The model recalled a story to her fellow contestants as they sat around the dining table in the Borehamwood Bungalow to get to know each other a little better.

But none of her housemates would have been expecting the former Made in Chelsea star to reveal she once defecated on an ex-boyfriend's sofa.

The 30-year-old told them: “An ex of mine treated me awfully and cheated on me and he was just horrible. But I was so in love, I was 23.

"He invited me over for dinner and I was like ‘this is my chance to turn up, look amazing and no matter what happens I’ll leave in control’ and he’ll wish to get me back.”

However, it didn’t end the way Ashley planned as she revealed her stomach took a dodgy turn after she ate a creamy pasta.

The stunner continued: “We had dinner on his brand new sofa, and he was showing pictures of everything he had been up to on his iPad, and I was like 'oh my god, my tummy is like so sore.

"He kept talking. I was waiting for a pause so I could be like 'just going to pop to the loo' in his one-bed flat so already I was like 'this is gonna be awful…”

Ann had clearly had enough of Ashley’s descriptive nightmare as she shouted: “We get the picture!”

Laughing off Anne’s reaction, the blonde beauty added: “So my lasting memory of him was him with marigolds on scrubbing his sofa.”

Many fans watching the episode found her revelation a step too far as one person wrote: “Nah Ashley that’s dirt #cbb.”

“Widdecombe’s having a breakdown about the poo story #CBB,” added another.

But others thought her tale was “TV gold” as one viewer commented: “Ashley s****ing on her ex’s sofa is brilliant #CBBUK.”

Another said: “Do not put the men into @bbuk the women in the house are tv gold!! Best big brother ever!!! Ashley’s s****ing the sofa story was hilarious #CBB #CBBUK
