The daytime television favourite, who was once a size 20, was photographed in raunchy red satin basque and heels after getting down to a size 10.

Ditching her lifelong habit of yo-yo dieting, Colleen embarked on a healthy eating and exercise regime.

Slim and fabulous: After months of hard work Colleen shows off her new size 10 figure

She now jogs two and a half miles every week.

She told Closer magazine: "I always said I'd like to do a sexy burlesque shoot - and losing the weight has given me the opportunity. Doing it at the age of 42 is just amazing.

"These pictures are for me and my husband Ray so when I'm 60 I can say to my grandchildren: 'Look that was me!' I now know I'll never get big again, because I'd feel like an idiot after all my hard work. I like my body better than when I was 20.

Plump: Colleen Nolan at the ITV 50th birthday party on the South Bank in September 2005

"When I was out jogging the other day I got beeped at four times by van drivers. It sounds stupid, but little things like that can make your day."

Despite her recent triumph in battling the bulge, Colleen admitted Mother's Day was heartbreaking following the recent death of mum Maureen.

The 42-year-old said: "I got really nice cards from the kids this year, I think they made more of an effort because they realised it was the first year without my mum.

"On the one hand it was fabulous to be at home with all the kids, but on the other it would hit me that I don't have a mum.

"It's just things like when you go into a shop and see cards saying 'To my my mum' and I think I will never be able to buy those cards again. So it was really a bitter sweet day for me."
