I’M A Celeb star Vogue Williams has revealed she knew Angry Ginge was the camp butter smuggler – but he swore her to secrecy.
The Irish podcaster, 40, spotted the contraband spread in the Aussie site’s food trunk earlier in the series, and Ginge told her to keep schtum to avoid trouble.
Ex-EastEnders actress Shona McGarty, 34, was caught using the butter to flavour her rice and beans on Sunday’s show.
It was her second offence – after she pinched a can of air freshener from a trial for the dunny – and her punishment saw her dethroned as camp leader.
But Shona insisted she did not smuggle the contraband, and the identity of the smuggler was a mystery – until Vogue became the third campmate evicted in last night’s show.
She immediately grassed up YouTuber Ginge, 24, to the rest of the camp before leaving.
Vogue told The Sun: “They were like, ‘Tell us when you leave’. And I was like, ‘It was Ginge!’
“And Ginge is still denying it down to the ground.
“He didn’t even eat it!
“It was this measly little pack of butter and it was like half-full and had sticks and dirt in it, so he must have just seen it on the ground and picked it up.

“I have no idea where he got the butter from because I didn’t want to call him out in there.
“I didn’t want people to know it was him, and I didn’t want us to get in trouble again – I didn’t want to lose stars.
“So where he got the butter is beyond me. And fair play to him, he didn’t eat it.”
The Sun revealed today that ITV bosses had launched a crackdown on their contraband-smuggling stars after a surge in banned items being sneaked into the camp.
Shona’s close pal, former Lioness Alex Scott, 41, had smuggled salt and pepper sachets into camp to secretly season dinners before she became the first star to be evicted on Friday.
And after being axed on Sunday, comedian Eddie Kadi made 72-year-old Ruby Wax the chief suspect – but also said he thought Ginge could be responsible.
Speaking about Ginge, Vogue said: “He came over to me when I’d opened the trunk and he was like, ‘Don’t say anything, don’t say anything’.
“I think there will be more. You can’t help it.
“When you’re in there you’re like, ‘Let’s steal that’. It’s just so weird. When you go out you steal stupid stuff – you just want stuff because you have nothing.
“I think that the only thing about the salt was I wish we’d had more of it.”
Vogue says she is a “rule-follower” and did not sneak anything in.
But she says the contraband drama has taught her to “stop following all the rules to a T” – and said she is “disgusted with myself” for not taking any banned items in.
She added: “It was just quite fun to bring in stuff that you weren’t allowed.
“The air freshener, it really made a difference to our way of living.
“Unless you’ve been in the dunny, you’ll never understand the stench of the dunny.
“I tried to put a scarf around my face. Then when the air freshener showed up, it actually smelt decent.”
GINGE BUTTERS UP CAMPMATES
THIS year’s bunch of jungle celebs are proving to be a particularly naughty bunch – with two of them caught with contraband last week.
Evicted TV host Alex Scott smuggled sachets of salt and pepper into camp to season food, while Shona McGarty nabbed an air freshener from the trial zone’s posh loo AND enjoyed some butter with her rice and beans.
Now you can chuck slippery YouTuber Angry GIinge into that group – as he has been outed as the campmate who sneaked in the butter.
He swore Vogue Williams to secrecy after she discovered the contraband in the food trunk.
But she has now grassed him up after being sent packing following a public vote.
Vogue said: “He came over to me and was, like, ‘Don’t say anything, don’t say anything’.
“It was this measly little pack of butter and it was, like, half full and had sticks and dirt in it, so he must have just seen it on the ground and picked it up.
“I have no idea where he got the butter from because I didn’t want to call him out in there.
“I didn’t want people to know it was him, and I didn’t want us to get in trouble again – I didn’t want to lose stars.
“So where he got the butter is beyond me. And, fair play to him, he didn’t eat it.”
HE’S A RO-MAN ON A MISSION…
ROMAN KEMP’s tireless efforts to get people to vote for dad Martin to do Bushtucker Trials never fail to put a smile on my face.
The radio host and TV presenter is always in good spirits on X – but he now seems to be particularly peeved over a lack of airtime for Spandau Ballet star Martin.
In one post, Roman – who came third in I’m A Celeb in 2019 – wrote: “If we keep voting for him, they’ll have to show him do something at some point.”
And he reposted one user’s picture of Martin and said: “Can confirm he has been on screen this ep.” Poor old Martin.
On the plus side for Roman, if his dad does crash out of the series soon, at least he’ll still hold bragging family rights.
KELLY BROOK, Angry Ginge and Aitch were laughing away when they sneakily tucked into some milk bottle sweets they had won for camp.
But the smiles could soon be wiped off their faces – because their campmates may well find out.
The trio won 20 sweets in the challenge, but ate three each before heading back to camp.
And hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly suggested they will drop hints to the others about it in the coming days.
Ant said: “It’s not our job to tell them. I think it’s funny.
“We might, kind of, give a few clues over the next few days.
“You kind of want them to dob themselves in.”
