Other highlights included a half day hike up Runyon Canyon and meeting a number of celebrities, including Amber Rose.

It wasn't entirely a work-free holiday, however, as her stay coincided with the early days of Big Brother 18, and she still had her Sun columns to write.

Thanks to technology and the time difference, Aisleyne was able to watch Big Brother in mid-afternoon and then write her column while basking in the California sunshine. "Maybe I should do ALL my columns from LA!" she told us.

Her Sun column was by no means her only media appearance during her "private" holiday. The Daily Star keenly followed her Instagram postings and carried a series of enthusiastic articles featuring her saucy selfies, almost daily!

For the last few days of her stay Aisleyne moved to the exclusive Loews Hotel, where she had a clear view of the iconic Hollywood sign from her bedroom window.

Media attention continued, and even intensified, as a variety of daring swimsuits and provocative poses, plus a VERY persistent paparazzo, proved the recipe for a tabloid frenzy of (well-illustrated!) articles - appearing even as far as media in Greece, Romania and Venezuela!

Daily Mail, Star, Mirror and Sun all ran a succession of stories with headlines and captions such as "....let's get physical..." ".....tiny one-piece..." "...buxom bust and pert derriere..." and "...stripped down shower..."

Get the picture? Well, if you click on the Photos gallery you can enjoy a small selection of them...

Well, A to V anyway (that's Alesha Dixon to Vicky Pattison), and just about every letter in between!

Naturally, the competition for media attention was VERY fierce, but Aisleyne's comparatively understated deep pink trouser suit and black top drew lots of favourable comments, as did her "mermaid hair-do" (to quote OK! magazine).

Aisleyne later revealed that her choice of a pink outfit to this Cancer Charity event was a tribute to her late mother. A very touching gesture, we thought.

Later the same evening Ash also went on to attend the VIP launch of Golden Bee's new Rooftop Terrace in Singer Street, EC1.

However, Derren Brown has been busy making the ride even scarier with additional hi-tech and yet more of his trademark psychological mind-bending tricks.

Many other stars joined Aisleyne on this new nightmare experience including Alesha Dixon and her partner Azuka Ononye, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Josie Gibson and lots of TOWIE, Love Island and CBB alumni.

According to the Sun, Aisleyne "left little to the imagination in a sheer floral dress with a pink leotard underneath", an outfit which the Daily Mail considered "chic" and the "dress du jour".

Nevertheless, even though Aisleyne "cut a demure figure" (to quote the Daily Mail), she still raised temperatures in her long-sleeved black button-down dress, with a thigh-high slit, and a black choker.

The Mail added "Giving her ensemble a racy touch with a pair of fishnet stockings, she added a bright pop of colour with blue heels."

Completing the BB7 mini-reunion, the event was also attended by Nikki Grahame. Other celebs also there included Lizzie Cundy and Casey Batchelor.

Aisleyne later tweeted her congratulations "Lovely launch babe so proud of u @Imogen_Thomas .... at swimsuit launch bash"

There's also the option to add individually three targeted workouts via in-app purchase. These are Cardio, Core and Aisleyne's very special Butt workout designed to reshape and tighten the rear.

The PRO version enables every workout to be randomised to offer over 18 million workout permutations across the 5 workouts available. It also permits the exercise length and separately the rest period to be varied, among other features.

Set targets, track workout history including calories burned, and upload photos of progress, all within the app.

Aisleyne says: "I hope the new iOS version of my app will start lots more people on the road to fitness. It's aimed at people who don't have time (or maybe are too shy) to go to the gym. For those people my app will get them summer body ready in the comfort of their own homes."
