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.
