As Ruby Wax joins the latest 'I'm A Celebrity' lineup, public attention has resurfaced regarding her notable feud with documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux. Wax, a veteran broadcaster, previously expressed significant anger, feeling that Theroux had adopted and popularized the style of investigative journalism she had pioneered.
Despite attempting to move past the issue, Wax admitted on a podcast that she still harbored anger, noting the constant comparisons she received from the public and media.
