Ashley Roberts couldn’t wipe the smile off her face as she enjoyed a romantic date night with her boyfriend George Rollinson on Saturday.
The Pussycat Dolls star, 44, took to her Instagram Stories as the loved-up couple dined at swanky Italian restaurant Nina in London’s Marylebone.
Roberts looked stylish in an oversized leather jacket which she teamed with kooky shades while sipping a glass of champagne.
Meanwhile artist George, 26, wore a shirt and baseball cap as he was seen perusing the pricey menu.
Ashley, who has been dating George since late 2023, shared a snap of her hunky man with the caption ‘Hey you’ along with a dribbling emoji.
It comes after the star said she still hadn’t recovered from her I’m A Celebrity… South Africa experience after last week’s ‘unhinged’ live final ended ‘like a scene from The Jerry Springer Show’.

She reunited with her campmates for the final instalment, recorded live at London’s Apollo Theatre, on Friday evening, months after filming the bulk of the show at South Africa’s Kruger National Park in September.
But she found herself caught between aggrieved ex-footballer Jimmy Bullard and former boxer David Haye as they reignited a furious row with eventual winner Adam Thomas.
‘It was unhinged! I felt like I was on a Jerry Springer show,’ Roberts, 44, told Heart Radio co-hosts Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston on Monday.
‘It was just unbelievable! People were walking off and there were hands flying everywhere, there was yelling, emotions and crying, it was wild! I don’t feel like I’m fully recovered if I’m honest with you.
‘Everybody was trying to say their piece, but David [Haye] and Jimmy [Bullard] came in with a mission, I’ll just say that.’
Thomas had accused Bullard of almost causing his elimination from the camp, reigniting a spat which began when the ex-midfielder refused to do a Bushtucker Trial challenge, putting both of their positions at risk as they were partnered up.
And Roberts was caught in the crossfire from her place alongside Haye as the hulking former boxer combined with Bullard to publicly attack the actor.
‘I was just trying to dodge big man hands flying in my face,’ she recalled. ‘I thought at one point I was going to get smacked.

‘It was absolute chaos. It’s a shame really because Adam did become the legend and I don’t think he was even able to enjoy it because of all of the drama that went on.
‘He had a really tough time in there and it was unfortunate that they had a moment to discuss things as adults and maybe clear the air a little bit. But instead, it was yelling and unfortunate behaviour.’
Holden admitted she was appalled by Friday’s scenes, describing both Bullard and Haye as “just horrific and just absolutely awful.”
‘Not all of the men I should say. Adam [Thomas], Harry [Redknapp] and Craig [Charles] there’s different things going on.’
Roberts added: ‘I was disappointed and my heart hurt a bit inside because there’s so much going on in the world and for us to then treat each other like that. We all went through this really tough experience, and we all could have sat and discussed as adults.
‘It’s a TV show and it’s supposed to be entertaining, and I was just a little bit disappointed by their behaviour.’
Roberts also accused Haye, a divisive character during his time in camp, of exaggerating his aggressive character for the benefit of ITV viewers.
‘I was angry because I was seeing the way these men were speaking to one another and it made me really sad,’ she said.
‘Because the world is a crazy place already and I feel like David was maybe trying to go in there with this persona to entertain people, but I think it really affected Adam.’
