Jodie Marsh sent temperatures soaring as she slipped into a racy Playboy swimsuit for a sultry Instagram shoot on Friday.
The glamour model, 46, who rose to fame in the early noughties as a Page 3 girl, put on a busty display in the skimpy red number, which showcased her curvy frame.
The eye-catching one-piece featured a scoop neckline, a high-leg cut and a white Playboy bunny logo, drawing attention to her ample assets.
Jodie struck a slew of sizzling poses while lying on a bed, proudly flaunting her tattooed arm, toned tummy and legs.
She completed her steamy look with her blonde hair swept up in a messy ponytail and a pair of silver stud earrings.
However in stark contrast to the confident shots, Jodie recently opened up about her difficult childhood where relentless bullying made her feel suicidal.
She appeared on the This Is Powerful With Paul Sculfor podcast, where she opened up about her difficult childhood, including being relentlessly bullied at school.

She recalled: ‘I was brought up in the countryside in Brentwood. So, I was a real tomboy, a farm girl.
‘I’ve always been an animal lover, and I loved it. I spent my childhood running around cow fields, stroking cows and being licked by cows and climbing trees and shooting at targets, not animals.’
But her school years were far less idyllic, she continued: ‘Yeah, I was a real tomboy. I loved it. School was horrific. I was bullied the whole way through school. Badly and relentlessly, both girls and boys.
‘And I was bullied physically and verbally. Actually, as a child, my dream was to be a vet. I wanted to be a vet to look after animals.
Jodie revealed that the torment changed the course of her life forever: ‘The bullies changed the course of my life.
‘Because at 14 years old, I wrote in my diary, I want to be a famous model to prove to my bullies that I’m not ugly, because they called me ugly every day of my school life.’
The abuse left deep emotional scars, with Jodie admitting she felt suicidal as a young teen: ‘I was suicidal. Yeah. At 14. It was horrific. Bullying is horrific.
‘I still make a stand against bullying constantly. You know, I’ve done lots and lots of work for bullying.

Jodie has since become a vocal anti-bullying advocate: ‘I’ve worked in schools as an adult. I’ve made four TV shows about bullying.
She continued: ‘I’ve implemented programs into schools to combat bullying and make the schools better, and give the teachers tools to deal with it.
‘I have been invited to Downing Street multiple times for my work with bullying. It’s horrific. It’s absolutely horrific. I was suicidal at 14. I wanted to die.
‘I couldn’t see a way out because when you’re in it and you’re that age, you think that’s your whole world. You think there’s nothing out there bigger than what you’re going through right now.
‘You can’t see a way out. You don’t realise at that age there’s a whole wide world out there full of amazing people who actually will love you for who you are, and will support you, and cherish you, and raise you up for everything you are.
‘Like, just because you’re not getting that at school doesn’t mean you won’t get it in the real world. No, but you don’t know then.’
Jodie rose to fame in the early 2000s as one of Britain’s most recognisable glamour models, becoming a staple of lads’ mags and Page 3.
Known for her bold fashion, striking looks and no-filter personality, she was a tabloid fixture – appearing on red carpets, in reality shows and gossip columns.

She later stunned fans by reinventing herself as a natural bodybuilder, undergoing a dramatic physical transformation and competing in and winning several competitions.
Her journey was documented in a series of TV specials, earning her praise for her discipline and work ethic.
More recently, Jodie has turned her focus to serious subjects, presenting documentaries on bullying, plastic surgery, and steroid use – using her platform to raise awareness and spark conversation.
While she may no longer dominate the gossip pages like she once did, Jodie continues to defy expectations – proving she’s much more than just a former glamour model.
