Despite the behind-the-scenes difficulties, I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star Jack Osbourne said he had a “great time” on the show and is “glad” he did it
I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2025 star Jack Osbourne said he “lost [his] s**t” with show producers, following technical difficulties during filming. The 40-year-old impressed hosts Ant and Dec, as well as viewers, with his bravery throughout the series, particularly when he earned all 12 stars for camp in an underwater challenge.
As part of his stint, the reality star also took part in a Dark Room Challenge alongside Shona McGarty, Eddie Kadi and Lisa Riley, where they had the opportunity to win photos from home.
During the task, the group was split into pairs: one pair entered a dark gallery to describe framed pictures to their teammates, while the other two searched the unlit room for matching photos based on those descriptions.
Each team had to find and match the correct photos in complete darkness, with limited visibility and creatures dropped on them in true I’m A Celebrity style.
Reflecting on this challenge, the Osbournes star said there was a tense moment during filming that wasn’t shown to viewers.
According to Jack, he and other campmates had to redo a part of a challenge due to technical difficulties.
Discussing his experience on the Trying Not To Die Podcast, the son of Sharon Osbourne and the late Ozzy Osbourne said: “I got really p****d at one point and went f*****g nuts.
“What happened was, I got selected to go and do a challenge, not a trial, and it was an opportunity to win pictures from home.
“I had to stick my hands in these boxes overhead that had these heavy light switches.”
While trying to complete the mission however, the reality star said there were “problems” with the trial and he kept having to stop and start.
“I’d be in there doing it and it wasn’t working correctly, I’d be getting eaten to s**t,” he recalled.
“And so I had to go in three times to do it and I just lost my s**t, I was like, ‘What the f**k is going on?’
“They were like, ‘Sorry it’s technical problems’ and this, that and the other and I just said, ‘This is b******t’.
“I was like, ‘I’m not earning anything more by keep going in because you guys didn’t properly prep this and test it, I’m having to get eaten alive by these crazy ants’.”
Jack said he had been so badly bitten by green ants after 15 minutes that he looked like he had “chickenpox.”
He continued: “It was late, it was at night, there were clearly some technical problems but I just didn’t like that they weren’t being straight up about it.
“Just be honest and be like, ‘Hey there’s a problem, we f****d it up, we didn’t get the shots we needed, can you just go back in please? We know it’s horrible’. I lost it.”
Reach PLC have contacted a representative for ITV for comment.
Despite these technical challenges, Jack said he is “glad” he did the show and had “a great time”.
Following his exit from the jungle, he reunited with his campmates for the Coming Out programme after Angry Ginge was crowned the new King of the Jungle.
