I’m a Celebrity Ashley Roberts wants a date with Declan Donnelly

I’m A Celebrity runner-up Ashley Roberts has revealed that she would like to have a date with the shows host, Declan Donnelly.

The former Pussycat Doll said that she was flattered to learn that the programme’s co-host has a crush on her.

“All I know about him is he made me eat a fish eyeball,” Roberts told The Sun.

“But it’s really flattering that he said nice things, because I did not feel attractive in the jungle.

“I was all disgusting and gross. Your nails get full of dirt and you get a black ring inside your nostrils from all the grime, which is not cute at all. So I don’t know how anyone ended up liking me, but it’s nice.

“I think everything happens for a reason and when my man comes along, he comes along. I’d like to get to know Dec better. It would be nice to go for a drink and a chat.”

Donnelly spoke of his attraction for the star on the ITV show, after she told campmates she was looking for a relationship.

Joking at the time he said: “Oh my gosh. Everything I want to say is unbroadcastable or illegal – or career-ending. Let’s calm down.”
The TV presenter has been single for 18 months following his split from Sky Sports F1 presenter Georgie Thompson.

Roberts added that she wouldn’t rule out a relationship with a fellow celebrity, saying: “I feel independent and strong on my own. If I meet a guy I want to invest time in, that’s an added bonus.

“I like a guy that can make me laugh and be open-minded, who is active and loves travelling. They can’t take themselves seriously, because life’s too short.

“There’s a part of me that likes the idea of having someone who isn’t in showbiz, because sometimes it’s enough with just you having to deal with fame.

“But you never know who you’re going to fall in love with. And I can’t say I won’t fall in love with somebody because they are famous.”
