Stripping off again! Melanie Sykes poses in swimwear for racy new shoot as she admits she told son that Twitter flirting was 'a mistake'
The world saw her in her underwear last year when she posted a series of saucy public snaps to toyboy Jack Cockings on Twitter.
And now Melanie Sykes has stripped off again for a racy new shoot, proving that she's still unafraid about showing off her toned physique.
But despite her body confidence, the 42-year-old has admitted that she had to sit her young son down to tell him that her Twitter flirting with her now fiancé was 'a mistake'.
New racy shoot: Melanie Sykes strips down to multi-coloured swimwear for a sultry new shoot in Hello! Magazine
Speaking to Hello! Magazine, the TV presenter said: 'We were just being silly and having a joke, but the way it was put across made it more difficult to handle.'
The star admits that speaking to her son about the very public situation was difficult and she didn't realise that the situation would cause such controversy.
'I had to ride the wave for a couple of weeks and went away with my boys. While we were there, I did talk a little bit about the situation to my older son - I was under fire and I was struggling with it and he could sense that.'
'Made a mistake': Melanie admits that she told her eldest son that the raunchy Twitter messages she'd written to 26-year-old Jack had been a mistake
Controversial shot: Melanie posted a picture of herself in her underwear to toyboy lover Jack during their steamy public exchange on Twitter
Still going strong: Despite the initial controversy surrounding their relationship, the couple seem to be going from strength to strength
'I told him I'd made a mistake and that I'd said some things other people felt I shouldn't have done,' she added.
The full interview with Melanie Sykes is in the latest issue of Hello! Magazine
Reclining on a large white sofa, the mother-of-two poses in a muti-coloured swimsuit, showing of her long limbs and svelte figure.
The racy swimwear, which has the top and bottom sections joined by a small gold chain, is paired with large gold earrings, and a pair of towering stilettos.
The bride-to-be has her dark hair style in sultry waves which fall over her shoulders and she wears a face of full make-up.
Despite the controversy surrounding the fact that Melanie got engaged to 26-year-old Jack after just four months, the relationship seems to be going form strength to strength.
'He is absolutely my equal,' she said. 'In terms of intelligence, humour, ethics, our ideas about family, we just connect on every level, and that's quite a thing to find.'
'There are people who will always be cynical about my relationship with Jack because of how we got together,' she added.
'But he makes me happier than I've ever been and if I'm happy, my boys are happy, it's a big circle - and that's all that matters.'
In one of the racy posts from last year, Melanie tweeted that she had 'the giddiest knickers of my life' and told Jack: 'I've got the raging horn, please take me'.
In another, smitten Melanie wrote: 'Jack the rabbit I need some bunny love so hop to it!! Xxx boing boing!!! Loooooool xxxxxxx'.
