As a BBC broadcast journalist, Ashley John-Baptiste has become a household name, working as a presenter on The One Show and hosting documentaries including Being Black at Cambridge.
Baptiste has also been vocal about his time growing up in care, creating a documentary in 2022 titled Split Up in Care - Life Without Siblings, where he discovered he had half-siblings – despite being told by social workers growing up that he didn’t.
