Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace (pronounced /æʃliːn hɔrɡən wɒlɪs/) (born December 28, 1978 in London) is an English glamour model, television personality and fashion designer. She gained fame in 2006, when she appeared on the UK's seventh series of the popular gameshow, Big Brother, in which she finished third.
Horgan-Wallace's mother Sophia Horgan, a fashion designer, and her father Steve Wallace, a car dealer, split when she was three years old.[1] She was raised by her mother in North London[2] and moved schools several times due to clashes with fellow pupils.[2] At the age of 16, Horgan-Wallace stopped living with her mother and stayed with friends before moving to a women's hostel.[2][3] She was reunited with her father at the age of 18 after he managed to track her down.[4]
It was reported that Horgan-Wallace had won a Prince's Trust grant to take a beauty therapy course at college, and that she had jobs in shoe shops and as a promotions girl.[2] Her official biography states that she studied at the London College of Fashion and took part-time promotional jobs to help fund her education. In the summer of 2005, she spent £4,000 on breast implants, to further her career.[5][6]
