AS a sixth of the glamorous Pussycat Dolls it’s hard to imagine that Ashley Robert struggles to find a date.
But I can reveal the Don’t Cha singer has joined exclusive celebrity dating app Raya in a bid to find The One.

Her profile, which is linked to the song Sure Thing, by Miguel, includes a set of bikini snaps, including some from a trip to Mykonos, Greece, along with stunning outfit posts from Ashley’s Instagram.
A source said: “Ashley is inundated with offers but is looking to find someone she really connects with.
“She has always put everything into her career and is now looking for that special person to add to her life.”
Sharing her interests, the Heart Radio presenter, who comes from Arizona, in the US, has listed “guacamole, beaches, dancing, fitness and dodgeball” in her top five hobbies and states that she lives in London.
Ashley has made no secret of the fact she is looking to reignite her love life since her split from Strictly Come Dancing pro Giovanni Pernice in 2020 following a 12-month romance.
Ashley told The Sun on Sunday’s Fabulous magazine: “I’ve been really good at being driven and taking care of myself and I would like for someone to come in and support me.
“Not financially, and not that I need a man to take care of me, but I would like to share my life with someone whose company I enjoy and who supports me.
“I want to experience the world with someone that makes me laugh, but who also has the emotional intelligence to have an interesting conversation.”
Ashley opened up in 2020 about her failed attempt to freeze her eggs in a bid to preserve her fertility.
However, speaking last year, the singer said that she did not plan on repeating the process.
She added: “I’m just gonna let nature take its course and whatever is meant to be, will be.
“If I do meet someone and I want to try, then we will. But I’m also open to other options and I think the ultimate goal is just to be happy.”
I imagine there will be quite a queue.
Mel C gig axe over gay rights
MEL C has pulled out of a New Year’s Eve gig in Poland over the country’s stance on LGBTQ rights.
The concert is organised by the state broadcaster TVP, which aired a controversial documentary on the gay community in 2019.
SPICE GIRLS singer Mel said in a statement: “In light of some issues that have been brought to my attention that do not align with the communities I support, I’m afraid I will no longer be able to perform in Poland as planned on New Year’s Eve.
“I hope to be back there very soon.
Mel’s decision was praised by leading figures in the LGBTQ community.
Broadcaster TVP said that the singer “unexpectedly resigned from the performance” and blamed “the pressure of online comments”.
Amnesty International revealed earlier this year that “the atmosphere of hostility towards LGBTI people in Poland is growing dangerously worse”.
Lizz in Tizz with 30 year feud
SHE is one of my favourite actresses but Liz Hurley has revealed she is not popular with all of her peers.
The Bedazzled star says she is embroiled in a secret feud with a fellow celebrity, which began in the late Eighties when she landed the lead role in four-part BBC drama Christabel.

Liz explained: “They screen tested three other girls, all of whom were sort of names, as much as you are a name in your early twenties in England.
“I was really the long shot, and I got it.
“I was sitting in the BBC lobby, waiting to meet the director, and the girl before me was somebody I detested. I put myself in a mindset.
“I was so riled up by seeing this girl, and I thought, ‘Over my dead body is she going to get this part and not me’.
“So I went on a charm offensive and got a screen test and then got it. And if she hadn’t been sat in that lobby I might not have got it.”
When quizzed about who the other woman was, Liz added to the Just For Variety podcast: “We’re still not friends.
“She’d dated a boyfriend of mine.
“It’s pathetic, sorry, we really don’t need to go into this.
“She didn’t go on to do very well. She was much more successful than me at the time. But I overtook her.”
Sam’s down to Earth
IT’S nice to see success hasn’t gone to Sam Fender’s head.
The singer says he hates being compared to US rock legend Bruce Springstein.

Sam joked: “I’m not too keen on that tag. I feel I would rather be me. It’s like, ‘hang on, I don’t just rip him off, I have ripped off loads of other people’.
“You take bits from everything as a musician. I have a saxophone and I am from a working-class town and I speak about working-class life, so it is easy to get stuck in.
“I can see where the crossover comes.”
Madge is Santa of attention
IN her 40-plus years of pop super-stardom Madonna has worn some pretty out-there outfits, from oddball to outrageous, so a onesie with Santa hat and plaits seems comparatively low-key – or maybe it’s a sign of her age.
Whatever her thinking, the Like A Virgin singer certainly gave the impression of being in the festive spirit for this seasonal snap with some of her six kids after they jetted into London to spend Christmas in the capital.

Gathering in front of a blue Christmas tree, Madonna and children David Banda, Mercy James and twins Stelle and Estere Ciccone each showed off an ornament bearing their initials.
Presumably they were gifts from Madge, their very own Mother Christmas.
It’s just a shame she didn’t wear the whole red Santa tunic – or did you just run out of Material, Girl?
Webb’s family feud
MIMI Webb’s parents are playfully battling to be her plus one at next year’s Brit Awards.
One of the most exciting artists at the moment, right, she told me: “Both of my parents want to come. My mum is already talking about what dress she is going to wear.
10
“I’ve not thought about my own outfit, let alone my mum’s, but I’m excited to hopefully go. I’m going to have to try to get both of them in. ”
I spent time with Mimi and her dad at the GQ Men of The Year Awards and he was one of the most fun people there.
Let battle commence for the seat at London’s O2 Arena on February 11.
Idris’ son inspires Sonic job
HE played a hardman copper in hit BBC series Luther and drug kingpin Russell “Stringer” Bell in The Wire, but there is one role Idris Elba can’t keep away from, all thanks to son Winston.
I can reveal Idris has signed on for the third instalment of the Sonic The Hedgehog movie, voicing the lead character’s sidekick Knuckles.

A source said: “After doing the Knuckles spin-off series he has agreed to take part in the third film. It is something his son can watch and that makes the films so important to Idris.”
Idris said it took a while to work out what he should sound like.
He added “I wanted to try a squeaky voice. But they didn’t think that was funny. Knuckles isn’t a big talker, but when he does speak, he’s very blunt.”
It’s Bare day girl Jade
Jade Thirlwall gave her take on a birthday suit as she turned 30.
The Little Mix singer wore this cheeky number, which has a print of a nude woman’s torso on the front, as she celebrated her milestone on Boxing Day.

The Confetti hitmaker was inundated with well-wishes from her showbiz pals, including bandmate Leigh-Anne Pinnock, who said: “Happy Birthday Queen.”
Jade also dressed as an elf and took a plunge into the freezing water at Little Haven Beach in her home town of South Shields, Tyne and Wear, to raise money for local charity Cancer Connections.
Sharing a snap as she emerged from the icy water, she wrote: “You’ve heard of elf on the shelf . . . But have you heard of JT in the northern sea?”
Liam has a ride laugh
LIAM Gallagher brushed aside any sign of a hangover as he enjoyed a Boxing Day trip out with with his fiancee Debbie Gwyther.
I told how he had enjoyed a boozy Christmas Day at private members’ club The Ned in London after splashing thousands to hire its rooftop.

But he blew the cobwebs away with a jaunt to Winter Wonderland.
The former OASIS rocker was spottedin a trapper hat and shades and enjoying a pint at the festive attraction in Hyde Park.
Liam was also seen joking around with his children Gene, Lennon and Molly Gallagher before screaming on a ride during the family day out.
It’s only rock ’n’ rollercoaster – but he likes it.
