Ashley Roberts puts on a leggy display in a stylish denim co-ord set as she hails a taxi in Soho
Ashley Roberts looked as stylish as ever while hailing a taxi in central London on Thursday. The former Pussycat Doll, 43, put on a very leggy display in a chic co-ord set as she soaked up the 31C heatwave in England's capital. She showed off her incredible figure in a denim mini skirt and matching button-up vest top as she made sure all eyes were on her. Ashley added a few extra inches to her frame in a pair of simple, white heels, which showed off the tattoo on her foot which read 'love and transformation'. She toted her essentials in a white quilted handbag and carried a copy of Munroe Bergdorf 's Talk To Me with her. The newly-published self-empowerment handbook teaches readers how to tackle tricky conversations with confidence and explores topics from beauty standards to gender identity and cancel culture. Ashley recently sparked concern among fans about her relationship with boyfriend George Rollinson, 25, after offering heartbreak advice on Instagram. While on a sun-soaked getaway with the artist, she shared breathing techniques with her followers, which she said was a great way to 'open up your heart' to welcome in new love as worried fans rushed to the comments. Ashley, who has been dating George since November 2023, penned: 'To all my hunnis feeling the sting of heartbreak right now — I feel you, I see you, I love you. Take 30 seconds. Breathe. Check in with yourself. 'If you're feeling okay, carry on. If not, pause. Be gentle with yourself. You're not alone. I'm breathing with you. You got this'. Concerned fans wrote: 'You can't be going through heartache princess': 'Wait ur not a single pringle now': So beautiful sweetheart hope you're well': 'Sending love.' Last year, Ashley gushed to MailOnline that she was in a 'happy place' as she gushed over her relationship with George. She said: 'It's really nice to be in a relationship that's kind and thoughtful and supportive and we have fun'. She explained that while online dating works for a lot of people she and George met through mutual friends and their relationship 'came about naturally'. She raised her perfectly manicured hand to wave for a cab, clutching sunglasses, a white handbag and a copy of Munroe Bergdorf's Talk To Me in the other 'It was an unexpected thing, we met, and I was having a good time and living my best life, enjoying it and I was like 'this is someone quite special' - I'm in a happy place'. She also recently gave an insight into her love life and revealed why she prefers dating Brits over American men. In an exclusive interview with MailOnline, Ashley said she feels like an 'adopted Brit' after moving to London from the US in 2012 after her appearance on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!. She admitted she could never imagine dating a man from the US now because they're 'overwhelming'. She said: 'Yes, George is British. It's funny because I have been here so long that when I go back to the States, I'm much more aware of the differences… 'American men are, I feel bad saying this, but they're overwhelming, they are too much. I'm like, you need to calm down. 'I think because I grew up in that culture, I didn't necessarily think anything different but now I've lived here for so long and I've dated in the past, many years ago, European men... 'But I don't even imagine myself dating an American guy now. 'They have a different approach. Even in places like Vegas it's all around you that kind of testosterone.' Ashley, who's originally from Phoenix, Arizona, says she is thankful to have settled down in Britain and after The Pussycat Dolls went their separate ways in 2010.

Extremely Small and Incredibly Tight: The Bandage Dress Makes a Comeback
It was, well, bound to happen. Some 15 years after its last renaissance, the bandage dress, that item of clothing invented in the mid-1980s that makes the wearer look as if she has been sucked into a tube, shrink-wrapped and excreted back into the world, is once again resurgent — just as it is every time the twin forces of body culture and economic gloom combine. And with it comes the debate about whether the dress is ultimately about objectification or self-empowerment. The trend returned in earnest last September, when Kaia Gerber wore a white bandage dress recreated by Hervé Léger to mimic the white Legér bandage dress worn by her mother, Cindy Crawford, to the Oscars in 1993 with Richard Gere. In January, the influencer Olivia Boblet posted a TikTok showing herself in a Hervé Léger bandage dresss, which now has 1.7 million views and more than 1,000 comments, most of them essentially reading 'finally!' Then, in April, Hailey Bieber wore a Saint Laurent bandage dress to the Fashion Trust U.S. awards, doubling down on the style in early June with a vintage Léger number. 'Criminally hot,' Kim Russell, a.k.a. the Kimbino, wrote when she reposted a picture of Ms. Bieber on Instagram in the vintage look. Ms. Bieber responded, 'Herve bandage dresses are back I fear.' Part of this re-emergence is down to the House of CB, a British brand that made its name by introducing the bandage dress to a new generation back in 2010, and reintroduced it as part of its birthday celebrations last month. Part of it has to do with Hervé Léger itself, the brand that popularized the look, which will celebrate its 40th anniversary in September and has gleefully embraced the bandage resurgence.

Jilted MAFS bride Morena Farina hits back at online trolls as she hard launches surprising new 'connection'
Married At First Sight's Morena Farina has partnered up with season 10 bride Melissa Sheppard to issue a warning to online haters. On Monday the Melbourne DJ, who skipped out of Australia's 'social experiment' and bid 'good riddance' to her TV husband Tony Mojanovski in a dramatic storm out, told her bullies to 'keep watching.' Both Morena, 57, and Melissa, 43, were cast in the role of vivacious middle-aged woman 'looking for real love' on MAFS - and both have claimed they were given a 'bad edit'. 'To the online bullies watching me, keep watching,' Morena wrote in a lengthy caption on Monday, alongside a professional headshot for her DJ portfolio. 'I'm still here, still doing what I've always done, Still rising, still creating, still DJing.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The bride then thanked her haters and tagged anti-bullying non-for-profit @bullyzero. 'You tried to tear me down, but all you did was remind me how strong I am,' Morena said. 'Your hate isn't power. It's noise. And I've learned how to turn noise into rhythm. To every keyboard warrior out there, thank you. 'Watch me grow. Watch me succeed. Watch me bring good into this world more than what you're doing. Because while you're busy tearing others down, I'm building. 'Forgiveness will find you one day, and I hope it brings you peace.' Morena, who has 27,000 Instagram followers, said 'every comment, every insult, every attempt to tear me down has only helped my algorithm explode.' In the comments, she also said she has 'no regrets' about doing MAFS because it led her to a 'real' connection with Sydney-based hairdresser, Melissa. 'Melissa, everything I've been through the pain, the constant torment, the bullying it's all been worth it, because it led me to you,' Morena wrote. View this post on Instagram A post shared by DJ Morena, Melbourne Wedding & Events🎧 (@djmorenaofficial) 'If it wasn't for MAFS, our paths would never have crossed, and for that alone, I have no regrets, darling. 'Sure, I didn't get a good edit but who even cares? Look at our lives now. We're thriving, we're strong, and we know our truth. I know exactly what I prefer and that's the real, beautiful connection we have. 'They can throw what they want at us, but one thing's for sure: we can't be defeated.' Melissa, who was matched with soft-spoken groom Josh White and dubbed 'the horny bride' during her season of MAFS, called Morena, 'my beautiful friend.' 'It's an honour to be your friend and I cherish the bond we share together,' she wrote. 'So proud of you and your resilience and strength. You & I, together foreva.' Daily Mail Australia exclusively revealed that Morena and Tony's whirlwind romance crashed before it even began, after she discovered her new husband was still 'married' to his ex on their honeymoon. According to insiders, Tony had separated from his long-time partner three years ago but never officially ended his marriage. Morena was understandably devastated, but viewers' sympathy for her character began to wane as the season continued.
