She won The Sun newspaper's Page 3 Idol 2012 modeling contest, and she frequently appeared as a Page 3 girl in that newspaper. She has been featured regularly in men's magazines, such as Nuts , Zoo , Front , Loaded , and Maxim . [1] In addition to her own subscription based website, she has modelled for several internet based erotic websites, such as Suicide Girls , [2] Pinup Wow, [3] Onlytease, [4] CurvedFX, [5] and Xtreme Playpen.

Career

Collett attended Myton School in Warwick. [9] She began her modeling career at age 17 as a hair model for Toni & Guy salons. At this time, she began dyeing her naturally brown hair blond and, later, her signature red colour. In December 2011, at the age of 22, she was declared the winner of The Sun's Page 3 Idol 2012 competition and became a Page 3 girl. [10]

FHM called her part of a "welcome new trend for curvaceous womanliness." [8] Collett has always tried to "send out the message that you don't have to be a size six to be a model" [10] and that she wants to promote a healthy body image for girls and women. [9]

Collett has presented Nuts magazine's web series of games news and reviews, "Girl Got Game", [11] and, in March 2015, she began presenting ZOO magazine's web series "Game On". [12] In February 2015, she presented a one-off video feature with Talksport. [13]

Personal life

On 19 May 2005, Collett's 17-year-old brother Jacob was assaulted by another teenager following an altercation outside a pub in Leamington. [14] He suffered a brain haemorrhage and died in Warwick Hospital around 1am on 20 May 2005. His assailant was subsequently convicted of manslaughter and received a six-year prison sentence.

<i>FHM</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">s</span> 100 Sexiest Women (UK) Annual listing compiled by FHM magazine

FHM's 100 Sexiest Women was an annual listing compiled by the monthly British men's lifestyle magazine FHM, based on which women they believe to be the "sexiest". As of 2017, each year's list is first announced through a section on FHM's official website, FHM.com. The first listing was published in 1995 and was voted for by a panel of 250 judges. The inaugural winner was German supermodel Claudia Schiffer. From 1996 to 2015, the poll was instead voted for by the general public with, at its height, several million votes being cast each year. Subsequent winners have included the British singer Cheryl, the American actress Halle Berry, and Jennifer Lopez. At 36 years old, Berry is the oldest woman ever to top the listing, while Lopez is the first to top the list more than once. By the time FHM ceased publication of its print edition in January 2016, the 100 Sexiest Women list had been compiled 21 times. The most recent holder of the Sexiest Woman title is the Israeli Actress Gal Gadot in 2017.

Nudity in print media is a phenomenon which has existed in many countries.
