Later that day, the former Made In Chelsea star, 33, glammed up with freshly styled hair and a full face of make-up, for a day out to Port Isaac in Cornwall.

Last week, Ashley admitted she didn’t envision herself getting pregnant a few months ago and it has been ‘quite a surreal change’ because she still feels like the ‘eternally single girl’.
Taking to her Instagram stories Ashley said: ‘I’m just trying to adapt to people knowing and this new experience in life.
‘I’m not going to turn into one of those people who only talk about pregnancy and babies. I’m still very passionate about single positivity. It’s weird I almost feels like I’m in two dimensions that this is happening.
‘A year ago I felt like this wasn’t ever going to happen to me. Not even a year ago a few months ago.’

Ashley added the caption: ‘I still feel the eternally single girl so it’s quite a surreal change’.
In May, at the height of the pandemic, Ashley discovered she was expecting a child and penned a ‘love letter’ to her body.
She re-shared it on Instagram on Tuesday, revealing the true reasons she posted it earlier in the year.
She wrote: ‘This was a love letter to my body because I was having a baby and I knew it would never look the same again and I wanted to celebrate it and the journey it goes on over the next few months.
‘Our bodies are amazing, they need to be celebrated not punished!’
Baby on board! The celebrity DJ announced her baby news on her Instagram last week, as she shared a snapshot of herself posing with her boyfriend of nine months, Tom Andrews
During her interview with Hello!, which took place at Tom’s parents’ home in Dordogne, Ashley said of the news: ‘From the moment I found out, it felt so right.’
However, while she’s elated at impending motherhood, the blonde beauty – who was single for six years before meeting Tom – was never particularly maternal.
‘It’s been such a 360-degree shift for me,’ she told the publication. ‘I’ve never been that maternal. When friends have been like: “I want to meet someone, settle down and have children,” I never felt the same. I guess I’ve been a free spirit.’
Ashley and tech professional Tom, who began dating nine months ago, in October, first met ten years ago.
Such is the couple’s commitment to one another than Tom has given Ashley a Cartier Trinity ring, although she insists that they’re ‘not interested’ in engagement or marriage, and want the accessory to ‘symbolise’ them and their baby as a family.
