I finished reading the ghetto princesses book a few days ago and thought I'd share some information (some of which will probably be known already since it's been floating around since June 2006)...

- She was brought up by a punk mother - Boy George babysat her regularly. Her father was a drug user and was in and out of prison.
- She was bullied for being one of the only white girls at an all black school. One time she stood up to one of her bullies who happened to have a mentally ill cousin, the cousin battered Aisleyne almost to death with a sock full of snooker balls.
- When she was 16 Aisleyne left home after her mother converted to being a Jehovah's Witness and tried to prevent her from doing teenage like things like going out/meeting boys. Aisleyne tried to reconnect with her mother on several occassions, each time her mother told her to stay away from her. Her mother also changed the locks on their flat just hours after Aisleyne left. The book ends (at 2009 in Aisleyne's life) with her mother still refusing to talk to her. She stayed with her cousin and her uncle for a while before moving into her own hostel.
- Whilst living in the hostel Aisleyne made enemies with a group of girls who would invite boys over and have parties just outside Aisleyne's bedroom, and would have sex in Aisleyne's bathroom and leave condoms everywhere. When Aisleyne complained the girls got kicked out but Aisleyne was beaten up by the girls.
- A girl named Barbara randomly hated Aisleyne and threatened to slit Aisleyne's face open. She broke into Aisleyne's flat and regularly broke Aisleyne's belongings. Barbara disappeared after a while but Barbara later apologized to Aisleyne at a club years later.
- Aisleyne met a man called Daniel. He was very possessive and once nearly killed Aisleyne by throwing her from a roof. She managed to survive when people who lived in a flat below the roof pulled her into their flat through a window. When Aisleyne split up with Daniel, he beat her up and Aisleyne had to pull an emergency break on a train to get help.
- She met a man called Marc who basically run the gangster scene. He was heavily protective of her and she gained respect throughout the gangster scene for being 'Marc's girl'. Marc was paralyzed from the neck down in a drive by shooting and later died.
- Aisleyne moved her dad who had become rich for a while. Aisleyne clashed with her dad's girlfriend and Aisleyne moved back out of the house when she discovered her dad was using drugs again.
- She moved back into a hostel and the girls living in her hostel used to tip off gangs to break into Aisleyne's room to steal her things. People used to tip off the police about Aisleyne having weapons in her room and she would regularly be raided.
- She met a man called Curtis who also run the gangster scene. He was in and out of prison and he got Aisleyne pregnant. She miscarried and gave birth to a dead five and a half month baby on the bathroom floor of her flat. She had several more miscarriages. Curtis remained in prison throughout the entire time Aisleyne was in the Big Brother house too.
- Aisleyne began getting into promotions work and then when many other girls got onto the promotions scene - she got into glamour modelling as promotions was no longer highly paid like it used to be.
- Whilst at an event, Aisleyne met Mike Tyson and they began dating. He told her she was going to be a TV star when she had no aspirations of being on TV and instead wanted to work in fashion. They parted ways when Mike Tyson moved back to the USA...two weeks later Aisleyne auditioned for Big Brother 7.
- Aisleyne planned to audition for Big Brother 6 but was too busy sorting out her personal life. She auditioned for Big Brother 7 whilst still drunk from a night out and a woman in the toilets (that Aisleyne later realized was a member of the production team) called her a ghetto princess so Aisleyne played up to that role in her auditions.
- She didn't get through to the final group and went on holiday with her friends after Big Brother 7 launched. A man took pictures of Aisleyne sunbathing and later sold them to the press when she become a housemate. Aisleyne was called at the end of holiday and told she was actually in the final group of housemates but would be entering late. She flew back to the UK and entered the house.

The rest is history!

But she makes it sound as if they are still good and he is her hero/saviour at the time she went into the house... Doesn't exactly match the time line layed out above
