He did, he's engaged to an Italian model called Sharon Canu and they have 2 kids and live somewhere in the UK together.She basically had no choice I think, Simon told her to dump Ashley or she could kiss the nations sweetheart tag and the X factor job goodbye.
I think she probably regrets listening to him as they’d still be married probably with lots of kids, and be on Real Housewives of Cheshire.
Maybe she’d be happier than living and being branded as a has- been recluse? Who knows, but I imagine that Simon Cowell’s advice will always benefit him, not the asker.
Ashley never remarried did he?
Their eldest child was born within days or Bear apparently
