TV icon Ruby Wax spotted in Edinburgh city centre during fruitless shopping trip

Must read

Actress, comedian and writer Ruby Wax has released a humorous, yet foul-mouthed, video of her searching for her ‘family tartan.’

Posted on TikTok, ‘The Full Wax’ star was spotted at the bottom of Victoria Street at the Grassmarket as she talked to the camera about her struggles in securing a ‘McWax’ tartan.




To her dismay she was not able to find it but did say that she was in her ‘favourite part of the world’ in Scotland where she once taught drama.

However she did make a major faux pas by attributing her slight English twang to spending time in the Scottish capital – something that is sure to irk certain locals.

In her post, which has been viewed almost 30,000 times, she said: “So for some reason I’m in Edinburgh, not doing the festival, just shopping for tartan, looking for my tartan, the MC waxes and nobody’s f***ing got it, not a kilt, not a jacket, not a sporran.

“So here I am in my favourite part of the world, Scotland, where I taught drama. And so that’s why I have the English accent I have today.”
