Glasgow's nightlife in the early 1980s was still flying the flag for disco, bell bottoms and oversized lapels, and it was outside the local club in Shettleston where Ashley's parents met for the first time, starting the story that led to an unexpected marriage and a family feud that was never resolved.

As a self-identifying 'save the marriage' baby, Ashley grew up in a pub in the Calton area of Glasgow, performing songs and putting on shows for the drinkers on a Saturday afternoon. Her love for the spotlight often interrupted fights, and eventually led to her first job in showbiz; dramatic overacting will get you anywhere.
