Ashleigh said: “It’s fantastic to be involved in the Screwfix ads and be part of such an iconic sporting event. When I first got the call to ask if I would be interested in taking part I thought, what a great idea.
"It’s been a surreal experience but so much fun and I feel like I’ve made good friends with the other names. I do feel like a local celebrity and my friends are really looking forward to seeing me on the small screen over the coming weeks.”
