New and Upcoming Sci-Fi and Fantasy

Some people only know Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace in the context of Big Brother (2000) and her achievements since then. However, her real-life story surpasses any reality-show plot line.

Aisleyne was born into a crazy North London punk household, where Boy George was a regular visitor. Hospitalized after a serious assault, Aisleyne left home at 16. Alone in London, she lived in a hostel with frightened women and the predatory men of the city's gang culture. Despite losing close friends and loved ones to drugs, knives and gun crime, Aisleyne vowed to get out of there, studying fashion design and textiles at The London College of Fashion.

Aisleyne's big break came when she became a housemate in "Big Brother 7" (2006). Going through an emotional journey, Aisleyne finished top female to widespread public acclaim. Since then she has proved it's possible to escape the streets and make good. Rarely out of the public eye, she has established herself as a successful entrepreneur, TV personality, actress, author and newspaper columnist, fashion designer, model and media celebrity.

Aisleyne has appeared in a wide variety of drama, light entertainment and news/factual television programs with all the main UK and Irish broadcasters, and played Maria in the urban comedy feature film Anuvahood (2011). Aisleyne returned to the Big Brother House for 10 days as a Legendary Guest Housemate during the 2016 series. She has been the Big Brother/Celebrity Big Brother columnist for the Mirror and then The Sun for every series from 2015 onward.

Aisleyne has her own glamorous ladies clothing label, "Unique by Aisleyne", and launched her own fitness app 'Aisleyne 7 Min. Workouts' in 2016.

She has supported a variety of charitable and good causes. During the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic Aisleyne provided an apartment for use by the nearby University College Hospital's Critical Care team, as she had done for Grenfell Tower residents after the fire three years earlier. She also distributed meals to medical staff and other front-line workers, supported fund raising for NHS Charities Together and helped to promote the DHSS campaign to recruit more care workers.

Aisleyne's gripping journey is detailed in her autobiography "Surviving Guns, Gangs and Glamour", published by Random House.
