Ashley Roberts speaks out on ‘really tough’ I’m A Celeb experience after being evicted from camp

Pussycat Dolls star Ashley Roberts has been evicted from I’m A Celebrity… South Africa.

The American singer, a runner-up in the 2012 series, lasted 12 days in camp before being eliminated for being the slowest to complete a challenge puzzle.

Speaking to presenters Ant and Dec after being evicted she said: “I’m very gutted I didn’t see it til the end. In my head I was like, I know this is challenging and tough. I mean, y’all stepped it up a few notches.

Speaking about her fellow campmates, which included former Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt, actress Beverley Callard, and Olympian Sir Mo Farah, she said: “I loved them all. Everybody had their own magic.

“I feel really lucky being through this crazy experience with the group that I had.”

She said the all-star series was “really tough” compared with her first stint on the show in 2012.

She said: “The challenges and trials were really tough. It wasn’t just one eyeball, it wasn’t just one smoothie. I mean, Craig (Charles) did 30 something shots of blood and guts and brain.”

“I am proud of myself. I faced some of my fears.

“I am taking away friendships, memories and singing and dancing to Lovely Day on my birthday.”

The singer said she hopes Sir Mo will be crowned king during the highly anticipated finale on Friday.

I’m A Celebrity… South Africa airs on weeknights at 9pm on ITV1, STV, ITVX and STV Player.
