Made in Chelsea’s Ashley James to join upcoming series of Celebrity Big Brother
ASHLEY James is the latest star to sign up for the upcoming series of Celebrity Big Brother.
Channel 5 bosses are hoping the former Made in Chelsea star, 30, will bring drama and spill secrets on her famous pals – including her fling with Britain’s Got Talent judge David Walliams.
She will join the likes of Apprentice hunk Andrew Brady, 26, and Boris Johnson’s sister Rachel when the show returns in January.
A TV source said: “As she proved when she was on Made in Chelsea Ashley is a fiery character and a real party girl.
“Producers were eager to sign her up to stir up some arguments and have some fun in the house with what is set to be a standout series.
“She is also single so there is a chance she could find love in the house when the boys enter the show.”
Ashley was linked with David in 2015 following his divorce from model Lara Stone after five years of marriage.
The pair were spotted having cosy dinners in London’s West End and pictures showed them looking close together.
Ashley rose to fame when she briefly appeared on Made in Chelsea in 2013.
She found her place on the show after being introduced to producers by long running star of the series Francis Boulle.

She went on to have a fling with Ollie Locke before leaving the reality show to pursue a career as a TV presenter.
Earlier this year Ashley became embroiled in a war of words with Made in Chelsea's Spencer Matthews over his decision to sign up for The Jump.
She suggested that he needed to focus on "real issues" rather than sign up to a reality show.
