The 48-year-old food guru squeezed into a PVC catsuit, complete with whip and high heels, for a photoshoot to promote her new book, The complete A-Z guide of healthy life.

Gillian is set on changing the nation's eating habits and judging by her figure, she likes to lead by example.

Gillian told Closer: "I feel so naughty dressed up with my whip in my hand. I immediately felt so in control - and I do love whipping people into shape!

"It's like playing a role. But let's face it, it's a role that fits me because I'm seen as controlling and bossy"

Demure: Gillian's makeover makes a change from her usual look

The Perth-born dietician admits that she wasn't always so confident though, claiming she was a shy child.

"When I was younger, I would go bright red if anyone spoke to me. I was extremely shy. When I went to university, I forced myself to come out of my shell."

Gillian shot to fame in 2004 starring in C4's You Are What You Eat after 20 years of research and training, including a daily fitness routine of Pilates.

"Pilates has given me the stomach muscles of a teenager - you could bounce pennies of my stomach."

Her husband, American lawyer Howard Magaziner, is clearly a fan of her wild new look and Gillian is even contemplating an image overhaul for future television appearances.

"I sent a photo of myself wearing the catsuit to my husband and he said 'You look amazing. Can you bring the suit home with you?'. Maybe I should do a show wearing it."
