ITV says the launch delivered the network’s biggest overnight audience of 2025.

Overview

  • Ruby Wax and Angry Ginge completed the first eating Bushtucker trial at The Divey, securing all 10 stars for camp.
  • Viewer reaction was sharply divided over Wax’s on‑camera remarks to Angry Ginge, with some social posts calling for her removal.
  • Angry Ginge is being framed by outlets as an early favourite following the opening episodes.
  • Despite strong ratings, some viewers complained about late start times and voiced criticism of hosts Ant and Dec.
  • Early camp tensions surfaced as Aitch pulled Ginge aside over fire duties, and Kelly Brook grew emotional and apologised to Jack Osbourne about helping with chores.
