Ashley Roberts struggles to keep her umbrella aloft as she’s caught in torrential downpour while making a departure from hosting radio show

She’s regularly seen putting on glamorous displays as she exits her Heart FM radio hosting gig in an array of achingly stylish ensembles.

But the routine became something of a more clumsy routine for Ashley Roberts on Friday morning, when she was caught in a torrential downpour while exiting central London’s Global Radio building. 

The Pussycat Dolls star, 39, struggled to keep her small black umbrella aloft as the inclement weather swept across the capital, bringing with it huge gusts of wind.

Looking shocked as she battled with the elements, the American beauty still ensured she wasn’t short on glamour as she emerged from her early morning gig.

The star donned a rust-hued two-piece leisure suit, which included a long-sleeved top and a pair of  matching high-waisted jogging bottoms. 

Adding to her ensemble with Rhyton Gucci leather sneakers – which retail at £705 – the star complemented her look with a champagne Yves Saint Laurent handbag.

Wearing her golden locks in a voluminous blowout, Arizona native Ashley highlighted her natural beauty with a warm palette of makeup.  

Ashley turned 39 last month, and was spoilt with cakes, champagne and cards from her extended family at Heart Radio. 

The media personality recently revealed she is open to the idea of adopting a child in the future.

Speaking in an interview with Fabulous magazine in July, she said: ‘I’m definitely open to the idea of adoption.

‘You just never know what the future is going to bring and the most important thing is to be happy and, whether my body naturally has kids or not, we’ll see what life brings. I’m definitely open to that.’

The blonde also reflected on dating following her split from Italian Strictly Come Dancing professional Giovanni Pernice, 30.

They called time on their year-long romance in January after meeting during Ashley’s stint on the BBC One dance competition in late 2018.

The TV star said: ‘I’m good on my own, though. I’m pretty independent. It’s nice to have that connection with someone, but at the moment lockdown is still [effectively] here, so “me” is where it is.’
