It’s been a while since your last men’s mag shoot. How did you feel posing for MAXIM?
Strangely, I felt a lot more confident and uninhibited. I was a lot more comfortable in this shoot than any other I’ve done. I’m feeling the fittest I ever have, and I guess when you feel this way it gives you more confidence. I feel very comfortable in my own skin right now and that’s what being a woman is all about. It’s about embracing yourself and your capabilities. It’s like, this is me, this is who I am.
How did you prepare for it?
Leading up to the shoot I’d been keeping pretty fit anyway, so I didn’t really have to change anything. I’m a big advocate of healthy eating and fitness, so I wasn’t pigging out on pizza the night before or anything like that. So I didn’t really have to change my routine too much.
This issue has a health and fitness theme. What do you do to look this amazing?
I love Pilates. Nothing shapes my body better. Plus I swim and do lots of walking with my dog Abbey, who needs a lot of exercise. That sounds lame but it’s true.
When do you feel your sexiest?
I feel sexiest when I’ve just come out of the ocean, hanging out on the beach in the sun, and the salt dries on my skin.
What do you wear to bed? Are you a PJs, undies, or commando kinda girl?
More than usual commando! I rarely sleep in pyjamas. I often don’t even pack them when I travel.
Why did you want to do this shoot?
Well, I’ve always been a big fan of the magazine. I’ve followed you guys since you launched and you’ve had such strong and sexy women on the cover who I really admire. MAXIM is definitely something I’ve always wanted to do, so when I was approached to do it I jumped at the opportunity.
How did you feel after?
I pretty much crashed out. There’s so much going on at the moment. Together with my training regime for Celebrity Splash!, I’m flying to and from Los Angeles, I’m doing a regular travel segment for The Morning Show, I’m doing photo shoots… Look, it’s everything I want and more, but you have to be careful and balance your time for the sake of your health.
