ASHLEY Cain has hit back after he was slammed for "flaunting his wealth" by showing off ANOTHER new car.
Former footballer and reality TV star Ashley, who appeared on Ex on The Beach and the Challenge as well as Celebrity SAS, is worth an estimated £3 million.
But after he posted a picture of his new Land Rover, the 34-year-old received some backlash from fans.
Some of his followers slammed him, and claimed he was flaunting his wealth my showing off his pricey new motor, which cost around £60K.
Ashley also faced a similar backlash when he shared that he had bought a Lamborghini.
In the new Instagram post, he proudly showed off the two sets of keys for his very expensive cars.
But some fans weren't happy, and accused him of "flaunting his wealth".
But Ashley didn't take this backlash lying down, and replied to their comments and wrote: "It's so crazy because people like you tried to report me to the likes of the police and the charity commission and got laughed at.
"All accounts and audits were provided and then posted online publicly for you to view.
"Yet here we are again. Jealousy and envy is a terrible illness and unfortunately you are riddled with it.
"If I want to put back into the world as I do, that is ok. If I want to also be successful and create an incredible life, that is ok too.
"Because when I lost everything, the likes of you still used to chat absolute horrible and nasty garbage, so why would I care now.

"I gave nearly 9 whole months last year to preparing and executing something never done before in this world, suffered severe mental, physical and emotional punishment and nearly lost my life at sea..
"Raised close to a quarter of a million pounds for children battling cancer and funded it all myself.
"The sacrifices I make you will never understand, so when I want to enjoy myself.
"I’ll do it properly and unapologetically."
Ashley has raised thousands in memory of his baby daughter Azaylia, who died from a rare form of leukaemia.
Meanwhile, and the end of last year Ashley became a father for the third time.
Sharing the news in November, he told fans: "Atlas Diamond Cain – 29.11.24. Welcome to the world, my son!"
The Ex on the Beach star revealed Atlas arrived a month early, meaning he missed the birth.
He continued: "When you rearrange your final two filming dates three times to make sure you’re back for your son’s birth, fully expecting him to be just like you - LATE.
"He surprises everyone by showing up a month early!
"Even though I’m absolutely gutted I couldn’t be there, my heart is bursting with love and excitement.
"I can’t wait to leave the danger zones behind and come home to the best welcome ever - hugs, kisses, and sleepy snuggles on the sofa with my beautiful baby boy."
It came after Ashley welcomed son Aliyas Diamond last January, but hasn't revealed the the identity of his mother.
It's unclear if Aliyas and Atlas have the same mum.
Ashley lost eight-month-old Azaylia Diamond - whom he shared with ex Safiyya Vorajee - in April 2021.
She had been battling a rare form of leukaemia.
