Honest: The former Made In Chelsea star, shared how being sent unwanted sexual messages online previously made her 'cover up to avoid unwanted attention' '4. I get it, boobs are attractive. But just because someone has boobs, especially big boobs it doesn’t give you a right to point them our [sic] or comment on them to us. It’s kind of demeaning. Please just go have a cold shower. '5. Girls can complement my boobs and body as much as they want. It means more because girls can be judgemental, so it means a lot when we give each other love. If I ever expressed displeasure at the size of my boobs of the attention they got, girls used to presume I was seeking attention by saying it. So now, girls who compliment me make my day.'

'I'm so happy': Ashley recently celebrated being single and admitted that the time alone has 'allowed her to love herself' 'Your relationship status can change all the time, it's not necessarily a good or a bad thing: it's just a thing that happens. The time alone has allowed me to really learn and love myself, and also love and invest in my friendships. 'You're made to feel like there's something lacking but love is literally all around you and you can do pretty fun things with your friends if you give them the same energy. 'Plus, I've set some ground rules. Being single does not mean I shouldn't be treated as an adult entitled to the same independence as my friends in relationships. No I don't want to sleep in a child's room or on your sofa. 'Love and invest in my friendships': The ex MIC star took to her Instagram to inspire her followers to 'search for the love all around them from friends and family' 'No I don't want to share a bed, or be set up with your creepy cousin. I'll get a hotel or not come at all. If you want to ask me personal questions about my relationship status and happiness, I will ask you equally as encroaching questions about yours.✨.' 'I've only learnt all this in the last few months. I used to think people were lying if they didn't actively want / need someone else. But honestly, once you realise being single is fabulous, you'll start to date people who are actually good for you. And speak up and walk away quicker if they're less than up to standard, because you're perfectly fine without them,' Ashley continued.
