The latest twist on I’m A Celebrity… South Africa has left fans furious, as Ashley Roberts became the latest star to be eliminated in a controversial decision that many are calling unfair. The dramatic exit came after Ashley, a former runner-up in the 2012 series, was sent home following a tense challenge.
In Wednesday’s nail-biting Keys To Success trial, the celebrities were tasked with guessing the correct order of keys in a sudden-death competition. While Olympic legend Mo Farah completed the challenge in a swift 36 seconds, Ashley struggled, spending over 11 minutes on the puzzle, which ultimately sealed her fate. Despite giving it her all, Ashley’s elimination sparked an outpouring of frustration on social media, with viewers decrying the decision as unjust.

Some fans even blamed former footballer Jimmy Bullard for sabotaging Ashley’s journey, referencing his controversial move in the earlier Rancid Run trial. Jimmy, 47, made a shocking decision to shout, “I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here,” during the trial, which many believe affected the outcome of the competition. The fallout from this caused tension, with Adam Thomas angrily confronting Jimmy over his actions, accusing him of sending him home in an earlier elimination.

Viewers Demand Justice for Ashley:
The outpouring of support for Ashley flooded social media, with many declaring her the true winner of this year’s show. “Ashley deserved to win!! Scarlett should be the winner (again) in my eyes,” one fan posted, while another added, “So Ash is gone because of Jimmy. Gutted Ashley went! She probably would have survived yesterday’s trial.”
“Ashley was brilliant. She threw herself into all the trials, won a load of stars, and brought great energy to the camp. It won’t be the same without her,” another said.
In an emotional moment, Scarlett Moffatt, one of Ashley’s closest campmates, reflected on her exit. “I know it wasn’t long, but I’m gutted for her. She was amazing in every trial, every challenge. She got stuck into camp life, and now it’s not going to be the same without her.”
Ashley’s Final Words:
Despite the disappointment, Ashley left the camp with her head held high, reflecting on her time in the jungle. “As much as I’m bummed to be going out, making it so close to the final four, I feel like I’ve done myself proud,” she said. “I faced my fears, met amazing people, and walked away with memories for life.”
Having entered the competition 14 years after her first appearance, Ashley expressed how much the experience meant to her this time around: “I walked in with a different head on my shoulders, really wanting to prove to myself that I could do it. The camp was cool. That waterfall was magical.”
Sinitta’s Shocking Exit:
But Ashley wasn’t the only star to leave the jungle. Sinitta’s exit came after a dramatic moment in the Dragged Through Hell trial. Paired with Craig Charles, Sinitta struggled to complete the challenging task, and after giving up, the campmates voted for her to leave.
Sinitta, who had returned for her second stint on the show after first competing in 2011, reflected on her time in the jungle. “I feel like a fearless, robust person now, rather than fragile. It’s been like therapy,” she shared. “I feel rejuvenated. It’s been magical, and I’ll cherish this memory forever.”
The Final Five:
With Ashley and Sinitta both eliminated, the final five contestants are Scarlett Moffatt, Craig Charles, Harry Redknapp, Sir Mo Farah, and Adam Thomas. Viewers will soon have their chance to vote for the winner in Friday’s live grand final.
As fans eagerly await the final showdown, it’s clear that the I’m A Celebrity jungle drama is far from over. Who will take home the crown? Only time will tell.
