Gil Ofarim shares personal struggles in Dschungelcamp, avoids scandal talk

On the second day of RTL's 2026 Dschungelcamp in Australia, celebrities revealed personal fates, including Gil Ofarim discussing financial and health issues while sidestepping his 2021 antisemitism scandal. Other participants like Hardy Krüger jr. and Mirja du Mont shared emotional experiences with loss and anxiety disorders. A challenge attempt failed, leaving the camp with beans and rice.

The 19th season of 'I'm a Celebrity – Get Me Out of Here!' began on January 23, 2026, on Australia's east coast near Murwillumbah. On the second day, January 24, conversations in the camp quickly turned to profound topics. Participants discussed alcohol issues, addiction, clinic stays, anxiety disorders, infidelity, and age gaps in relationships.

Gil Ofarim, the 43-year-old Israeli musician fined in the 2021 'Star of David affair' for false antisemitism claims against a Leipzig hotel, dodged questions about the incident. 'I'm not here to unwind that again,' he stated clearly. Reality star Ariel, 22, criticized sharply: 'What he did, no good person can do. Can't, won't. No.' Ofarim opened up on other burdens: He reported financial difficulties, lack of jobs, trouble paying bills, a clinic stay for alcohol problems, moving from Munich, and seeing his children less often. He referred to a non-disclosure agreement on follow-ups.

Actor Hardy Krüger jr., 57, recounted the sudden death of his eight-month-old son: 'I resuscitated him for an hour and a half.' Afterward, he struggled with grief and alcohol issues but found solace in talking: 'And it just feels good to talk about it sometimes.' Actress Mirja du Mont, 50, discussed her relationship with 78-year-old Sky du Mont, a resulting anxiety disorder, and a clinic stay. 'You are not alone,' she addressed those affected.

The camp is divided into two areas: The main camp with seven celebs and the smaller 'Snake Rock' with five. Both are near the Gold Coast on private land in Dungay. A challenge attempt by Ariel and Hubert Fella, 57, failed: 'No food again,' Fella lamented. The group hopes for better chances.
