ITV invited Ruth to join the show as a guest. She'll share her thoughts on the jungle drama and support her friend and Loose Women co-star Jane Moore, who is currently in camp.

Jane, 62, has had a rocky start in the jungle. She clashed with campmates Barry McGuigan and Danny Jones earlier this week after they assigned her dishwashing duties. Jane called the pair sexist and ageist in a heated exchange, which left viewers divided.

Ruth also works with fellow campmate GK Barry on the Loose Women panel. Her insights are expected to add to the fun dynamic between Unpacked hosts Joel Dommett, Kemi Rodgers, and Sam Thompson.

Before her flight, Ruth posted on Instagram, showing herself getting ready for the trip. "Packing for Oz!" she captioned her video, leaving fans excited to see her on the show.
