Ashley Walters has been in the public eye since he found fame as a member of the So Solid Crew, and the fanfare over the multi-talented star's personal life doesn't seem to be going anywhere with the new success of Missing You

The show follows the lives of two drug kingpins in Hackney, east London, with Ashley's character leading a tumultuous life filled with gun violence, kidnappings and prison stints over the four seasons of the BAFTA-winning series. The happily married couple moved from London to Kent's coast (Image: No credit)Back in 2016, the Top Boy actor opened up about the demands of fatherhood saying it's tough balancing work and family.
