The singer revealed that her dad has struggled with drug and alcohol addiction since she was a child but added that this hasn’t affected the special relationship the two have.

Speaking before her audition, Ash explained: “By the time that I got older, I was super angry with my dad. But the few times that my dad would show up, it meant the world to me, and I know that he felt ashamed and felt guilt.”
