Ex-Corrie star Lucy-Jo Hudson's confidence has hit an all-time high in a new sexy lingerie photo shoot.
The 25-year-old actress, who played rebel Katy Harris for three years in the long-running soap, shows off her stunning body in a lacy bodysuit, reminiscent of supermodel Kate Moss in a 2006 advertising campaign for Agent Provocateur.
In that short film directed by Mike Figgis, Moss poses on a flight of stairs wearing black lingerie, suspenders and gloves.

It's a new-found confidence for the actress who piled on the weight when she played Katy Harris in Corrie. After a strict exercise and diet regime, Hudson is keen to show off her slim, toned size 8 figure.
'I’m very confident about my new body now and think I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in.
'I’m ready to play much sexier, more grown-up roles. I’d love to be in a West End show like Chicago or Mamma Mia!, or in a period drama.'

Hudson turned to her brother Ryan Hudson, a rugby league star who plays for the Castleford Tigers to help her shed the pounds.
As a sportsman and personal trainer, he helped his sister re-evaluate her eating habits and get back into exercise.
Hudson told Closer: 'When I ate stodge and ready meals, I had no energy and felt tired and sluggish, but eating smaller, lighter meals has made a huge difference.
'Now I’m always full and never reach for cakes or puddings.'
Another incentive for healthier approach to life, is Hudson's impending wedding to Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall.
