Apprentice lingerie China star Jessica Cunningham strips off in new lingerie shoot, and says she would even pose NAKED
APPRENTICE beauty Jessica Cunningham has hit back at winner Alana Spencer who slammed her for stripping off in lingerie shoots – insisting she would even go nude.
The 29-year-old business woman faced jibes from series champion Alana this week, who insisted image should play not part in corporate success.

But confident Jessica, who posed in suspenders for this exclusive new sexy shoot, labelled criticism “a load of rubbish” and added: “I would go nude for a photo shoot – why not?”
The brunette explained: “I’ve had a couple of women who have criticised me for posing in my lingerie and said that I’m not a credible business woman but I think that is an absolute load of s
.
“If you look at people like Carol Vorderman, Michelle Mone, Victoria Beckham, Kim Kardashian – they are all successful women who have posed in lingerie.
“It doesn’t take away the years of experience, the years of business and what they’ve gone through but not only that – I am a mum of three and I work really hard for my figure.”
She added: “I am bringing out a lingerie collection next month so it is only natural for me to want to create hype and a buzz about what I’m doing. But instead I have been told that I haven’t got a brain.
“I work hard to get my figure the way it is – it makes sense for me to become the face of my brand. If I started off my career as a model and then went into business I would have beauty and brains.
“But because I started off in business and have now turned my hand to modeling people are saying it takes away my credibility.
“It annoys me that when a man is portrayed as sexy he is successful and charming – it is perfectly okay for a man to have sex appeal but as soon as a woman that has got a brain between her ears poses in lingerie it takes that credibility away.

Queen drummer Roger Taylor’s lingerie China daughter Tigerlily is new face of international lingerie brand Bluebella
WITH rock superstar Roger Taylor for a dad and her mum being eighties supermodel Deborah Leng, it’s hardly a surprise that Tigerlily Taylor is the face and body of an international lingerie brand.

Speaking about the sexy lace pieces she says: "I love the idea of buying lingerie for yourself and not just for your partner.
“It is also incredibly wearable but very sexy, too."
Starting her modelling career after being signed by Select during her A-Levels, Tigerlily feels like she’s not the typical model type.
“I was an awkward, grungy teenager and a massive tomboy. Of course I wanted to be tall and skinny but now I don't care at all.
"I am not a super skinny 6ft 10in giraffe model but I am completely comfortable with my body as it is."

Despite her success, the young model who hopes to be a journalist or author, admits that we won’t be seeing her on the catwalk as it makes her too anxious.
"You do get an incredible adrenalin rush afterwards but I find it a bit too stressful," she explained.
The stunning blonde is dating fellow model Henry Pedro-Wright, and the pair have even earned themselves the title of London’s Coolest Couple by Vogue, however this doesn’t meant they’ll be celebrating with any nuptials.
"Henry has really calmed me down, but I am never getting married,” she says.
“I don't believe in the institution. It takes away all the romance and I would feel trapped."Related storiesHADID YOU KNOW..?Who is Gigi Hadid?
