Ashley’s last public relationship was with Strictly professional Giovanni, 33, who is nine years her junior.
The couple were together for over a year before splitting in 2020.
They met when Ashley starred on the BBC series in 2018, competing with Pasha Kovalev in the competition and finishing as a finalist.
Giovanni, who was forced to quit Strictly this season after his celebrity dance partner Amanda Abbington left the show, dated Love Island star Maura Higgins following his romance with Ashley.
It was speculated in 2012 after her stint in the I’m A Celeb jungle that Ashley shared a brief fling with host Declan Donnelly, though the pair never publicly confirmed.
