Campmates in shock as Ruby Wax snogs Dec live on air

Ruby Wax left her former campmates stunned after snogging Declan Donnelly live on air on Sunday (7 December).

The actress and writer, 72, stuck it on the presenter while she was appearing on the I'm A Celeb spin-off show, Unpacked, shortly after Angry Ginge was crowned King of the Jungle.

While playing what was supposed to be a hypothetical game of snog, marry, avoid, Wax got extremely literal.

She was tasked with choosing between Unpacked host Joel Dommett, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.

Wax opted to avoid Dommett as she reckons he is 'too neat' for her, while marrying Ant and snogging Dec - and she actually planted one on him.

After sending a tray flying off a coffee table, Dec joked that he thought 'he was going to get his snog' from her.

Wax didn't need telling twice - so she then dived towards him and gave him a big kiss, much to the amusement of the crew, Ant and Dommett.

Adding even more hilarity to the situation, Dec then popped a pillow over his lap...for obvious reasons.

Ant then amusingly added: "I don't know about you, but I'm turned on watching it!"

Social media users tuning into Unpacked seemed to think the whole thing was hilarious, as one commented: "Didn’t have Ruby Wax snogging Dec on my 2025 bingo card."

A second said: "Thank you for the best moment, did not think I'd see Ruby Wax snog Dec."

Another wrote: "Everyone who’s not turned over to Unpacked just missing Ruby Wax kissing Dec…on the lips!"

While a fourth added: "Ruby causing chaos and kissing Dec on live TV. Still an icon."

Wax now has an even larger legion of fans on this side of the Atlantic after her stint in I'm A Celeb.

Much to the surprise of a lot of fans, she was booted out of the ITV show on Tuesday (2 December).

Although she was gutted that her jungle journey came to an end, Wax was probably very happy to reunite with her husband Ed Bye at the swanky five-star Marriott hotel the stars are put up in.

The pair have been married for the last 37 years and share three children, although Wax admitted she wasn't 'expecting to find her happy-ever-after' in him when they first met.

"I asked Ed if he wanted to marry me, told him I had an opening in my calendar, and gave him a date," she previously said. "I said many men were after me, but I was lying."

I wonder if she'll use that line on Dec too, eh?
