Ashley James opens up about her personal struggles with self-worth and body image: 'I want my daughter growing up knowing she is more than just her body'


Ashley James has opened up about her personal struggles with her self-worth and body image, admitting it took her a 'really long time' for her to accept herself.

The TV personality, 37, is determined to ensure her two-year-old daughter, Ada, never faces those same battles and is committed to breaking free from the societal pressures that often leave women feeling inadequate. As part of her efforts to create positive change, Ashley has teamed up with the FA and Barclays for this year's Biggest Ever Football Session called Made for this Game, which takes place on March 7. Ashley added: 'I'd like to think that my son and my daughter grow up knowing that girls have a space, a seat at the table as well, and not just as players, but as pundits or journalists or whatever it is they want to do in both men's and women's sports.'
