Ashley has most recently been seen on BBC2's Autumn travel series, "Guilt Trip". As the host of the show, Ashley took members of the public on a learning curve all around the world, as they discover the cost of their consumption.
He is also writing a book about his exploits on the road during his recent role as the presenter of "Sin Cities". Ashley hosted three series of the show, broadcast on Bravo, which took a wry look at sex and erotica, and gave the channel its best ever ratings.
Ashley has received critical acclaim for his no-holds-barred approach to presenting, perhaps best demonstrated in Bravo’s "Man’s Work" series where he worked in some of the world’s most demanding jobs – including crab fishing, crime scene cleaning, anti-narcotics enforcement, and football management.
He has also played a starring role in "Bullrun: Cops, Cars and Superstars" (Bravo) and "Celebrity Poker" (Challenge).
After hosting Channel 4’s "Bad Trip" documentary about his exploits in Texas with a Playboy model and a homeless alcoholic, a message was posted on the 4Later website:
'If we don't see more of Ashley Hames I am going to come round to Channel 4 with a gun. He is very cool, laid back and perfect for late night telly.'
That pretty much sums him up! |
