Lioness Alex was previously caught with salt, and the camp lost one trial star as a result.<\/p>\n This led to an \u2018amnesty\u2019 where people could hand in anything else without fear of repercussions.<\/p>\n Here, Shona revealed that she had brought in a large bottle of scented room spray, which left everyone baffled as to how she could have even managed to sneak it in.<\/p>\n Reacting to the whole debacle, fans were unimpressed by the actor sneaking around with a second item and putting the camp at risk. <\/p>\n \u2018Nahh get Shona out. Twice now she\u2019s brought something into camp that shouldn\u2019t be there I\u2019m A Celebrity. She\u2019s going to lose their meals for her own selfishness,\u2019 Jasmin wrote on X.<\/p>\n \u2018They had already been punished for using sneaked in stuff, so Shona still does it anyway when she knows they will see everything??\u2019 ScottTFHC23 shared.<\/p>\n \u2018Shona the first time was cheeky and a bit funny, but again? really?\u2019 Toni Lou echoed.<\/p>\n \u2018Shona just hasn\u2019t learned her lesson! Now, you watch, all Lisa\u2018s hard work, they\u2019re going to take a meal away again. All for some butter.. Sorry, but that\u2019s bloody selfish,\u2019 Gillian Hudson agreed.<\/p>\n \u2018Maybe it\u2019s just me but I\u2019d be soooo pissed off at Shona having contraband AGAIN, it\u2019s just risking negative repercussions for everyone in camp,\u2019 Zaka said.<\/p>\n \u2018Sorry if I was in there and she\u2019d been caught with contraband for the second time I would have lost my\u2026 It\u2019s so selfish,\u2019 Jade added.<\/p>\n Fans were not only baffled by how obvious Shona made her butter usage, but were also concerned at just how old it was.<\/p>\n \u2018WHERE HAS THAT BUTTER COME FROM? IT HAS BEEN 2 WEEKS,\u2019 Rayinatorsport wrote.<\/p>\n \u2018The fact she\u2019s having butter that\u2019s been out of the fridge for over 3 week,\u2019 Tom posted.<\/p>\n \u2018I\u2019d have thought butter must be rank after 2 weeks unrefrigerated,\u2019 Sorel Arrow reflected.<\/p>\n \t\t Host Dec later revealed it wasn\u2019t hotfooted in but rather taken from the team after one of her trials.<\/p>\n After Shona stepped down Ruby Wax promptly replaced her (and locked her in the phone booth).<\/p>\n The power quickly went to her head as she declared: \u2018No more Mr Nice Guy\u2019, and Jack Osbourne even joked: \u2018Ruby as leader, pure insanity. The craziest dictatorship I think the world will ever know.\u2019<\/p>\n We\u2019re now entering the final week of I\u2019m A Celebrity 2025, with the evictions coming in hot and fast over the next seven days before we crown a King or Queen of the Jungle.<\/p>\n I\u2019m A Celebrity airs at 9pm on ITV<\/a>1.<\/strong><\/p>\n Got a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk<\/a> entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff<\/a> page \u2013 we\u2019d love to hear from you.<\/p>\n Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"Shona](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/SEI_276019387-4715.jpg\")
