Melanie Sykes, 45, bares all as she strips NAKED for jaw-dropping swimming pool shoot

Melanie flaunts her incredible physique in saucy photoshoot

SHE'S certainly not afraid to show off her incredible physique, but Melanie Sykes took things one step further by stripping completely NAKED for her latest photoshoot.

The brunette beauty, who turned 45 on Friday, has been flaunting her enviable body in an array of bikini snaps recently, taken during her birthday celebrations in Spain.

However, clearly wanting to show off even more of her figure, shots have now emerged online from a, rather saucy, professional shoot - and she's looking phenomenal.

Although majority of her body is underneath the water, Melanie's toned curves are clearly visible, with her pressing her chest up against the side of the swimming pool.

She has her wet hair pushed away from her face in the raunchy snaps, with her smokey make-up smudged underneath her eyes.

The Let's Do Lunch presenter may have turned the big 4-5 last week, but she is certainly looking more body confident than ever at the moment.

She recently confirmed to NewsNewsBlog.blogspot.com that she knows that people think that she's good looking.

"People think I'm sexy," Melanie admitted.

"I've been a model since I was a child, aged 18. People like looking at pictures of me and they still do, so that's great."

She also said, when asked if she had as much confidence in her teens as she does now: "Well no, because I was a child then and I wasn't well travelled.

"I hadn't met enough people or had any life experience, so no obviously not."

Despite looking better than ever now though, Melanie also confessed that she'd actually never stepped foot inside the gym until she was almost 40.

She continued: "Eight years ago I decided to actually join a gym - I'd done yoga and running and things like that. I'd had my second child and I was approaching 40 and thought: Maybe I should invest in my fitness before I get too old? I decided to look fit.

"I don't take it seriously, I just enjoy it. It's not like I've got a whip over my back. it's not serious, it's just something I do because I like it."
