In the latest episode of the Real Housewife of Cheshire, Katie Alex brings her new BFF Ashley Stobart to Sheena Lynch’s all-glamour 70s-themed birthday party.
How does Ashley Stobart know Katie Alex?
The pair struck up a friendship through work. Katie runs a “vaginal rejuvenation” clinic, something Ashley talked about on her podcast.
How did Ashley Stobart get on The Real Housewives of Cheshire?
Katie needed social back-up after *that* dinner party last week where it all kicked off, so, enter, Ashley.
To be fair, the duo looked good and scared off any trouble at the follow-up birthday bash. Sheena even nicknamed them, the “Barbie twins.” To be honest, they gave us Simple Life vibes and we needed that 2003 fix this week.
On Katie’s current rivalry with Lauren Simon and Nicole Sealey, Ashley says, “This is all bullsh-t. They all sound lovely.”
So, she’s sarcastic, she’s sassy, she’s ready to throw shade. But who is she?
Who is Ashley Stobart?
Ashley burst on to the Real Housewives of Cheshire in series 15, episode 5. Before this, her Insta posts boast a mix of ultra glam selfies and giving beauty treatments. She also promotes her podcast, Nip, Tuck, Not Giving A…., which launched last year and is co-hosted with pal Lauren Elizabeth.
The podcast was made partly as a reaction to a gossip thread about Ashley and her friend on website Tattler Life. Anonymous accounts have claimed Ashley is a bad mother and said she is untrained to give beauty treatments.
Ashley said, “We’re not celebrities, we’re literally just normal people and yet jealous people have gone on to that site just to slander us.”
On the podcast, the friends talk openly about cosmetic surgery, with Ashley saying she’s spent £38,000 on a boob job, nose job and a ‘bleph’ job on her eyelids, the last of which is documented in her Instagram highlights.
On encouraging women to be open about the work they’ve had done, Ashley says, “Being natural doesn’t make you any better than someone else, but being honest does.”
What is Ashley Stobart’s business?
Ashley has a hairdressing and beauty treatment company, Cosmetic Consult, which has been running for just over a year.
How old is Ashley Stobart?
Ashley is born in January 1990, making her 32.
Is Ashley Stobart married?
Yes. She got married in 2021 to Edward Stobart. He is the grandson of another Edward Stobart; the 93-year-old retired founder of million-pound logistics company, Eddie Stobart Limited.
Edward junior’s company, WS Transport Limited, was set up by himself and his father William Stobart. It turns over a whopping £15.4million.
Does Ashley Stobart have kids?
Yes. Ashley even says on this episode of the RHOC that she had a baby earlier this summer.
Her son, Teddy-Wolf Stobart was born in April this year. In other posts, she’s called him Ed, indicating his namesake after his father and great-grandfather.
Ashley also has a daughter, Saskia, who is three. Ashely chooses to cover their faces on social media.
Anyway, we hope she’s a staple for the Real Housewives of Cheshire. We’ve brewed a fresh pot of tea just in case.
Before we sign off, is anyone else getting major Christine Quinn vibes?
