Known for sharing her outspoken opinions as a regular guest on This Morning, Ashley James admits she has absolutely no plans to tone down when it comes to those fiery TV debates and as she tells new, she's doing it all for her children.

The 37-year-old TV personality and former model got her first taste of fame as a cast member of Made In Chelsea, but these days she is more often seen alongside Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard on This Morning, where she reviews the news, advocates for women and is frequently open about her own struggles through motherhood, mental health and everything in between.

"I feel very privileged to be on This Morning - it's one of the most exciting daytime shows and I love everyone I work with," says Ashley, as we chat at the London premiere of Cirque Du Soleil's new show, Corteo. "I've learned so much from Cat and Ben - they're amazing and have been so nice. I've known Ben for years but I'd never met Cat before doing the show and she's got such a friendly, amazing energy. She treats everyone the same from the green room to the set and is a joy to work with. She's also one of my childhood crushes!"
