Ash is best known as a content creator, but she also appeared on one of the nation's biggest talent shows in 2017. Ash had an unprecedented run on British singing extravaganza The X-Factor in 2017. She originally auditioned with her group NQ, who made it to Boot Camp before being dropped from the show. But the star pulled off a rare move when she ditched her band for a new group. The singer, who was 21 at the time, was kicked off the show but returned to join Simon Cowell's imaginatively-named New Girl Band. NQ impressed the judges with their performance of Hey Mama before getting axed, but Simon said he wanted to bring Ash back. Ten Years of Love Island She looked slightly shell-shocked as she was led back on to the stage by host Dermot O'Leary after her group were cut from the show. After a quick rehearsal, Ash then performed with New Girl Band, before Simon asked her if she was willing to ditch NQ and join them instead. New Girl Band was put together by the media mogul just days earlier after all the girls were booted off the Boot Camp weeks earlier. He had once hoped they could be a female version of One Direction, but they didn't take off as he hoped. However, the group ended up getting knocked out at the Judges' Houses stage, with the contest being won by another Cowell outfit, Rak-Su. Ash is the current host of Bumble's My Love Is podcast. She featured in an episode of Channel 4's Get in the Van in 2023. Ash took part in series four of Footasylum Locked In, which started on November 1, 2023. The fortnight-long content creating contest on YouTube saw the cast of online celebs competing in various challenges to win the top prize of £10,000. Since 2023, Ash has also hosted her own successful podcast series Antics With Ash, which is available on Spotify, Apple, Deezer, Podchaser, YouTube and her Instagram. She has also partnered with huge brands like L'Oréal, Deliveroo and Amazon Prime. While Joe became a household name for kicking back in front of the TV on Gogglebox. He has since become popular for his podcast Not My Bagg, where he welcomes celebrities to spill the tea.

Love Island bosses will officially confirm the OGs today, with the series to kick off next Monday. 5 Maya Jama will be back hosting Aftersun Credit: Rex

South Wales Fire and Rescue Service recruitment drive
The '#YouCan' initiative aims to celebrate the commitment of nearly 600 on-call staff and inspire others to join. On-call firefighters are trained professionals who respond to emergencies in their local area, often alongside other commitments. Group Manager Darren Cleaves said: "South Wales Fire and Rescue Service employs 595 on-call firefighters who support their communities across South Wales. "Being an on-call firefighter enables you to learn new skills which can also be used in day-to-day primary work roles. "It's a very rewarding part-time job with fantastic career opportunities, as well as the close working alongside our other blue-light partners." On-call firefighters must live or work near their fire station, committing to a specified number of hours each week. As well as responding to emergencies, they attend weekly drill nights for ongoing training, educate their local communities, and carry out home safety visits.
