Ashley Hames
Ashley is currently filming Guilt Trip, a new series for the UK’s BBC2 about carbon footprints, to be broadcast in autumn 2007. As the host of the show, Ashley will be taking 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 role as presenter for the first three series of Sin Cities. Ashley is the host of the show, originally broadcast on Bravo (UK), which takes a wry look at sex and erotica, and has given the channel’s 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!
