Ashley Roberts, originally from Arizona, is a singer and radio personality who rose to fame as a member of the Pussycat Dolls. She performed with the group from 2001 to 2010, and rejoined when they briefly reunited in 2019.
Starting in March 2026, she’s back with the Pussycat Dolls, now as a group of three—half of the original lineup. They’ve released a new song and are heading out on a world tour.
She’s also become a familiar face on television, appearing on Ant & Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway for three years starting in 2013 and as a judge on Dancing on Ice. She was a finalist on Strictly Come Dancing and has also been featured on Celebrity Gogglebox.
She began working with Heart Radio in 2019, initially as part of Amanda Holden’s program, and now hosts Heart 00s as of 2022.
What season of I’m a Celebrity was Ashley Roberts on?
In 2012, Ashley Roberts finished second on the Australian version of I’m a Celebrity, losing out to Charlie Brooks, who starred in the soap opera EastEnders.
Why is Ashley Roberts returning to I’m a Celebrity?
Ashley said her first appearance on the show in 2012 was life-changing, so when she was invited back to ‘I’m a Celeb,’ she immediately agreed.
I suspected things would be chaotic when I received the call, but the opportunity was too good to pass up, so I accepted.
I’m excited and a little nervous about the challenges ahead, but I know being on this show is invigorating and makes you feel incredibly powerful.
She admitted she was anxious about the trip, saying, “I didn’t get much sleep before coming to South Africa.”
My boyfriend has been wonderfully supportive and encouraging, especially since I’ve been really anxious. He’s constantly telling me I’ll do great, which means a lot to me. I just want to do my best.
I’m a Celebrity… South Africa returns on Monday 6 April at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
