She was seen dancing around the radio studio wearing a red mini skirt, which featured a very high slit along the leg, layered under a grey corset and white top.
The blonde beauty added inches to her toned physique with a pair of red court stilettos and finished her ensemble with a long red cape tied around her neck and a pair of cropped black gloves.
Meanwhile Ashley, 43, also put on an adult twist on the children’s classic as she stepped out in a skimpy grey wolf costume.
Her one-piece featured a hood, fur-lined ears and a fur lining around the hem of her skirt and sleeves.
Adding to her overall look, she painted a black snout on her nose and added inches to her frame with a pair of black leather knee-high boots.
Having some fun in the studio ahead of their 10am slot, the duo was seen putting on a quirky dance around the office before playfully taking pictures in some character-inspired poses.
They were also joined by co-host Jamie Theakston, who looked rather fetching as Red’s granny.

World Book Day is celebrated across the UK and Ireland’s schools every year.
The day is meant to encourage children to pick up reading and learn to enjoy the habit.
The event website says: ‘We want to see more children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, with a lifelong habit of reading for pleasure and the improved life chances this brings them.’

Meanwhile, Scott – dressed as famous Jacqueline Wilson character Tracey Beaker – also revealed Jacqueline is also releasing an adult book
Revealing her exciting news, the beloved children’s author, 79, said: ‘I have a children’s book coming out just after World Book Day, The Seaside Sleepover, when I’ll be rushing round seaside towns all over the country.’
Meanwhile, Scott – dressed as famous Jacqueline Wilson character Tracey Beaker – also revealed Jacqueline is also releasing an adult book.
Explaining everything, Jacqueline remarked: ‘I think there are two of me actually, the one that writes the children’s books, and I love writing children’s books, still going to, but it’s been so exciting in that last year, I revisited three teenage girls that I’d written about in the 1990s and now, god help them, they’re pushing 40. And I thought what fun it would be to actually write about them in an adult novel.
‘It’s called Picture Imperfect. I discovered that what fun it is to, it’s like a party game, you know, thinking about your childhood favourites that you wrote about.
‘And one of the books that people have mentioned over the years is The Illustrated Mum, about a mum who has bipolar disorder, a lovely mum in some ways, but very, very spacy and unreliable, and you’ve got two kids, Dolphin and Star, named after the most popular flash tattoos, because she is called The Illustrated Mum, because she is illustrated all over.
‘And now Dolphin is 33, the exact same age that the mum is in the first children’s book. But today, there’s a statue in Brighton that has just been unveiled, with wonderful tattoos all over it, and the statue is of me!’
