Ashley Roberts Stumbles Upon Naked David Haye in Shower on I'm A Celebrity South Africa
In a hilarious and awkward moment on Friday's episode of I'm A Celebrity... South Africa, former Pussycat Doll star Ashley Roberts was left utterly horrified after accidentally walking in on a naked David Haye mid-shower. The incident, which aired on April 10, provided a light-hearted break from the intense Bushtucker Trials, including one featuring Beverley Callard and Mo Farah.
Unforgettable Encounter Sparks Camp Laughter
Ashley Roberts, 44, recounted the embarrassing scene to fellow contestant Scarlett Moffatt, explaining that she had gone to brush her teeth only to find the boxer washing himself. The pair burst into laughter as they discussed the unexpected encounter, with Scarlett jokingly suggesting she might follow in Ashley's footsteps to catch a glimpse herself. In the Bush Telegraph, Ashley quipped, 'Hayemaker’s buns… I’m glad he was turned in that direction. It did tickle me though.'
Trials and Tensions Dominate Camp Dynamics
Meanwhile, the episode saw Beverley Callard and Mo Farah take on the Match Me If You Can trial, where they had to memorise a sequence of animals while jumping from a plane at 10,000 feet and relay it to Ashley and Scarlett, chosen for their good memory. Additionally, tensions from previous episodes simmered, particularly between Beverley and David Haye. After David sent Beverley to the basic Savannah Scrub camp during the launch episode, she confronted him, warning, 'Up yours, I will get my own back,' and later told Adam Thomas she planned to 'chin him.'
Fan Backlash and Camp Villain Label
David Haye's decision to send Beverley to the less comfortable camp sparked significant fan backlash, with some dubbing him the 'camp villain.' Reports indicated that his Wikipedia page was briefly edited to highlight the move, though it was quickly reverted. Friends of David defended his actions, stating to The Sun that it was a logical survival choice, not personal malice, as he aimed to keep the strongest team members. However, comedian Seann Walsh expressed outrage in the Savannah Scrub camp, exclaiming, 'That guy does not give a s**t.'
Other Highlights and Future Episodes
The episode also teased the arrivals of Harry Redknapp and Jimmy Bullard, while earlier in the week, Gemma Collins struggled during The Petrifying Plunge trial, panicking about being shut in water tanks. As the camps united, awkward moments persisted, setting the stage for ongoing drama. I'm A Celebrity... South Africa continues on ITV1 and ITVX, promising more surprises and challenges for the celebrities.
