Ruby Wax recalled her infamous interview with OJ Simpson on Tuesday night's I'm A Celebrity. 

The presenter, 72, became a household name in the 1990s for her show, Ruby Wax Meets... interviewing stars such as Pamela Anderson, Madonna and Donald Trump. 

Ruby met OJ in 1998, after he was acquitted in 1994 of the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. 

The TV star spoke about the eerie moment OJ pretended to stab the presenter with a banana after the interview.

She told Alex Scott and Shona McGarty: 'That was insane. He tried to kill me with a banana. He said "I did it" and then said "April Fool's". Because he wanted to get caught, he couldn't live with the guilt. He was teasing the whole time. 

'I did Trump. I know what his brain is like. Total insanity and anger and arrogant. Bill Crosby was insane too.' 

Alex said in the Bush Telegraph: 'I loved watching Ruby Wax Meets. I grew up watching all her documentaries. Shows like this bring people together that I thought I'd never meet in my life'. 

After hearing her stories, fans called Ruby an 'icon' and urged bosses to consider bringing the BBC show back. They wrote on X: 'ITV need to recommission Ruby Max Meets...';

'Great to see how many people are now on board with the Ruby love. I said from the start once you get to see her you will. Been a massive fan of hers for years'; 

'Ruby Wax is an icon, she better not get voted out early' and 'Ruby Wax trying to bring back her chat show back via this show'. 

Elsewhere on the show, Ruby recalled when she interview Trump in 1999 and laughed in his face at his revelation he wanted to become president. 

In what she previously claimed was 'the worst interview I’ve ever done', she told Kelly Brook: 'Donald Trump said he wanted to be president of the United States and I started laughing because I thought it was a joke. 

'He was looking at me like: 'what an a*****e. Hatred. 

'And I said who would you date if you were in the Whitehouse?' And he said: "That's enough, you're the most obnoxious person I've ever met." 

Ruby revealed he quickly ended the interview, which ended up only being five minutes long.  

Ruby previously alleged in an interview with Good Morning Britain that after she had finished filming the documentary in 1998 with OJ, that he phoned her up on April 1st and said: 'It's OJ, I did it. April Fools!'

'After we finished filming, Simpson said to me that he has a surprise for me - and I genuinely was surprised,' Ruby said. 'I think it was his idea of a joke.'

OJ's questionable joke came as she opened her hotel door to him, but the comedian claimed that he was initially looking for a knife. 

She said previously: 'Afterwards, I did a piece to camera saying "I've been fixed up and I don't know who my date is going to be" and I'd open to door and it would be him.

'But when he was out there, all the trays were out there and he was looking for a knife, to fool me when the door was open but there was no knife so he grabbed a banana.'

She recalled their first meeting, claiming he told her his favorite poem was one about Lizzie Borden, an American woman tried and acquitted of the axe murders of her father and stepmother in 1892.

Ruby said she thought she'd be able to get Simpson to admit to the fatal stabbings in 1995 - and even suggested he might want her to bust him for the crime. 

'I think he wanted me to bust him, he said out of nowhere "Want to know what my favorite poem is" and and he went into "Lizzie Borden took an axe, And gave her mother forty whacks; When she saw what she had done, She gave her father forty-one."

OJ died aged 76 last year after a short battle with prostate cancer.
