Former Pussycat Dolls singer Ashley Roberts revealed she accidentally got scorched by the sun during her holiday in Turkey and wasn’t afraid to show fans the aftermath
Ashley Roberts showed fans what her sunburnt backside looks like. The former Pussycat Dolls singer, who presents on Heart Radio with pal Amanda Holden, looked incredible in a blue thong bikini. The 43-year-old never fails to dazzle fans with her bikini snaps, but this time she suffered a rather painful blunder.
Ashley is currently holidaying in Turkey, but it seems she got carried away soaking up the sun on the beach as she ended up getting burnt. She showed fans her scorched bum in a video and admitted she hadn’t learned from her previous sunburn blunders.
The star looked sensational in the two-piece thong bikini, but her red skin was plain to see as she lifted up her thong to reveal the nasty sunburn. Ashley joked it was “too hot to handle” and told fans: “Day one, I never learn.”
The radio star was clearly in pain as she groaned: “Ahh cheeks. Ouch!”. The NHS recommends that in order to stay safe in the sun, you should use sunscreen, wear suitable clothing and spend time in the shade when the sun is at its hottest.
Ashley has just released her Breathwork: Techniques for better mental, emotional and physical health. She revealed that being in The Pussycat Dolls made her “really, really sick” and that there were no talks about mental health as it was a “different era”.
The singer was left with arthritis, eczema, shingles, stomach ulcers and severe headaches during her time in the band, which shot to fame in the noughties. Things got so bad at one point that Ashley had to go hospital.
She told The Times: “I remember being on stage in New York with the crowd singing back the lyrics and thinking, ‘Oh, this is really happening.’ It was a fast, extreme rocket ship.
“There were no discussions around, ‘How is your mental health?’ It was a different era. Now, artists are coming forward to talk about their struggles and concerts are rejigged.
“I remember once we were in three countries in one day. Eventually, my body just got to the point of shutdown. I was really, really sick. I remember saying [in the hospital], ‘I need to get on a flight to Germany. I’ve got a show to do. You gotta give me something.’ That was the mentality.”
She continued: “I was having extreme headaches, being sick. They found viral arthritis in my knee. I couldn’t do anything really.
“But that was my drive. And then when I finally got out of the Dolls [in 2010], I had eczema all over my legs, shingles across my face and a stomach ulcer. An acupuncturist told me then, ‘If you don’t scream, your body’s gonna scream for you.”
She’s now found that breathing exercises have helped her understand her body. The singer added: “My foundation is stronger. I’m not saying I’m some kind of guru, or that I’ve got a certificate saying I’ve got everything figured out. If anything, it’s the opposite. But I do feel better.”
