Debee Ashby (born Debbie Ann Ashby on 2 July 1968 in Meriden, Warwickshire) is an English former glamour model, actress, and The Sun Page 3 girl. She began her topless modeling career at age 16 with a dual pictorial in The Sun alongside her mother Anne Ashby. Her topless appearances led to her expulsion from King Henry VIII School, Coventry, before completing her O levels. She debuted in Men Only magazine in January 1984 and appeared in several British men's magazines. Ashby also starred in independent adult films during the 1980s and 1990s, including the softcore video series Electric Blue.
Ashby was romantically linked to actor Tony Curtis, guitarist Rick Parfitt, and gangster Reggie Kray. Her affair with Curtis attracted media attention, with Ashby describing Curtis as emotionally vulnerable during their two-week stay at his house. After her two-year marriage to musician Richard Mead ended in 1994, she completed a pub management course. She currently lives on the Isle of Man, is married with a family, and runs Coasters restaurant as well as a house development company called Jobee.
