Hi Guys

Thanks for sticking with me for another year.

Seems I've had a mixed year with highs and lows, but a very busy one too. One of the problems with ADHD is that I forget what I've done after a few months, so I've had to check the diary to see what I got up to in the first half of this year, and it was mostly commercial stuff (property and suchlike) with one or two trips to the sun to recharge my battery.

One thing I do definitely remember though was that, as Summer approached, I took a weight loss drug and discovered the hard way that I'd been sold fake tablets. I won't bore you with the details but suffice to say I was really very poorly. It made me determined to get the warning out to others about the real dangers of counterfeit weight loss tablets and in the past few months I've hopefully got the message out via Disney+, ITV, Channel 5, and ABC in USA, with recently filmed BBC and Australian Broadcasting Corp programmes on the dangers coming shortly.

On a lighter note I've also filmed a couple of new entertainment programmes in the past few months which should air in the first quarter of 2026.

This Christmas I'm going to be with close friends, meaning someone else doing the cooking this year! Whatever you are doing this festive season, I hope you are all able to relax and have a great time.

Merry Chrimbo and a Happy New Year to you all.

Lots of love

Hey guys

Thanks for following another year of my journey.

As 2025 approaches, and I'm looking back at the past 12 months, it's safe to say that I'm not going to be sad to see the back of 2024. When I was hosting a Christmas Day Dinner for a handful of close friends last year, I could never have imagined that I would lose two of them at such young ages by sudden illness midway through this past year. Life is so short....

There have been plenty of highlights, though! I will remember the photoshoot in Brazil, my girlfriend's wedding week in Malta and spending quality time back with my Mexican friends.

On the property side things are going well, though with ups and downs as happens. I'm currently purchasing another flat which I have yet to see, which seems to the trend with me. On the other hand, one of my flats was among a number of properties flooded in November when the Thames Water main supply for the district burst. My tenants lost a lot of belongings and have had to be rehoused for 3 months while their home is dried out and restored.

Unfortunately all of this has affected my availability for media activities this year, apart from some TV appearances and the usual magazine interviews. I was gutted when forced to turn down a TV series as I couldn't be available for all the required filming dates. However, I will always find time for my Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother columns, I really enjoy them, especially stirring things up a bit!

New Years resolution - delegate more!

I hope you all have a great Christmas.

Love you lots.

Hi guys

So another year is coming to an end, thank you so much for sticking with me through the years, it means so much to me.

Ahead of starting to write this, I couldn't recall anything particularly noteworthy this past year. But then checking my diary I see that in 2023 I've been to seven different countries for work and in between that I've worked on 11 different TV series, including another one I'm due to do between this Christmas and New Year's Eve. So I've not been completely idle!

The highlight of the past few months must be the return of Big Brother and my Mirror column, I just wish the series had been longer. I can't wait for the return of Celebrity Big Brother in the first quarter of next year.

Wishing you all the most amazing 2024, let's hope it's a great year!

Lots of love, as always.

Hey my loves, how are you?

I love you all very much and pray that you are all healthy and happy.

What a year! Whenever I pick up a newspaper, it just seems to be more doom and gloom. Which makes it even more important that this year we all let our hair down and have a great festive season. I hope you are all really getting into the Christmas spirit.

Looking back this past 12 months from a personal viewpoint, I've had good times and low points. There have been several highlights and I find it hard to pick any one in particular. However number one low point definitely has to be my tonsillectomy in September, (though being carted off by ambulance to hospital in April after some nutter drove into me while I was filming at a kart track comes a close second!). Why is having your tonsils removed such a breeze for kids but feels like a near death experience for adults? I was laid up in agony for nearly a fortnight afterwards.

Unfortunately my commercial interests mean I seem to have hardly any time for attending events and evenings out these days, plus I need to have a clear head in the mornings now!

I've really enjoyed my regular TV discussion show appearances this year, especially when I disagree with the other panelists! Reviewing the daily papers as they come hot off the press is fun too. Talking about the telly, a heads-up... I filmed a new celebrity reality series in the late summer, not allowed to say any more right now but keep an eye on the Channel 5 schedules early next year....

Merry chrimbo whatever you're up to this year.

Lots of love

Well....

There's no getting away from the fact that this year has been a tough one for so many of us. I don't know about you guys, but I've never felt so un-christmassy before, even when I didn't celebrate it as a child.

We seem to have lost so many this year too, including Nikki which really tore my heart apart.

However we're now on the cusp of a new year so let's think positively and try to make next year a better one.

"Dream it. Believe it. Achieve it."

Thank you so much for your continued support throughout this past year. Looking ahead to next year I'm really excited to be back working with some old friends early in 2022. I hope everyone enjoys watching the result this time around as much as before.

Merry Christmas everybody, and a Happy New Year to you all.

Love always

Ash
