She's admitted she's become addicted to the sequins and sparkles of Strictly Come Dancing - but Kara Tointon was more than happy to strip off to show the latest in lingerie from the Michelle For George range.
The toned beauty was giving her curves a boost with the latest bra, a classic created by Ultimo boss Michelle Mone called 'The One'.
Kara, 27, showed off her moves in both the black and the white version - so there's a choice whatever the colour of your ballgown.

When not posing in her smalls as the face of Michelle for George, Kara has been busy rehearsing for  this year's Strictly Come Dancing Live tour, which kicks off in Nottingham on Friday night.
She's also been spending time getting even better acquainted with her dance partner Artem Chigvintsev after they finally confessed they were a couple earlier this month.
And Kara was all smiles as she and her man arrived in the city on Monday for rehearsals, ahead of the first sold-out show tonight at the Capital FM Arena.

However she and Artem kept things low-key when they were together, with Kara keeping her head down and the couple steering clear of any public displays of affection.
Kara revealed on This Morning last week that she and Artem were dating, and had spent Christmas and New Year together.

'Christmas was lovely and Artem spent it with my family and it was really nice. They all got on really well thank God!'
‘He’s just a real gentleman and I haven’t met one of those for a while.’

Fan favourite Ann Widdecombe is also joining the tour, although she will not be reunited with Anton du Beke.
Instead, she will take to the dancefloor with her arch nemesis Craig Revel Horwood, who slated her routines throughout the show with a series of increasingly catty remarks and low scores.
Craig is also acting as a judge on the show along with regulars Len Goodman and Bruno Tonioli - but Alesha Dixon will be absent from the panel.

2009 runner-up Ricky Whittle - who lost out to Chris Hollins on the show - completes the line-up of celebrity dancers.

And Zoe Ball, who finished third in the 2005 series, is stepping in to host this year, taking over from where previous live show presenter Kate Thornton left off.
The tour will run until February 13 and takes in major cities including Sheffield, Liverpool, Glasgow, Belfast, Birmingham, Manchester, Dublin and London.
• Michelle for George's 'The One' meanwhile is available in Asda stores nationwide.
