New jungle romance? Mark Wright and Ashley Roberts spotted flirting at I'm A Celebrity wrap party
|
The 31-year-old singer – who came second in the reality series to EastEnders star Charlie Brooks - was spotted flirting up a storm with the ex-TOWIE star on Saturday night.
After meeting at the wrap party at the Versace hotel on Australia's Gold Coast, the pair and a group of friends, including David Haye, went clubbing together until the early hours.

Ashley has already attracted quite a lot of attention, with I’m A Celebrity presenter Declan Donnelly having a crush on her, as well as ITV2 host Joe Swash, who asked the singer out for a date live on air.
However, it appears that the blonde babe may prefer Mark - who was runner-up last year - after the pair were spotted flirting before and after the party.
I’m A Celebrity campers including Helen Flanagan, Charlie Brooks, Hugo Taylor, Eric Bristow and David Haye left the plush luxury of the Palazzo Versace hotel for a pub in the sleepy surf town of Coolangatta to celebrate the wrap party.

But some of the celebrities didn’t last very long at the free bash to celebrate the end of the series. In fact, Ashley returned to the Palazzo Versace resort after an hour – and was swiftly followed by Essex lothario Mark Wright and his pal.
Mark was in town to appear on the ITV2 jungle spin-off show, where he openly revealed the fact that he had the hots for the Pussycat Doll.
Earlier this week, he chatted about Ashley live on air exclaiming: 'She’s hot!'
In the bar of the Palazzo Versace hotel after the wrap party, our spies spotted the pair downing cocktails – and shots – before being joined by a number of other celebrities from the show.

However, when everyone else decided it was time to go to bed; the two flirts decided to carry on partying.
At 3:30am, the gang was spotted returning to the six-star hotel. They were giggling and merry - and were last seen slipping into a lift.

On Sunday morning, Mark was vocal on Twitter about his late night out: 'I think it's bed time for me now !! 7:16am here #ooops.'
Ashley has made no secret about her desire to find a British lover.
Before entering the jungle, the former Pussycat Doll purred: 'I’m a single lady and I like good-looking, fun men. I don’t think I have a specific type. I just like confident guys with a good sense of humour. I like ambitious, driven men. I like all that good stuff. And British accents are great.'

An onlooker at the party told MailOnline: 'Ashley and Mark were getting on like a house on fire as they celebrated the singer’s first day of freedom.
'Sparks were flying between the smiling stars and the drinks were flowing. At one point, we saw Mark give Ashley a shot and she downed it with ease. It was clear she was interested in the Essex boy.
'The pair didn’t want the party to end, which is why they decided to hit the local clubs for some saucy dancing and a night to remember.
'A new jungle romance is clearly on the cards!'
Ashley is expected to head to the UK shortly to pursue a number of television offers – including a rumoured stint as an X Factor host for the 2013 series.
