I’m A Celebrity viewers say ‘you can tell’ in Lisa Riley admission after ‘first ever’

The Emmerdale actress is among the ten famous faces to have signed up to the ITV reality show this year

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here viewers were quick to flock to social media as they responded to Lisa Riley’s latest appearance in the jungle.

The Emmerdale actress was among the ten famous faces seen heading into camp as the ITV reality show returned with its 2025 series on Sunday (November 16).

It was during the second episode of the series on Monday night (November 17) that the conversations were seen beginning in camp and things quickly got emotional for Lisa and Jack Osbourne.

TV star Jack broke down in tears as he opened up about his dad’s death. Ozzy Osbourne, the Black Sabbath frontman, passed away in July, aged 76.

The 40-year-old star shared: “It was definitely a shock. I mean, we knew he was sick for a while but it was definitely a shock. I mean, we didn’t know it would be that quick.

“It was the ultimate mic drop, he did a massive big gig and was like, alright I’m done.”

Lisa was seen comforting Jack as he spoke about his famous father, with the soap star sharing that she understood the loss of a parent following the death of her mother, Cath, from breast cancer in 2012.

Their conversation quickly sparked an outpouring of comments online, with many praising Lisa’s approach to the sensitive conversation and the bond she was seen forming with Jack over their shared grief.

@LaurenNic97 said: “You can just tell that Lisa Riley is just a gorgeous person #ImACeleb.” @98kltk commented: “Lisa Riley has such a sincereness about her, I love her #ImACeleb.”

@RyanJL wrote: “Isn’t Lisa Riley an absolute gem? Exactly the kind of person I’d like to have alongside me in the camp #ImACeleb.” @RyanSoapKing25 echoed: “Lisa Riley is the mother bear of the camp. We all need a person like her in our lives. #ImaCeleb.”

@jordloftus shared: “‘My mum is up there as well, so I get it..’ is the sweetest way of empathising and sharing a compassionate moment with someone like Lisa Riley just did with Jack Osbourne when discussing Ozzy Osbourne’s passing, beautiful moment! #ImaCeleb.”

It comes after hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly shared that Lisa may have achieved a ‘first’ before even stepping foot in camp as during her entry trial, the Bury-born star was heard saying ‘thank you’ as she had a box put over her head, which was then filled with snakes.

The hosts posted on X (formerly Twitter): “Lisa Riley must be the first ever celeb to say thank you during a trial.”
