at him, which is why he threw me out of his aeroplane. We were in his private jet, and he said he wanted to be president, and I started laughing, and it turned into a hate match from there on.
"I thought he was kidding, but he made his pilot land, and he threw me off. It was an interesting situation - not one to repeat."
