Into the annals of bad-boy-turned-tabloid hero goes the touching story of reformed "turkey slapper" Michael Cox. Cox, using the name "Ashley", was at the centre of the infamous 2006 Big Brother scandal. The woman at the receiving end went on to win the series, while Cox and his abetter, Michael Bric, were evicted from the show and banished from further Big Brother events. This week, Cox appears in Woman's Day under the headline "I'm now a married dad". The article suggests Cox has "achieved what once seemed impossible".
"At the time, the idea of Ashley finding a woman to even speak to him … seemed a distant dream. In November last year he tied the knot … Just four months later they welcomed [their] son."
