Ashley Roberts, known for her time with the Pussycat Dolls, opened up about the impact the show had on her: “I didn’t know how much I’m A Celebrity was going to affect me. This show changed my life.” After competing in the jungle, Ashley moved to the UK and even joined Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway. For Ashley, this wasn’t just a reality show; it was the beginning of a new chapter in her life.

Scarlett Moffatt, who gained fame through Gogglebox and later worked with I’m A Celeb hosts Ant and Dec, echoed similar sentiments, saying: “I have everything to thank this show for.” For Scarlett, I’m A Celebrity was a turning point in her career, marking the first solo project she’d ever taken on.
