Ashley James suffered an awkward wardrobe malfunction as she enjoyed her birthday night out this weekend.

The former Made In Chelsea star, 38, slipped into a busty corset for the celebrations with friends but ended the night by showing off what happened to her outfit.

She posted to her Instagram Story as she gave a recap of the weekend explaining: ‘I bought this corset as a late purchase back in November and I received it on Friday with an apology for the delay, I forgot I’d bought it but I’m so happy it turned up.’ 

Ashley added: ‘I absolutely love it and strapped my boobs in so they don’t look big! HOWEVER…’ 

She then shared a snap of her outfit after all the partying and penned: ‘This was the end of the night! It’s not structured enough to sustain big boobs (mixed with 5 hours of dancing).

‘Gutted as I loved it but would still recommend for anyone with smaller cleavage!’

She looked great in the outfit which she wore with jeans and styled her hair into gorgeous waves. 

It comes after last month Ashley looked incredible in a ʙικιɴι as she posted pictures of her solo travelling around Mexico as she shared her thoughts on leaving her family at home.

The TV personality stunned as she posed on the beach in a H๏τ pink two-piece which she shared as an Instagram album.

Revealing her thoughts about taking the trip on her one in order to gain some ‘focus’ to work on a project, Ashley wrote a lengthy caption. 

Alongside the album she penned: ‘The last week by myself in Mexico. I won’t lie, I forgot how much I absolutely love spending time by myself.

‘Before going away I felt so much guilt. Guilt about leaving Tommy on his own. Guilt about leaving the kids. I had to really talk myself out of it. Tommy goes away once a week every year for work. I used to always go away by myself – I deserve to go away by myself. They were just some of my thoughts.

‘I went away to focus on a work project that wasn’t getting my attention and focus. It’s been so busy with work and kids – and the broken sleep isn’t great for creativity.

‘I spent a lot of time in Mexico when I first started travelling by myself. Solo travel was what allowed me to stop seeing my single status as failure. It allowed me to start questioning how we view a woman’s worth. It allowed me to fall in love with life!

‘I knew I wanted to come back to this place to work on this project.

‘I savoured every moment. Being in the airport and on the plane and only having to think of myself. Getting to wake up and enjoy slow mornings before a day of work. Getting a full night sleep.

‘It was so nice to reflect on where life is now to where it was when I first went to Mexico. I’ll share that in another post.

‘But for now, here’s some snaps from the week. But I can’t wait to see my babies.’

Ashley has opened up previously about her personal struggles with her self-worth and body image, admitting it took her a ‘really long time’ for her to accept herself.

She is determined to ensure her two-year-old daughter, Ada, never faces those same battles and is committed to breaking free from the societal pressures that often leave women feeling inadequate.

Speaking candidly about her journey towards self-acceptance, Ashley explained how important it is for her to protect Ada from the toxic culture of body image obsession.

She exclusively told MailOnline: ‘I really don’t want my daughter to ever feel like she’s not enough or to ever critique herself, especially when, you know, we can’t change our body shape.

‘Women are so much more than our bodies, and we should be learning how to respect ourselves and strength.’

Ashley said it’s not just about resisting the pressure for women to look a certain way but also about redefining beauty on her own terms.

She emotionally told how she wants her daughter to know her value is not determined by her appearance.

‘I want Ada to grow up and know that she can be a footballer if she wants and not have to waste time thinking about food and diets,’ she shared.

Ashley also reflected on how long it took her to accept her body, a journey that now fuels her pᴀssion to spread positivity and challenge the harmful beauty standards.
