I’m A Celebrity Fans React to Ashley Roberts’ Return
Fans of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! were quick to take to social media following Ashley Roberts’ return to the show. The Pussycat Doll, 44, made her appearance on the All Stars edition, where she was reunited with host Dec Donnelly. This moment sparked a wave of nostalgia among fans, who recalled the rumors that Ashley and Dec might have had a romantic connection during her previous stint on the show in 2012.
On X, fans shared their memories of the alleged relationship between Ashley and Dec. Some posted: “Who remembers the days people thought Ashley and Dec were dating?” while others asked, “Anyone else remember that Ashley Roberts and Dec used to be a thing?” One user even questioned, “Do you reckon Dec still fancies Ashley as much as he used to?!” These comments highlighted the long-standing interest in the pair’s dynamic.
A Flirty Exchange from 2012
During her time on the show in 2012, Ashley had a flirty exchange with Dec that left him visibly flustered. In one scene, she spoke about being deprived of physical pleasures in the jungle, saying, “You’re deprived of everything here in the jungle. I can’t stop thinking about it.” She continued, “I’m excited to get out of here and be able to just stimulate all the senses… if you know what I mean.”
Dec responded with a mix of embarrassment and humor, exclaiming, “Oh my gosh. Everything I want to say is unbroadcastable or illegal – or career-ending. Let’s calm down.” This moment became a memorable part of the show, showcasing the chemistry between the two.
The Spin-Off Challenge
The All Stars edition, filmed in the Kruger National Park in South Africa, brings back celebrities who have previously taken part in the original series. Their goal is to be crowned “Legend of the Jungle” once again. Among the returning stars is Ashley Roberts, who has quickly become a fan favorite.
Adam Thomas’s Puzzle Struggle
Elsewhere on the show, actor Adam Thomas faced a challenge that had viewers laughing. During a bungee jump challenge, Adam took an astonishing 10 minutes to complete a puzzle, which left fans in stitches. The Emmerdale star was the team captain for the first challenge, where he and Beverley Callard had to collect puzzle pieces from the edge of a cliff while strapped back to back.
The challenge proved difficult, not because of the platform tilting, but because of the puzzle itself. Despite completing the task in eight minutes and only falling off the platform once, Adam struggled with the puzzle, taking a full 10 minutes to finish. This led to the duo losing the challenge to Ashley Roberts and Mo Farah.
Fan Reactions
The hilarious scenes sparked a flurry of reactions from fans. Many shared their amusement, with comments such as: “Me telling my grandkids about the time I watched Adam Thomas completing a star puzzle on #ImACeleb,” and “10 minutes to do the puzzle, we love you Adam.” Others joked, “Adam needs a 1 piece puzzle next time,” and “Adam Thomas not being able to do the puzzle threw me ngl.”
These moments added to the entertainment of the show, proving that even the most challenging tasks can lead to some of the most memorable moments.
