Ash's guest appearance is now available on iplayer
She was quizzed about Mike Tyson (as usual), BB (as usual), glamour modelling, boyfriends and the film Anuvahood. She also managed to get a mention in for her next film role in London Town 
She brought the boys jerk chicken and other West Indian delicacies for their Valentines dinner. 
”
This isn't quite a transcript, but it follows it pretty closely.
The clip is 3 hours long.
But for Ash, start at 2:12 into the show.
Seems she's fallen out with the friend who suggested she audition for BB because the friend didn't get in and her career hasn't gone anywhere. (They bring it up; she seems embarrassed and not wanting to talk about it.)
She doesn't regret anything from when she was in BB. Still talks with Imogen and Pete and occasionally sees Nikki out. She's asked if they're mates. We're pleasant with each other. But you're not mates. She's reluctant to answer.
Acts like she doesn't recognise the name "Tyson" when they bring it up, especially how they're pronouncing it. Eventually admits to knowing him & says if you want to know, see my book.
... (a song by Damian Marley that Ash requested.) ...
Asked about whether she knows Damian Marley (yes) and again about Tyson. She again says read the book. They turn to the food she brought then talk about the book.
Why that title? Because it does what it says on the title. That's what it's about. Asked what she means by survived guns. She summarises briefly and refers them to the book. Asked whether she has a gun, ever held a gun. She doesn't seem to want to say. "I wrote that book to inspire young girls caught up in that lifestyle to some out of it."
Asked about glamour. She seems to think its over-saturated these days, because so many girls are doing it. Asked how much the mags pay per shoot. Ash says she's come out of the industry because it's over-saturated and the money isn't what it used to be. Many girls do it for free. She says she's neither here not there re Katie Price. Has met her. Hasn't dated any of her exs.
Asked if it's hard to meet men who don't see her as Ash from BB, and normal guys. Yes. She says normal guys don't approach her and she does not get chatted up
ever. Would like someone with a sense of humour and who can look after themselves. Sportsmen, preferably, I like someone with a good physique. Doesn't know if she'd go out with someone who was signing on, but maybe someone working in a supermarket with aspirations to be the manager of that supermarket, and I got on with him. What if he was the perfect guy for you, but he didn't have any money? She says that would be fine and she was in that situation before, with her fiance. "He won't be listening," she says. Asked why, she avoids saying what his actual situation is. "He works on a oil rig". Is that true? No. Movin' on.
2:28.18 They say they understand she turned down an opportunity in recent times to take part in a film, Anuvahood. At first she seems to think they said she turned down an opportunity to be in Anuvahood and points out that she has a role in it. When this confusion is straightened out, she says "Yes, I did that." They say it was another appearance in the Big Brother house. She says
Ultimate Big Brother. They ask if she regrets it. She says no, because she loves doing Anuvahood.
... (They talk about the film and play a clip from it. It is
very irritating to listen to) ...
She says well, in layman's terms it's sort of like an exaggeration and joke version of of Kidulthood and adulthood. A guy that thinks he's an MC, thinks he's a rude boy and street and he's just really not any of the above.
2:30.50 Asked if she's done any acting before, she says she went to a theatre school every summer and did a few bits with Charlie Brooker on BBC and jokes that she acted with some ex boyfriends. (No videos available.) Asked if it's hard to do comedy. She says it was hard not to laugh at some bits, but when you have lines to learn and the crew etc around you, you go into serious mode.
They talk about some friend of theirs who's in the film.
They ask Ash what her character's like. Typical road girl looking for a man and thinks she's tough.
... (song played) ...
Song ends 2:35.30.
Pro Green there with Jungle.
Ash says her godson's in the video and she has a soft spot for Professor Green.
2:36 You said that you turned down Ultimate Big Brother to do Anuvahood. That means somebody that was in the house got the chance to go in because you didn't. Who was it? Ash: I'm saying nothing. I'd have loved to see you in it, because it was a good series. Ash: I got a lot of hatin' for not goin' in. Somebody got the chance because you turned it down. Ash: Yah, I guess so; I don't know. She doesn't like Victor. He's horrible to me every time I see him, every time on telly, well, the one time. He's horrible to you? Yeah, he's just mean to Aisleyne. Perhaps because he fancies you. It's that kind of playground thing where you're horrible to the person that you like. Really? Yah.
I don't know who it was. I don't get the list of who's going in, it's all very top secret, so, I don't know.
If the opportunity came back, would you go back in the house? No, because now that I've done Anuvahood, I have other opportunities for casting. I've got London Town. I'm doin' that in a couple of months, and I think big Brother was great when I did it, like 5 years ago and it was a good thing then, but I think you can have too much of a good thing, and I wouldn't do it again, no. Are you happy to see it go, overall? I wouldn't say happy, no, I'm sort of, uh, I don't know my feelings on it, to be honest. I'm sort of blasé about it really. It would be nice if they brought it back in a couple of years, maybe.
Another thing we know you've been doing is DJing. She says tryin' a thing. She says it's quite difficult and a lot of respect goes out there to the DJs. She finds mixing quite hard. What selection have you been playing? All my old CDs. Says she's got to update her music collection. Asked what clubs she's played in. She says she hasn't started that yet.
Do you go out a lot? Yeah, but I'm starting to feel I'm getting past it. I've got to stop raving, stop clubbin'. I went out for a meal for one of the actors in Anuvahood, a surprise birthday, with belly dancer, and she liked it much better than clubbing, enjoyed herself so much more. So that's the new going out for me.
We've seen pictures of you outside clubs, so we can't expect that in the future. No, no I'm reformed. ... She has a personal trainer and is keeping herself fit. Asked what celebrities she's dated. She says it's like a cheap magazine show now. I don't know, I don't like to name drop. I go out with people. I don't know if they're famous or not, it doesn't mean anything to me.
How do you feel when you come out of a club and there's loads of people taking pictures of you? Some people enjoy it. Ash: It looks like they enjoy it because they catch that one moment where you're nearly falling over. Says you can't see where you're going because of all the flashes and that's what they thrive on, hoping you'll fall over. It's impossible to be composed if you've had a few drinks and can't see where you're going. ... It's not bad though. Ash: of course it is! Have you seen the pictures on the net? They look on the web (she tells a story of being papped when she pressed up against glass to make a funny face for some people who asked for a pic, but you can't tell there's the glass in the pap's pic) and find various things including a pic of her and Mike Tyson in a taxi with a rose.
They ask where she was going with Mike. She says she doesn't know. So you've been in a taxi with him more than once? Obviously. Is this whole interview going to be about my ex. ... One of them notices that she referred to Mike Tyson as her ex. (Song begins)
Song ends at 2:47.18.
I can't manage any more right now, and I don't think there's anything very interesting either, except for this:
She has "no ink", but she might get a tattoo of her mum and dad "on my Achilles heel, because they're my weakness."
