Sophie Anderton has proudly donned a bikini to reveal her new-found curves.
The model, 32, has put on a stone after a 15-year career spent obsessing over her figure.
Wearing a lime green two-piece, she shows off her healthy-looking body in a photo shoot for Closer magazine.
Sophie has piled on the pounds in the past three months and says she is keen to accept her body for what it is.
She said: ‘I’ve finally realised you don’t need to be super-skinny to be a successful model. Look at Cindy Crawford – she’s got a gorgeous, healthy figure. Even Kate Moss has put on weight.’
Sophie, who had a highly publicised battle with drug addiction, added: ‘I survived for days on coffee and Red Bull. No wonder I got skinny!
‘My addiction and constant partying had a terrible effect on my body – I was just so unhealthy. But now I’m feeling good.’
Recent pictures showed Sophie with a slightly protruding tummy, but the model blamed the look on bloating.
She says: ‘My period was due and I always blow up like that – it’s just water retention. Before, I would have been devastated by a photo like that, but now I think it’s funny. I’m happy with my body, that’s the main thing.’
Sophie put weight on by eating larger portions. She also included foods such as white rice, oil, butter and cream.
Eventually she added a stone in weight, going up from 9st 7lbs, and a size 6 to an 8.
She said: ‘Now some people think I look “big'” when actually I’m normal. I like to look slim, but not skinny or gaunt – that’s never attractive.”
The full feature appear in this week’s issue of Closer magazine, out today.
