Celebrity Masterchef signs up footballer turned reality star after family tragedy for new series
CELEBRITY Masterchef has recruited a reality TV veteran for their latest series. As the BBC show starts building its line-up, they have signed on a footballer-turned-reality star who has become famed for shows including Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, and Ex On The Beach. 7 7 Ashley Cain made his name as a tattooed and muscled bad boy on screen, but after the devastating loss of his eight-month-old baby daughter Azaylia in 2021, he's since dedicated his life to raising money for a foundation made in her name. He's hoping that Celebrity Masterchef will be a way to show off the family man he's now become. A source told The Sun: "Ashley is keen to show fans another side of him. This is an unexpected move for him as his past shows have either been wild like Ex on The Beach, or really hardcore like Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. 'Now he can show what he is capable of in the kitchen and introduce himself to a new audience." A Celebrity Masterchef spokesperson said: "We do not comment on line-up speculation and the cast will be announced in due course." Azaylia, whom Ashley had with ex Safiyya Vorajee, died from a rare form of leukaemia, having been diagnosed just two months after she was born. He's since taken on record-breaking feats of endurance including kayaking 1,000 miles in the Yukon, Canada, in just 10 days in order to raise money to support families whose children are battling the disease. in the running to appear in this year's Strictly Come Dancing line-up. He will be joining RuPaul's Drag Race star Ginger Johnson, Love Island beauty Uma Jammeh and Blue singer Antony Costa. Coronation Street's Katie McGlynn, Celebrity Big Brother's Chris Hughes and Michelle Heaton have also been included in the line-up.

I've been on every reality show but there's a dark side to them and I'm constantly worried about my next pay cheque
HE first rose to fame on the X Factor back in 2012 and while many have faded into obscurity, Jake Quickenden has firmly cemented himself as a household name. But the 36-year-old is the first to admit there's a dark side to it all, which rarely gets talked about but affects everyone in the industry - money. 4 4 Jake told us: 'I'm always worrying about work, you see work come and go, you're wondering when your next job's coming in. 'Obviously you go on a show such as Big Brother and you're loved by some people and hated by others, and there's a lot of factors that you have to think about with reality TV. 'It can be a tough place to be sometimes.' As well as the X Factor, Jake has appeared on I'm A Celebrity, Dancing on Ice, SAS Who Dares Wins and MasterChef to name a few. He has also appeared in a number of stage roles and is making a name for himself in the theatre world. Speaking to The Sun via WhichBingo, Jake - who is a dad of three - said: 'I'm obviously worried from job to job because money is the main thing that kind of keeps you ticking over. 'You want to pay your mortgage, you wanna be able to go on holiday when you choose and stuff, so I guess there's always a worry if you're not working, that you're not earning money. 'I'm not a multi-millionaire, but I've got savings in case some work doesn't come in for a year and I'm auditioning and it doesn't go my way. 'You've got to use your head and think, in the past when I was younger I'd probably just spend all my money and blow it and then not think about the consequences, but when you're a father and you've got a family and a house and a car to pay for then you do have to put a bit of money away for a rainy day or in case work's not coming in.' Jake and wife Sophie are parents to children Leo and Kit, who was born at the start of the year. Jake Quickenden and wife Sophie welcome second child together He is also step dad to Sophie's son Freddie from a previous relationship. The star revealed his kids are his biggest inspiration, telling us: 'Everything I do is for them. 'I wanna set them up for a decent life and I wanna give them a decent amount of savings.' And Jake has no plans of slowing down soon, adding: 'I don't feel I ever do enough, so I'll continue to just kind of work my a***e off and and hopefully continue for a very long time.' 4 4

Watch heartbreaking moment JoJo Siwa admits she doesn't have any ‘real friends' on US SAS Who Dares Wins
JOJO Siwa put on a brave face as she made a heartbreaking admission on reality show Special Forces in 2023 - revealing she doesn't have any childhood friends. The 21-year-old star took part in the US version of SAS Who Dares Wins and opened up during her intense recruit interview with the show's Chief Instructor. 6 JoJo Siwa could only name one friend when quized on the US version of SAS Who Dares Wins 6 She took part in 2023 Credit: Channel 4 6 She name dropped Elton John when asked who her friends were Credit: tiktok/@eltonjohn But the exchange left viewers stunned. The instructor bluntly asked: 'Who are your friends?' JoJo replied: 'My friends? They're just other celebrities. I just met them all.' He then followed up: 'Who's your favourite celebrity?' She answered: 'I like Elton John. He's a really good friend of mine, actually.' Despite her upbeat tone, the confession painted a picture of isolation behind her glittering showbiz life. JoJo's admission sparked concern among fans about the pressures of growing up in the spotlight and the personal cost of fame. One shocked viewer commented: ''Just met them all' — so she hasn't had any friends from her childhood up until now?' Another wrote: 'Now I feel sorry for her! She is so young and has no life. She thinks Elton John is her friend!!! He is an old man in England! She doesn't have a bestie!' A third said: 'I didn't think I'd ever feel sorry for JoJo Siwa, but honestly I kinda see her in a new light knowing that. Poor girl's been sheltered her entire life.' JoJo Siwa's ex Kath reveals what they really thought when they were dumped The Dance Mom alum was one of 14 celebrities who took part and made it to the eighth episode before withdrawing from the gruelling course. JoJo found fame on reality TV show Dance Moms when she was nine years old and made millions selling big hair bows Her talk with the Special Forces instructor did the rounds on TikTok days after she split from partner Kath Ebbs at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party. Reality TV onlookers claimed her onscreen chemistry with former Love Islander star Chris Hughes in the Celebrity Big Brother house may have played a part. It came after singer JoJo revealed she was queer and not a lesbian while in CBB. Kath has since taken a swipe at Chris, claiming he manipulated JoJo on national TV and "pretended" to be her "safe space". But as she touched back down in LA today, JoJo also took a swipe at Kath. She was asked by The Sun at the airport: "What was your biggest take away from it?" to which she appeared to make a veiled reference to Kath. JoJo said: "Biggest takeaway? Probably [that I] learned more about myself and yeah I think that I had a lot of things in my life I wasn't happy about. "And being there forced me to change that, and that's good. I needed that." Over the weekend, Kath was pictured for the first time since the split. 6 JoJo grew close to Chris Hughes in CBB Credit: Eroteme 6 She found fame on Dance Moms when she was nine years old Credit: Getty
