She recalled how Charles and Edward had a laugh while she “was having a cook-out with them” by a loch in Scotland.

Ruthie said: “They told me there were ghosts in this particular place and when I went to the toilet with a candle — as there was no electricity — they waited for me to come out and then jumped out on me.

“I screamed the place down! They were hil­arious.”

Musicals star Ruthie’s I’m A Celeb arrival was teased at the end of tonight’s show.
