‘If I could’ve been taller I would have. I was always trying to fit into the role of what I thought people wanted me to be.’
The younger sister of Victoria’s Secret model Jessica Hart said despite her struggles, she’s now the happiest she’s ever been.
‘I’m finally at a place where I’m loving life. It’s beautiful to get to a place where we can have a beautiful relationship with ourselves and love who we are,’ she said.

As the sun began to set, the Swisse Ambassador had her blonde hair styled effortlessly to one side.
In another shot that saw Ashley lying on straw-like grass, the beauty looked completely relaxed and at peace with herself.
Opening up to Woman’s Health earlier in the year, the beauty said she used to suffer from an eating condition in her teenage years after being told by those in the industry that she needed to ‘loose weight’.

‘I was being told to lose weight,’ she admitted.
‘But even more than that, it was my own perception of how I should look. A time of counting every almond or bit of apple, I was overexercising and trying not to eat.’
Although she admits there’s days when those negative thoughts return, over a decade on, she said she’s now learnt to deal with the pessimism.
‘I still have that little devil on my shoulder that tell me, ‘You’re not good enough or pretty enough, or you’re lacking’, but now I can just smile at it,’ she said.
