Hollyoaks' Ashley quits smoking for his son
11/02/2012 - 14:34
Hollyoaks star Ashley Taylor Dawson says he's quit smoking to set a good example to his son.
The 30-year-old actor lives with fiancee Karen McKay and their 10-month-old son Buddy and made it his New Year's resolution this year to give up the fags.
Ashley said: "I stopped smoking at New Year. I don't like even mentioning that I smoked, but I did stop smoking and I haven't had a cig.
"Obviously having a little boy I thought it was very important. So that's the first thing I did.
"It's always easy to be tempted, but I haven't and I'm not gonna. It's not worth it."
Ashley's secret wedding storyline climaxes this week on Hollyoaks on Channel 4.
