Ashley Roberts, the Heart FM radio presenter, is reportedly in talks to recreate her iconic jungle bikini showers on ITV‘s I’m A Celeb All Stars series. The 43-year-old Pussycat Dolls singer is believed to have been approached by ITV bosses for the popular spin-off programme, officially known as I’m A Celebrity South Africa.
Ashley first appeared on the star-studded series in 2012, where she formed a playful friendship with co-host Declan Donnelly, leading to rumours that the pair were “getting to know each other.
A source close to the programme told The Sun about Ashley’s potential return to I’m A Celebrity for All Stars: “Producers would love to see Ashley head back to camp. She’s warm, hilarious and of course, drop dead gorgeous.”
They added: “Just like Myleene Klass, who won the first All Stars series back in 2023, Ashley had some iconic moments soaping up in the outback waterfall.”

The insider continued: “Stripping back down to her swimwear on TV again netted Myleene some very lucrative deals after the show, and it’s sure to do the same for Ashley if she makes the final line-up.”, reports the Mirror.
ITV has been contacted by The Mirror for comment.
Before settling down with his current wife Ali Astall, I’m A Celebrity co-host Dec was rumoured to have had a soft spot for Ashley. Although any romantic feelings between them have long since faded, they appear to have remained on good terms, with Ashley congratulating her former flame when he proposed to Ali in 2014.
She previously told The Mirror: “I got to see both the boys [in Australia] it was Ant’s birthday while I was there and I got to say congratulations to Declan. I’m happy for him.”
Back in 2012, Dec reportedly had a soft spot for the singer and dancer when they shared a somewhat flirtatious exchange on I’m A Celeb. During her stint on the show, Ashley frequently mentioned her sexual cravings, telling Dec and co-host Ant McPartlin: “You’re deprived of everything here in the jungle. I can’t stop thinking about it.
“I’m excited to get out of here and be able to just stimulate all the senses – if you know what I mean.”
A blushing Dec appeared lost for words, admitting: “Oh my gosh. Everything I want to say is unbroadcastable or illegal – or career-ending. Let’s calm down.”
The TV host then set up a pretend scenario where he asked Ashley to join him at the wrap party as his date, with her showing equal eagerness to “get to know him better”.
“It would be nice to go for a drink and a chat,” she said. After Dec’s romance with Ashley ended, he met Ali, who became his wife and mother to their two children, four year old Isla and three-month-old Jack.
