Ashley Cain has been revealed to have a shocking history of calling women 's**gs', 's**ts' and 'psychos', a new investigation has revealed.
The BBC presenter, 35, who is celebrated for his appeal to young male audiences, has a history of making abusive and misogynistic remarks about women online.
Forging a career in TV, Ashley presents the BBC Three documentary series Ashley Cain: Into the Danger Zone, which sees the star travel across the world to the most dangerous places and interview young men who live on the fringes of society.
The second series was filmed earlier this year but has not been scheduled for release at this stage. The BBC have also removed repeats of the first series of Into The Danger Zone from next week's schedule.
However prior to his work with the BBC, The Guardian has revealed a series of tweets in which he refers to women in abusive terms, making jokes about hitting women and degrading sexual practices.
He also sent female users abusive messages with offensive sexualised language.

In 2014, in response to a since-deleted tweet he claimed to be homophobic, he tweeted that one female user should 'go and choke on a c**k you s**t'.
To another female user in 2015 he wrote: 'The only thing that's desperate around here is your pictures with your sh*t t*ts. Now suck a d**k, and f**k off.'
The publication stated there were a dozen other similar posts. However on Wednesday night his X account was removed from the platform.
A BBC spokesperson told Daily Mail: 'We are very clear we expect the highest standards of behaviour from everyone who works with or for the BBC.
'When allegations are brought to our attention we take them seriously. We will consider this information carefully and do not intend to comment further at this stage.'
The Daily Mail has contacted Ashley's representatives for comment.
Ashley's career began as a winger in the Football League before he turned to reality television and high-profile charity fundraising.
Between 2014-2015 he appeared on MTV's Ex On The Beach, where he said: 'you can’t turn a h*e into a housewife'.
He also competed on Celebrity MasterChef in 2025, reaching the semi-final and also starred on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins.

More recently, he has stepped into investigative broadcasting, hosting the documentary series on BBC Three.
He had been praised by BBC executives for his 'exceptional' ability to connect with young men, and described him as 'what BBC Three is about'.
Ashley also pivoted his career toward extreme ultra-endurance challenges to fundraise for childhood cancer research after his daughter, Azaylia, tragically died at eight months old after battling a rare form of cancer.
Azaylia was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia and had tumours on her lungs, stomach and kidneys.
She was given several rounds of chemotherapy and a bone marrow transplant at Birmingham Children's Hospital, but sadly died on April 24, 2021.
Following her death Ashley and his partner Safiyya Vorajee, Azaylia's mother, split up, after Safiyya said the couple struggled with their grief and he started to drink 'quite a lot'.
He went on to welcome son Aliyas with a new partner and a mystery woman in January 2024, who he later split from. He also welcomed a son called Atlas in November 2024.
