However, she admitted that she was taken aback by the skimpiness of some of the outfits, particularly a sparkly red bra teamed with miniscule hotpants with a leather corset that cinched in her tiny waist.

The radio presenter quipped: 'Wow that is not a lot of fabric! I was like did I wear these?! And no tights? I don't know about this one...' 

Turning around to reveal the fabric tail on the back of the shorts, she promptly pulled out some of her classic moves, falling about into fits of giggles as she twerked for the camera.

Ashley then came out in a black and white checked minidress, which she'd previously described as 'my signature look'.

'I didn't know if I was going to get that zipped up,' she admitted, before proudly strutting up and down declaring: 'It still fits!'

She then modelled a bright red Adidas co-ord, consisting of bedazzled shorts and a matching cropped jacket, with her name emblazoned on the back.

Pulling up her hood and shimmying her hips, she showed off her chiselled abs as she sang a couple of lines Played, which was her solo vocal debut in the group.

Ashley was flooded with compliments in the comments, with Strictly Come Dancing star Janette Manrara leading the praise, as she wrote: 'Looking good sis!'

While Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin also commented on the nostalgic post, quipping: 'Turn the corset around Ash! That’s the PCD style! Remember?!? But I love the second outfit, adorable!!!!'

She also revealed that she had been the one to design all the iconic looks, even making some herself by hand, recalling how she always insisted the outfits had to be 'shorter' and calling the clip 'a trip down memory lane'.

'Yupppp!! All designed by yours truly, ME! And some I actually handmade, that was fun having glue all over my hands from those gorgeous rhinestones,' the choreographer said.

'And I still walk around with a needle and thread in my bag to this day! You never know when you might need your corset mended.

'Also, I remember saying shorter shorter shorter! Those little skirts! Ha! And trust me, I’ve been telling the costume designer today, “make everything really short” lolllllll'.

The Pussycat Dolls announced their comeback in March along with their first single in six years, Club Song - produced and co-written by Mike Sabath, who has worked on hits with  and .

However, this month they were forced to axe the entire US leg of their comeback tour due to dismal ticket sales.

Ashley, Nicole and Kimberly had originally announced they would be reuniting as a trio for massive 53-date run across the UK, Europe and North America.

But in a humiliating blow, the band have now been forced to scrap the 33 dates they had planned in their native US as well as Canada after poor sales left arenas 80% empty. 

Even after slashing the price of seats to just $30, organisers had no choice but to pull the plug only a month before they were set to have their first show in Palm Desert  on June 5. 

Sharing a statement to Instagram, the band wrote: 'When we announced the PCD FOREVER Tour, we hoped to bring the show to fans across the world. 

'After taking an honest look at the North American run, we’ve made the difficult and heartbreaking decision to cancel all but one of the North America dates.

'Our UK and European dates are still moving forward as planned, and the response has been incredible, with several shows already sold out,' they continued.

Ashley then came out in a black and white checked minidress, which she'd previously described as 'my signature look' and admitted: 'I didn't know if I was going to get that zipped up!'

She then modelled a bright red Adidas co-ord, consisting of bedazzled shorts and a matching cropped jacket, with her name emblazoned on the back

Ashley was flooded with compliments in the comments, with Strictly Come Dancing star Janette Manrara leading the praise, as she wrote: 'Looking good sis!'

'We are putting everything into making this show a true celebration of the music and the memories, for the fans who have been with us from the beginning and those discovering us for the first time.

'We’re working hard to create the kind of show we’ve always dreamed of bringing to you. We cannot wait to bring this reunion to Europe and make these nights unforgettable.'

The only US date still scheduled is the trio's performance at the 2026 OUTLOUD Music Festival at West Hollywood Park on the weekend of June 5.

The trio will, however, continue the European leg of their tour, which will kick off in Copenhagen in September followed by shows in Paris, Warsaw and the UK. 

Those who bought tickets from Ticketmaster or AXS were informed they would receive a full refund automatically, while those who bought theirs from third-party resellers have been advised to contact their point of purchase.

The Pussycat Dolls' comeback has been marred in controversy  due to the exclusion of three of the group's founding members, Carmit Bachar, Jessica Sutta and Melody Thornton.

Carmit and Jessica have since revealed they were both blindsided by the reunion and were never even asked to take part, .  

Asked by a fan if she was going to , Jessica replied: 'No, I'm not. They have been planning it for a year and blatantly didn't ask Carmit and I.

The Pussycat Dolls' comeback has been marred in controversy since it was first announced due to the exclusion of three of the group's founding members (Kimberly, Melody, Ashley, Nicole, Jessica and Carmit pictured in 2005)

'We are finding it all out the same time you are. I was not contacted regarding the group's decision to move forward, and I learned of these plans at the same time as the public.'

Carmit went on to call the trio's move 'disappointing on a personal level' but added that she remains 'proud of the role I played in helping shape what The Pussycat Dolls became.'

'My intention in sharing this is not to create division, but to honor the truth and the fans who have supported us throughout the years,' she continued. 

'Transparency and respect are values I hold deeply. At this time, I am choosing to focus on my wellbeing and to move forward with positivity and purpose.'
