Tyra Banks "always feels great" when she is naked.

The 'America's Next Top Model' presenter - who was criticised when she was photographed looking heavier than usual in an unflattering swimsuit in 2007 - insists her weight has never affected how she feels about her body.

Tyra - a former Victoria's Secret model - revealed her weight has fluctuated from 148lb to 162lb since she quit modelling, but she has now shown off her new svelte figure with a photo shoot in New York.

Tyra - who is now a UK size 8 - told US talk show host Larry King: "I might be doing a little TMI [too much information] - I always feel great when I don't have clothes on.

"When I told the world to kiss my fat a*s, I remained that size for two years. I maintained it with my ice cream and my salad with ranch and dressing and croutons and bacon bits."

But, I've made millions of dollars with the body I have, so where's the pain in that?If I was in pain, I would have dieted. The pain is not there - the pain is someone printing a picture of me and saying those horrible things.

In the new photo shoot, Tyra looks stunning in a tight grey knee-length dress, black tights and knee-high boots. In another shot, the star dons a sexy off-the-shoulder fitted brown knit dress.

The 35-year-old beauty admits she does feel happier when she is slimmer, but she wants women to learn to love their bodies, whatever size they are.

She said: "I feel more comfortable when I'm lighter - I sleep better, I snore less, I have more endurance when I work out, my arms look better.

"But, I've made millions of dollars with the body I have, so where's the pain in that?

If I was in pain, I would have dieted. The pain is not there - the pain is someone printing a picture of me and saying those horrible things."
