Amanda Holden has shared her uproarious reaction to Ashley Roberts' surprising admission about their shared toilet habits during Tuesday's edition of I'm A Celebrity All Stars. The former Pussycat Dolls star has returned to the reality television show alongside a star-studded lineup in the new camp located in South Africa.
Bathroom Confessions Spark Camp Laughter
During the recent episode, Ashley made an amusing confession about her and Heart FM colleague Amanda's bathroom schedule while they co-host the Breakfast Show. She revealed how she could easily dash to the toilet while a song was still playing during their radio program.
Ashley told campmates Scarlett Moffatt and David Haye: 'She can poo quicker than anybody I've ever met in my life. She'll have her stiletto heels on from the studio, she'll run between like a link, a song is happening, all of a sudden she's running back, and I'm like 'you did not just s**t', she's like 'yep doing great!'
Amanda's Hilarious Social Media Response
Amanda then reposted a clip of the moment on her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, saying it had left her 'howling' with laughter. She added the word 'howling' along with a poo emoji to emphasize her amusement at the revelation.
As Ashley burst into laughter during the camp conversation, Scarlett told the Bush Telegraph: 'I hope Amanda Holden loves the fact that we are talking about her bowel movements in the bush, because it's making my day go quicker.'
All Stars Competition Heats Up
Meanwhile, Ashley originally appeared on I'm A Celebrity back in 2012, where she placed as runner-up. She and other past campmates are now going head-to-head in the pre-recorded spin-off series in South Africa to be crowned the latest I'm A Celebrity Legend.
Joining her are 2012 campmate David Haye as well as Scarlett Moffatt, Sinitta, Adam Thomas, Sir Mo Farah, Gemma Collins, Seann Walsh, Harry Redknapp, Jimmy Bullard, Beverley Callard and Craig Charles.
Honest Conversations About Motherhood
The episode also featured refreshingly honest conversations about motherhood and personal choices. I'm A Celebrity viewers praised Ashley for admitting that having children 'isn't top of the list' for her at this stage in her life.
On last night's episode, the Pussycat Doll was quizzed by Sinitta, 62. The 1980s singer asked Ashley if being a mum was on the cards for her future. Ashley explained to the camp why having a child wasn't a priority for her right now.
She said: 'It's not the top of the list. I don't know, I think I've just been so driven and I like travelling and I don't feel a strong passion to be a mum.'
Campmates Share Personal Experiences
Sinitta, who has two adopted children, responded: 'I always say to people unless you really, really want to because it takes everything, doesn't it.'
The conversation then sparked Scarlett Moffatt, 35, to talk about the fertility struggles she suffered while trying to conceive her son Jude, who is now two years old. Scarlett said: 'It is your life and too many people become parents who actually shouldn't be parents because they actually they don't really want it.'
The former Gogglebox star later told the Bush Telegraph: 'For me, being a mum has changed my whole life and it's something that I've wanted for so, so long. For other women it isn't and I think, good for Ashley, same as good for me who wanted a child. We all just have to live our best lives however that looks.'
Fertility Struggles Revealed
Scarlett, who is engaged to former police officer Scott Dobinson, went on to tell the camp about her fertility struggles before falling pregnant with Jude. She revealed: 'Me and Scott, we tried for four years to have Jude, it took so long. And then the day we found out I was pregnant, the day after we were going to a fertility clinic.'
She added: 'That happens to loads of people. I think it's because you feel like not stressed but because you think it's going to get sorted. I feel like then when you have one kid, everyone goes to you: 'Are you having another?' And I always feel like going: 'I would love to but it just sometimes doesn't work out that way'. Happy that I just have this one.'
Viewers Applaud Candid Discussions
Viewers took to social media platform X to express their appreciation for the open and honest chat in camp. They wrote comments including: 'Absolutely, some people make a choice not to have children. That's fine too. Let's not shame Ashley for not having kids on top of her list. I say fair play to her.'
Other viewers added: 'People can't afford to have kids these days' and 'I feel like as a society we put too much pressure on women to have kids', highlighting the broader social context of these personal discussions.
The episode successfully blended lighthearted humor about bathroom habits with meaningful conversations about life choices, creating engaging television that resonated with audiences both in camp and at home.
