VIRGIN worker Claire Tuersley has joined the ranks of Helen Mirren and the Women's Institute to pose naked for a charity calendar.

Miss Tuersley, 33, a manager for Virgin Cosmetics, runs a team of eight party planners across north and west Wiltshire.

The mother-of-two bared all to appear as Miss March and September in the 2004 calendar produced by the Cotswold and South Wales region of the Virgin Cosmetics Company to raise money for CLIC.

She said: "I was terrified as we were completely starkers, but it was a good laugh in the end. There were about 13 of us, and we all knew each other, but a few of them had a good drink beforehand."

The women travelled to the Gloucester home of one of the volunteers for the shoot.

Miss Tuersley, of Allen Road, Trowbridge, said: "My family doesn't mind and my partner thought it was good really, but I haven't shown my sons who are only six and four.

"I don't think I will do it again."

The calendars cost £5 and are available from Miss Tuersley on (01225) 352308.
