Ashley Roberts has spoken of her heartbreak over the drama that overshadowed Adam Thomas' victory in the I'm A Celebrity… South Africa final. The Pussycat Dolls star said she hopes the Waterloo Road actor can take a moment to enjoy his win, but fears he may feel undeserving after the heated exchanges that marred the live finale.
The final was overshadowed by tensions between Adam, David Haye and Jimmy Bullard. Jimmy quit the show after a row with Adam, which initially meant Adam would leave too. However, campmates deemed it 'unfair', allowing Adam to continue, but the drama escalated when Jimmy shared his version of events, causing Sinitta and Gemma Collins to storm off.
Speaking on the after-show, I'm A Celebrity... Unpacked Live, Ashley said: 'I hope Adam enjoys it, I think he's been through so much, and I just hope that he can take a second, because I feel like he doesn't feel like he maybe deserves it because he's won.' Scarlett Moffatt echoed her sentiments, calling it 'disheartening that he didn't get to have that moment of glory.'
Gemma Collins also weighed in, saying: 'The best man won! It was positive, like what is such a shame about tonight… We had such an amazing experience in there. We had a ball. It was tough, it was raw, it was hard.' She added: 'It was fun and I just don't get where the negativity is coming from.'
