Ruby Wax was forced to cancel one of her shows after sustaining “severe injuries” during a horse riding accident. The comedian, 72, who entered the Australian jungle last week for the new series of I’m A Celebrity, was a regular at Edinburgh Fringe Festival for years, and planned to perform Ruby Wax: How To Be Human at The Pleasance Grand in 2019.
However, the American actress suffered a serious back injury when she fell off her horse on holiday, forcing her to cancel the show. While details of her injury were not disclosed, the accident was serious enough for her to cancel her planned week of performances. At the time, the presenter admitted she was “hugely disappointed”, saying: “I’ve been coming to Edinburgh Fringe with my shows for over 30 years and always had the most amazing time.

“I am hugely disappointed and so sorry to everyone who has bought tickets. My injuries are quite serious and I do need to take the time to heal and recover.”
In a separate statement, she added: “Sorry to everyone who bought tickets and I hope to see you soon. I’ll miss you x … Thank you all for all your kind messages and thoughts – you are helping me recover faster x.”
Ruby became a household name in the nineties when she launched her show, When Ruby Wax Met…, where she interviewed some of the world’s most famous stars, including Madonna, Pamela Anderson, Donald Trump, Hugh Hefner, and O.J Simpson.
Ruby has described her interview with the now-US president as being her “worst ever”, an encounter which took place on his private plane more than 25 years ago.

Speaking on The Nightly Show, Ruby recalled: “[Trump] said he wanted to be the next president of the United States, so I started laughing. Who wouldn’t think that’s funny? So he said, ‘I’ve had enough of you. Land the plane.’ So he lands the plane, and now I’m with my crew in Arkansas. We weren’t heading for Arkansas!”
She added: “I would think we’re all scared he’s going to push the button, but not the nuke one, the one to send out another shite tweet.”
Ruby is the oldest contestant during this year’s series of I’m A Celebrity, which also features the likes of Kelly Brook, Lisa Riley, Martin Kemp and Jack Osbourne.
On joining the iconic show, Ruby joked: “I really don’t want to eat the food, I don’t want to sleep with snakes, and I will not be penetrated by a spider.”
