Helen Flanagan's I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! campmates Linda Robson and David Haye struggled to contain their contempt after the former Coronation Street actress confessed she had never done her own washing.
As soon as Ashley Roberts arrived back in camp caked in slime having won eight stars in the latest bushtucker trial, she was understandably desperate to get in the shower.
Ashley then asked her fellow campers if they had seen her clean towel and an apologetic Helen confessed she had had taken it by mistake.
The former Pussycat Doll then asked the Corrie babe to clean the towel, prompting Helen to turn to her fellow campmates for advice on how to go about the challenge.
Shocked by her uselessness, David said: 'We asked her if she'd ever cleaned a towel in her house and she laughed hysterically.
'She said "no I send it to the dry cleaners". Who sends a towel to the dry cleaners to be washed?'
An equally taken aback Linda, added: 'I just assumed that everyone coming in here would have washed their undies or washed a towel before in their life. But no, Helen hadn't. But she has now.'
Helen said afterwards: 'I nicked Ashley's towel, but I didn't mean to. I would never do it on purpose. I think she was quite p***** about it.'
And it's no wonder Ashley was so eager to get cleaned up having been forced to root through rotting meat and fish guts as she worked her through a bug-infested train in an attempt to win ten meals for camp.
And although she missed out on two stars, Ashley was thrilled with her efforts.
'I did good,' she raved as she tried to hug Ant and Dec afterwards.
'I'm pleased - the snakes were terrible, the goo, the textures, darkness, cockroaches, I might rest for a few days now.'
And for her impressive effort the camp rewarded her with a phone call home.
The celebrities were told that one of them would be allowed to get in touch with their loved ones and decided that Ashley was the most deserving because her parents - based in the US - were not travelling to Australia to meet her and were unable to watch the programme on TV.
She said later: 'That was good to hear a voice and they can't see what I'm doing in here and my family will be so proud of me so it was good to hear her.
'I mean today jumping on that train and living out here in the camp and not having all the products and everything.
'Everybody was so gracious enough to let me have the phone call. I know Charlie wanted to speak to her kid. Everybody was very supportive and that meant so much to me and my mom even too,' she gushed.
