Dancing on ice starts in Jan! Wonder if Ashley is going to be a judge? The pics posted above and even one posted on the Naomi thread from 2021, he looks like a really beaten man! No genuine happiness there, I wonder if he's got mental battles he's facing. Could explain why Fran remains so supportive still

Whatever it is at least they’re still able to get along and do stuff as a family and support each other. A lot of people wouldn’t be able to do that plus still work for him I have respect for both of them for that. Plus Fran seems to be doing amazing with those kids not like nay
On perri’s post for Jord, Ash had his wedding ring on at the wedding.
I feel like maybe it’s been a ‘break’ which they’ve now confirmed is best to just separate

On the story Jordan had posted today if him making Ash jump, Ash still had his wedding ring on
It’s on his right hand not left I think?
Looks like his left to me?

Frans latest pic!! Squad 
It’s the weirdest split ever and I really don’t understand the timing of their announcement as without it there’d be no indication they weren’t still together, particularly as Ashley often doesn’t appear in family videos/stories and has been busy with panto. Either she’s clinging on for dear life, trying to wind up another woman or... I don’t know what. I’m not even sure if it’s healthy or not at this point!Frans latest pic!! Squad
perhaps now the panto is over he’s planning on taking a holiday with the new partner... assuming there is one...
If she is the one clinging on why has he still got his wedding ring on?
Its all very weird
Because they’re not a ‘squad’ anymore and I suspect she’ll be dropped like a hot cake when there’s a serious new woman (or new child) on the scene. I mean, they could have spent the last 18 months at each other’s throats and have moved past that but honestly neither of them are demonstrating any boundaries in the separation. I divorced my husband after 11 years of marriage- together since we were 17 so I get how Fran feels with regard to his family being her family- and although it was my decision and amicable in terms of no affairs etc it was still tit to have to carve up our life and finances and it was impossible for us to spend any family time together without pangs of what could have been - it was really hurtful. The first time he came to pick up the kids without his wedding ring on I cried for hours. The first time I wasn’t invited to a family meal stung because it felt like his family had picked a side. Everytime we would get on for a few hours (and have sex, because that felt comfortable) it set us back in terms of moving on. It’s also confused our kids and have the eldest false hope of reconciliation. I appreciate everyone is different but I think they are far from the norm and they need some distance from each other to be able to grieve the end of their relationship/life as they imagined it.
I hope that Fran has an outlet in real life to cry and scream and say hateful things about him. As I said before I also really hope she has a tit hot lawyer and gets a fair deal in the divorce - she’s built diversity with him and enabled his career whilst looking after his kids (and possibly reputation) . Ashley strikes me as a man who wouldn’t want to halve his assets and its hard to separate emotions from the practicalities in a divorce - unfortunately the gloves have to come off at some point.
I do think they trialled a separation and have now made it public as they’ve decided to split is right. I do think the ring wearing is weird but I’ve seen a lot of other people do it, perhaps because it’s such a significant thing to wear, it also quite significant when you stop wearing it?
It could also be the media knew and were pressuring them so they wanted to break the news themselves or ash has moved out of the family home and they knew it would come out?

Any thoughts on Helen Flanagan? I did think at the time that her split announcement was similar and relatively recent too and just saw she was at Jordan's party, alone?! 
Would have thought she'd have take a friend at least

I don’t think nay would’ve posted a pic of Helen on her story with hearts if it was ash new mrs as she’s really close with fran that would be weirdAny thoughts on Helen Flanagan?

Same management company?Any thoughts on Helen Flanagan? I did think at the time that her split announcement was similar and relatively recent too and just saw she was at Jordan's party, alone?!
Maybe Jordan and Helen did the Jungle together?
Diversity manage themselves. Danielle Banjo ( the mum ) is the manager.
I meant Nay
can’t see mamma Banjo managing her (unless it’s managing her out...)I do wonder if the split was a mutual thing and after being together for so long, especially when kids are in the picture, and they do spend a lot of time apart, if they both concluded that they were better off as friends? And that’s why she’s still commenting on his pics etc and still so comfortable around him? Also, Fran’s latest insta post is 
She looks bleeping amazing. I think they've just realised they're more friends than lovers as wellI do wonder if the split was a mutual thing and after being together for so long, especially when kids are in the picture, and they do spend a lot of time apart, if they both concluded that they were better off as friends?
