Big Brother fan favourite Ashleigh Coyle spotted on ITV gameshow with mum

A Derry woman who previously appeared on Big Brother and became a fan favourite sent social media into a frenzy this week when they spotted her on an ITV quiz show with her mum.

Ashleigh Coyle, who entered the Big Brother house in 2014, appeared on an episode of the TV show on Tuesday afternoon alongside her mum, Mary.

Hosted by Good Morning Britain star Adil Ray, Lingo sees a group of hopefuls take on word skills as they play to win big money.

Ashleigh spoke with host Adil about competing in beauty pageants but failed to mention that she was a contestant during Big Brother 15.

The Derry girl appeared on the ITV quiz show on January 18 (ITV)

And while Derry girl Ashleigh didn't reach the final of Lingo, the 26-year-old made it all the way to the final of Big Brother nearly eight years ago alongside Helen Wood.

Eagle-eyed fans spotted a familiar face, rushing to social media to reveal the identity of the Derry star.

"Just catching up on #Lingo and Ashleigh Coyle from big brother is on it. Liked her in the house," posted David Lawton.

Tom Bennett added: "Wasn't she in big brother? ? #Lingo #Ashleigh"

While another tweeted: "Are my eyes deceiving me or is that Ashleigh from BB Power Trip on Lingo??"

Lingo airs weekdays on ITV and ITV Hub from 3pm.
