The former 'The Only Way is Essex' star, who recently dropped an impressive four stone in weight and five dress sizes, has claimed Hugh Hefner's iconic lads' mag has reached out to her in a bid to arrange a sexy shoot.

She explained: "I have been contacted by Playboy. Nothing's set in stone, but I've been contacted by a Playboy photographer. I will definitely arrange something. Playboy's not going to be around forever and for me to be in one of the last issues would be an amazing achievement.

"A lot of people like Carmen Electra, Katie Price, Kelly Brook have done it and they look amazing."

And the brunette beauty, 29, from Essex, believes getting a huge spread in the cheeky monthly publication will boost her chances of carving a name for herself across the pond.

She told the MailOnline: "I would also love to go out to America. I want to get that sorted before the summer. I think it would help get my name over there a little bit."

But it's not just in America she wants to boost her profile, as she's also keen to get as many nude shoots under her belt in the UK while she's still young and free.

She said recently: "I'd definitely be up for nude shoots now while I'm young and haven't got kids."
