Dare to bare: The contestants looked on in awe as the fashion industry darling, 28, exhibited her tricks of the trade as she unrobed to bare her flawless physique 

The Vogue favourite sent temperatures soaring as she navigated the tricky shoot like a professional in front of an audience of 13 models who soaked up her every move.

Encouraging all the apprehensive girls to do the same as they ushered into the room, Ashley stated: 'Take it all off and come on in!'

With nearly all the girls immediately taking inspiration from the household name and stripping off to join her, she offered more words of wisdom.

'You saw that I just did this, I got curves, I’ve got cellulite, I’ve got bits about myself that I don’t like or that have people have told me I shouldn't like about myself,' she revealed after cheekily flashing her cleavage.

Continuing on, she mentioned: 'Any of you that feel self-conscious right now remember I just took all of my clothes off, so own your confidence!'

Ashley has been on a mission to help women combat body confidence issues, telling SELF magazine earlier this year: 'I’m trying to change how women think about themselves. I’ve been denied jobs because I was too big.

'I’ve also been denied jobs because I was too small. At the end of the day, I’m never going to conform to what anybody wants. This is my body; I’m happy in it,' she revealed. 

Ashley, who recently sizzled in LOVE's film noir-inspired advent clip, has posed in the nude for the likes of Maxim and Grazia UK.

She is currently holidaying in Africa with husband Justin Ervin, after jetting in from sun-kissed Puerto Rico where she displayed her sizzling figure in a number of minuscule bikinis. 

Meanwhile, ANTM's new host Rita Ora - who also joins celebrity stylist Law Roach and Paper magazine's creative director Drew Elliott, alongside Ashley - divided viewers after stepping into Tyra Bank's shoes three weeks ago.

'Remember Rita Ora's long and established career as an international model? Ya, me neither,' wrote fan Zelly Lodin on Twitter. 

'This ANTM is a joke. Rita Ora isn't even a model,' wrote another fan, while a second viewer questioned if Rita could discover a star model on the show.

'Tyra Banks couldn't even produce a top model w(ith) a consistent career, but they expect Rita Ora to?' they wrote.

Despite the backlash, Rita has built a handsome modelling career in recent years - most recently with her self-designed Tezenis campaign, which she also models - as with her Adidas originals collections, where she has collaborated for four years. 

However, according to Rita, hosting the show isn't about filling Tyra's shoes.

'[Tyra] is so supportive. She is the queen,' Rita told Entertainment Tonight. 'This was never filling anyone's shoes - this was a taking her legacy and really making it our own with a new panel.

'I wanted to really find a superstar. I think we all do - somebody that can really compete in this industry in the world we live in and with social media, just being a superstar in all boundaries,' she added.
