Among the lavish gifts presented were a paid-for apartment, a R500 000 cheque, R10,000 in fuel vouchers, an iPad, stylish accessories, and a R5 000 Zara clothing voucher.
During her acceptance speech, Ashley opened up about her journey as she expressed gratitude to her supporters.
“Everything I have lost has been restored… If there’s something I could tell people today, it’s that God takes nobodies with anger issues like me — a mess like me— and makes them great.”
The reality TV star also expressed gratitude to the Big Brother platform for transforming her life.
“When I entered the Big Brother house, I knew it would change my life, but I didn’t think it would be this much.
“My grandfather told me I was going to be famous one day, but no one believed him because he was a drunk. Through him, I found the love of Michael Jackson and Pam Andrews — he bought me the DVD sets for my fifth birthday, and from that moment I knew I was going to be a star,” Ashley shared.
