Ash and Kris’ hot jungle romance!

When a group of celebs are marooned together in the South African jungle, romance is bound to blossom, right?

That’s what the I’m a Celebrity…Get me Out of Here! cast members reckon – and all eyes are on former MKR contestant Ash Pollard and Dannii Minogue’s ex Kris Smith.

Some of the more eagle-eyed contestants have spotted Ash getting her flirt on with the buff model, and because they’re clearly bored out of their brains as they lay around the campsite, decided to call her on it.

“How’s your romance going?” Lisa Curry queried, much to Ash’s embarrassment. “Oh my god we are not even playing this card!” she said defensively.

Nat Bassingthwaite was less than impressed with Ash’s coy reaction. “What?! That’s boring. You’re two singles, you should just do it.”

Ash eventually concedes that she was “perving” while Kris did his daily workout.

“I’ll make a move,” she joked. “When he and I are the last people in camp and you’ve all been voted off, then I’ll make my move!”

Later on, Nat decides to do a bit of research, and puts Kris on the spot about all things romance.

“Kris, why don’t you have a girlfriend?” She may be in the jungle, but Nat’s not beating around the bush with this one!

Kris is surprisingly frank about his past, and the chat turns into a bit of a D&M about his past relationships and 'insecurities' about being a 'fat kid'.

Wonder if Ash was hiding behind a bush listening to this revealing intel?

Let's hope these two stay in the jungle long enough for romance to really blossom. We're already shipping #Krash!
