Ashley Roberts misses finale after gruelling trial defeat

Ashley Roberts was left “gutted” after crashing out of I'm A Celebrity... South Africa just days before the final in a dramatic jungle shake-up.

The former Pussycat Doll became the first casualty of Wednesday night’s episode after struggling through the brutal “Keys to Success” trial. 

Taking a painful 11 minutes and 23 seconds to finish, Ashley was completely outpaced by Olympic hero Mo Farah, who stunned campmates by completing the challenge in just 36 seconds.

Speaking after her exit, she kept her sense of humour, joking Mo could’ve “made a snack, had a cup of tea and phoned a friend” while she was still working it out. 

But behind the laughs, she admitted she was desperate to reach the end and called the experience “wild” and unforgettable.

The drama didn’t end there, as Sinitta also saw her jungle dreams dashed. 

After quitting the terrifying “Dragged Through Hell” trial, her fellow campmates chose to save Craig Charles instead, sealing her fate.

A reflective Sinitta later confessed she had been “terrified” all along, admitting her confident persona was more bravado than reality. 

“I’ve been kicking myself,” she said, wishing she had pushed through the fear.

Now, the competition is down to the final five, Craig, Scarlett Moffatt, Mo, Adam Thomas and Harry Redknapp, as they prepare to face the legendary Celebrity Cyclone.

Hosts Ant and Dec have promised the showdown will be “bigger and badder”, setting the stage for an explosive jungle finale.
