On Sunday the bombshell made another rare appearance on the What Do You Want? podcast with her close pal Jillian Barberie and personality Twelve28rx.
A fun snapshot taken on the podcast set was shared to Instagram.
The Melrose Place actress was every inch a bombshell as she wore a white outfit.
‘Hello everyone! We have a brand new podcast page! @wdywpodcast,’ the caption read. ‘Our other one got hacked! Starting fresh! Please follow this page going forward. We have a release date! We will announce the date on next post! Can’t wait!’
Fans went nuts for Locklear’s youthful appearance after a few bumpy years. Â
‘Heather looks amazing!’ said a follower while another said the siren appeared ‘gorgeous’. ‘You do not age Heather!’ added another follower.
Locklear was memorably on TV’s Melrose Place from 1993 until 1999.Â
She played scheming Amanda Woodward on Melrose Place until the show ended in 1999. Her costars were Rob Estes, Jack Wagner, Courtney Thorne-Smith, Josie Bissett, Thomas Calabro and Kelly Rutherford, among others.
The blonde also popped back on the new version of the show from 2009 until 2010.Â
Heather was also known for her marriages – she was wed to Pamela Anderson’s ex, Tommy Lee, as well as Bon Jovi vet Richie Sambora.  Â

This comes after she had a rough patch as she went in and out of rebab in 2018 and 2019; the star appears to be much better these days and more stable.
It was reported in 2021 that Heather ‘couldn’t be happier’ with her fiancé Chris Heisser, with sources saying the couple are ‘in a really good place’ as they take their relationship to the next level.
An insider said: ‘Heather and Chris are in a really good place right now. They couldn’t be happier. They each go out of their way to make the other feel special – she’ll cook for him, he’ll buy her flowers, etc.’
The star and her fiancé are high school sweethearts, and their romance dates back to the 70s, although they fell out of touch and only reunited in 2017.
But they split last year.Â

In February Locklear said she thought she was too old to join the cast of Melrose Place when she was offered the role – aged 30.
The actress shot to fame on the 1990s primetime drama and has now reflected on her introduction to the show during an episode of the ‘Still the Place’ podcast, hosted by her former co-stars Daphne Zuniga, 61, Laura Leighton, 55, and 56-year-old Thorne-Smith.
She said: ‘I watched the show because there was so much press on it.
‘And I was going, Oh my God, this show is gonna be great … and I wish I could be on it, but I’m too old.
‘I was, like, 30. Or almost 30 or something like that. And you guys were all 20, early 20s.’
Melrose Place premiered on Fox in July 1992 and followed the lives of a group of 20-somethings living in a fictional West Hollywood apartment complex.
The original cast included Courtney, with Daphne and Laura joining later in the season.
When ratings stagnated, producer Aaron Spelling, who had previously worked with Heather on ‘Dynasty’ and ‘T.J. Hooker’, cast her in an attempt to boost interest in the series.
Aaron, who had referred to Heather as his ‘lucky penny,’ initially brought her in for a short guest arc.

The actress also recalled receiving a call from her manager about the role, on Melrose, adding: ‘I go, “Of course. Yeah. That’d be fun”.
‘I just said, “I wanna be a businesswoman. I don’t wanna be Sammy Jo from Dynasty. I don’t wanna, like, be a quirky girl”.’
Her Melrose character, advertising executive Amanda Woodward, made her debut in a January 1993 episode.
The show’s ratings improved significantly, and Fox subsequently ordered 10 additional episodes for the first season. Heather was then promoted to a main cast member for season two of the show, and her Amanda character quickly became a central antagonist, cementing the actress as one of the show’s breakout stars.
