Radio presenters Ashley Roberts and Anita Rani brought a dose of high-fashion glamour to their final Heart Radio broadcast of the year this Friday, opting for chic and daring winter outfits as they signed off for the holidays.
Stylish Sign-Offs in Mini Skirts
Ashley Roberts, the 44-year-old former Pussycat Doll, showcased her famously toned legs in a sophisticated beige pleated mini skirt. She paired the skirt with sheer tights and striking black knee-high boots, crafting a perfect winter ensemble. Adding a preppy twist, she wore a blue striped shirt and matching tie, casually draping a grey wool coat over her shoulders. Her accessories included a small white Miu Miu handbag and oversized black sunglasses.
Co-host Anita Rani, 48, also embraced the mini skirt trend, choosing a bold leopard print design. She combined it with festive silver rhinestone tights and chic black ankle boots. To stay warm, Anita layered a black jumper under a leather jacket and accessorised with a cosy brown snood and a matching handbag, completing her look with a pair of black-framed glasses.
Ashley's Triumphant Return to Strictly
This festive radio departure comes hot on the heels of Ashley Roberts' recent return to the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom. Last month, she performed a special rendition of her iconic Jive with professional dancer Neil Jones as part of a spectacular group routine in Blackpool.
The routine featured fellow Strictly alumni Danny Mac, Jay McGuiness, and Layton Williams, incorporating highlights from their most famous dances. Reflecting on her return, Ashley said: 'I'm so excited and grateful to be back on the shiny floor in Blackpool again. Nearly a decade later, let's see if these jive legs can still do their thing! Sequins always help, I'm sure.'
Anita's Romantic Revelation
Meanwhile, Anita Rani has been enjoying blissful personal happiness, recently opening up about her romance with boyfriend Alex Lavery. She described him as a 'beautiful soul' with 'really great energy'.
She shared a particularly romantic gesture, revealing that Alex, 45, had bought her a selection of vinyl records that perfectly matched her music taste. 'When you meet someone who has a similar passion, there is nothing more satisfying than listening to music with him,' Anita explained, touched that he had paid such close attention to her preferences.
As both women wave goodbye to the Heart studio for the holidays, they do so on a high note, balancing successful media careers with exciting personal chapters and unforgettable fashion moments.
