The Only Way Is Essex star, Lucy Mecklenburgh, has spent the last week in the hot Spanish sun so what better way than to show off her tan lines, or lack of them in this case, than posing for popular lads magazine, FHM?

Mecklenburgh, who got engaged to co-star, Mario Falcone, on the recent trip whilst filming the long-awaited TOWIE summer special, The Only Way Is Marbs, even went as far as to praise her female co-stars in the interview (because that’s what men by it for) in the magazine which is due for release this Thursday.

The Essex beauty discussed her female co-stars, such best friend Lydia Bright and sisters Sam and Billi Faiers, whilst posing for the topless shoot for next months edition of the publication.

Speaking to the magazine, Mecklenburgh said:  ”I love curves, but Lydia has the long legs, she’s a bit more modelly. Or Sam and Billie, they’ve got lovely curves,”she told the magazine, whilst laying provocatively on a bed with nothing on but a pair of spotty pants!

The reality star, who was voted number 67 in FHM’s 100 sexiest women last month, went on to discuss how a man should look if he wanted to impress her, whilst posing for more pictures.

She explained: “You need to make an effort. I don’t think you need a full-on suit, but definitely a nice ironed polo, some jeans, something like that.

“If a guy ever turned up in socks and sandals, I’d literally turn around and go home. I’d just be like, “Oh. My. God.”

“Also I hate lairy trousers or shirts. Anything too bright is awful,’ she added.
