Reality TV star Jack Osbourne has made a startling confession about his time in the Australian jungle, revealing he had a furious off-camera confrontation with I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! producers.
The Challenge That Sparked the Outburst
The 40-year-old son of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, who was a contestant on the 2025 series, detailed the incident on the Trying Not To Die Podcast. The row centred on a task designed to win photos from home for the camp, known as the Dark Room Challenge.
Osbourne explained that he was selected for a segment where he had to place his hands into overhead boxes containing heavy light switches. However, the challenge was repeatedly halted due to technical failures.
'I Lost My S***': Osbourne's Fury Over Ant Bites
"I'd be in there doing it and it wasn't working correctly, I'd be getting eaten to s***," Osbourne recalled. He stated he was forced to re-enter the challenge area three times, enduring painful bites from green ants each time.
"I just lost my s***, I was like, 'What the f*** is going on?'" he said. The star claimed he was left covered in bites, resembling someone with chickenpox after just 15 minutes.
His anger was primarily directed at what he perceived as a lack of honesty from the production team. "I just didn't like that they weren't being straight up about it," Osbourne stated. He said he would have preferred them to admit fault directly.
Despite the Drama, a 'Great Time' in the Jungle
Despite this behind-the-scenes tension, which was not broadcast to viewers, Osbourne was keen to stress that his overall experience on the ITV show was positive. He said he had a "great time" and is "glad" he participated.
His bravery during the series, notably when he secured all 12 stars in an underwater trial, won praise from hosts Ant and Dec and the audience. The 2025 series was ultimately won by content creator Angry Ginge, who was crowned King of the Jungle.
Reach PLC has contacted a representative for ITV for comment regarding Osbourne's claims about the production issues.
