I'm A Celebrity star Ashley Roberts eliminated from camp and viewers know exactly who to blame
The trial would've never happened if Jimmy Bullard hadn't walked…
I’m A Celebrity South Africa continued on Wednesday (April 22), with Ant and Dec kicking out another campmate at the start of the show.
The ITV spin-off show ends with the live final on Friday night (April 24). And, during the latest show, the next celebrity eliminated from camp was decided by the Keys to Success trial.
Sir Mo Farah won the challenge in just 36 seconds, with Ant and Dec counting down the rest of the results until just two stars were left – Ashley Roberts and Craig Charles…
I’m A Celebrity South Africa star Ashley eliminated
After the obligatory ad break, it was announced that Pussycat Doll Ashley lost the trial and would be the next campmate to leave.
Her ‘Bush Sister’ Scarlett Moffatt looked bereft, and so were the viewers watching at home who were desperate to see her in tomorrow night’s Celebrity Cyclone challenge.
“Gutted for Ashley, she really deserved to be in that final!” said one. Another added: “I was expecting Ashley to be in the final.” A third commented: “Real shame Ashley has left. If this was a public vote, she would have stayed in until the live final.”
“Gutted for Ashley. She was supposed to get to the final and would be if we were voting,” another said. “I’m so sad we lose Ashley before the Cyclone – she would have been amazing,” said another.
Craig and Jimmy under fire
However, others blasted Craig for his behaviour directly after Ashley was eliminated. As she was saying her goodbyes, he shouted out to ask how long it took him to complete the trial!

“Wow, Craig Charles really has no regard for anyone but himself. It was just announced that Ashley is leaving and all he cares about what his time?” said one viewer.
Others blamed Jimmy Bullard – who decided to leave on Tuesday night’s show – for her exit. “Jimmy basically sent Ashley home. This challenge had to happen as his exit meant there were odd number of celebs so needed to be even to resume pairs, another favourite gone for no fault of own,” said one.
Others felt the same. “Ashley going out on a trial they wouldn’t be doing had Jimmy not been a [bleep] the day before,” said another. “So Ash is also gone because of Jimmy,” a third commented. “Jimmy will pay for this,” another said menacingly.
Sinitta quits the trial
No sooner had the dust settled on Ashley’s exit and Sinitta decided that she couldn’t complete her trial. She was paired up with Craig Charles and, as she shouted “I’m a celebrity – get me out of here”, what did it mean for him?
Well, Ant and Dec explained that, had the trial played out as planned, the winning team would’ve picked one of the losing team to head home. Adam and Scarlett were ahead in the challenge, so they were given the task of deciding whether Sinitta or Craig would head home.
They picked Sinitta, as she was the one who uttered the immortal words. And the decision was on that viewers decided was “fair”.
“Sinitta was the right choice to go there,” said one. “It had to be Sinitta. That’s only fair,” another agreed.
