The iconic Ayshea Brough says Bob Monkhouse gave her the best career advice

Asad Ahmad

Available for over a year

Singer, actress and TV presenter Ayshea Brough helped shape British popular culture. Landing a record deal at sixteen and going on to become a household name with her music programme 'Lift Off With Ayshea', she helped launch the careers of David Bowie, Slade, Black Sabbath and many more. Despite her life reading like a film script - with a move to Hollywood, her close friend Kris Kardashian being her bridesmaid, Elton John writing a song for her - Ayshea remains firmly down-to-earth. Now residing back in England, Ayshea talks to BBC Radio London's Asad Ahmad about how she landed her TV show, how she's keen to get into theatre and the advice Bob Monkhouse gave her.
