The soap star strips off for the latest issue of heat magazine which imitates Beyonce's now much copied Terry Richardson shoot for GQ.

Since the split, Jennifer has been spotted wooing new man, ex Geordie Short star Greg Lake, and it looks like the new romance has led to some extra curves.
‘I’m very happy where I’m at with my body and myself and I want to flaunt it!’ she laughs.
‘It’s been worth every pound,’ she adds of her current happiness. ‘Give me two more sizes to have that much fun again!’
The star insists that she hasn’t weighed herself recently but has noticed some changes in her figure:
‘I haven’t weighed myself, but the booty’s kicking out, my boobs have gone up a couple of sizes and
I’m looking a bit cuddlier. I quite like it.’
Not that the 28-year-old is worried about her fluctuating figure, admitting she can always step up her gym routine if needed:
‘I know I can be very good with my diet and exercise, so when I decide I want a slimmer look, I’ll do it.’
