Who is Ashley James? Evicted Celebrity Big Brother 2018 star and Made in Chelsea lass
CELEBRITY Big Brother 2018 is well underway and this year the show launched with an all-female cast for the first time in its long history.
One of the ladies to enter the house was the ex Made in Chelsea lass Ashley James – but she was evicted days before the final. Here is the lowdown on Ash...
Who is Ashley James?
Thirty-year-old Ashley's big break came on E4 hit Made in Chelsea, which she briefly appeared in back in 2013.
Ashley is also known for being linked to Britain's Got Talent judge and Little Britain star David Walliams.
She 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 rather close together.
And Ashley recently showed she is willing to stand up for herself (fellow housemates take note) after getting into a war of words with Made in Chelsea's Spencer Matthews.
She criticised the legendary ladies man after he signed up for The Jump and suggested he needed to focus on the "real issues".
The row began after Ashley tweeted: "Do not mistake terrorism for religion. I'm proud to live in a multicultural world, and hope to keep fighting hate with love."
Spencer then responded by telling Ashley: "Do not mistake yourself for the Dalai Lama..."

What did Ashley say before Celebrity Big Brother?
The Sun revealed she was heading for CBB in December with a TV source saying: "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 hoped to be a hit with the public like her Chelsea pal Georgia Toffolo, who won I’m A Celebrity.
She said: “There's much more to me than what’s been seen.”
