She has appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit edition twice but Chrissy Teigen ditched her clothes completely for a new magazine cover.

The 29-year-old beauty - who is releasing her own cookbook - stripped off for a new feature in Women's Health UK in which sportswomen and celebrities talk about their body insecurities.

And Chrissy, wife of singer John Legend, insisted she only works out so that she can eat whatever she wants.

'I used to take pride in the fact I didn't have to work out, and then I hit that age where you have to,' she said. 'I want to drink champagne and have hearty dinners, so I would rather work out for an hour and be able to do what I want.'

'I've always had to watch myself. My family is not naturally thin and we put on weight quickly. I find low-carb works for me.'

Chrissy also revealed that she can't wait to have children with John and is excited about the chance to not worry about her weight during pregnancy.

She said: 'I'm waiting for things to slow down, but things don't seem to be slowing down, ever, so I think, "Just have one and deal with it." I'd love to have an excuse to be bigger. People will know as soon as I'm pregnant because I'll stop drinking.'

Chrissy is not the only star to pose for the magazine, with former The Only Way Is Essex star, Lucy Mecklenburgh, also stripping off.

Lucy, who is the founder of fitness site Resultswithlucy.com, admitted being on the reality TV show was not good for her figure.

'TOWIE didn't just bring me fame, it made be bigger than I'd ever been before,' she said. 'I was drinking every night, living off pasta – I'd never worried about exercise or 'no carbs before Marbs', but suddenly I couldn't fit into my jeans.

'So two years ago I started working with a PT Celia Harris. I slimmed down quickly and I'd wake up happier, more motivated – I wanted to get to the gym to push my body.'

Personal trainer Chloe Madeley, 28, showed off her figure in all its glory and admitted that she first started working out in order to look like Britney Spears.

What a transformation: Lucy Mecklenburgh said she piled on the pounds when she joined TOWIE but got in shape and set up her own fitness company when she quit the show

The daughter of TV presenters Richard Madeley and Judy Finnegan explained: 'My body started with a challenge. I was watching MTV and made a bet with my PT [and ex], Danny Young,that he couldn't make my body look like Britney Spears' circa 'I'm a Slave 4 U'. He proved me wrong in three weeks. I never looked back. From there, I decided to become a PT.'

And 39-year-old TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher admitted she is not always body confident but is getting better.

The beautiful brunette - who split from husband Paul Sampson last year - said: 'If I was going to rate my body confidence out of 10, I'd say seven. This time last year, it would've been much lower, but after a divorce and juggling full-time work with two kids, I made the decision to start channeling my energy into positive things, and that includes getting into shape.'

They've been joined in the magazine spread by some inspiring athletes with each of the women discussing why they are proud of their bodies, not just for their beauty, but their strength, power and imperfections.

In the article, many of the women talked about overcoming self-doubt about the way they look to appreciate how their body works.

Sophie Hitchon, who is a British Olympic Hammer Thrower and Current British Record Holder, revealed that she used to hate her sturdy figure but now loves it.

She said: 'I love my big thighs. I wouldn't be able to pick up a hammer without them. I put blood, sweat and tears into building them up.

'When I was younger, I always wished I was more petite or willowy; now they're a symbol of my success as an athlete.'

'I won't lie – as a woman, there are times when you look in the mirror and think, 'I wish this was smaller, I wish that was flatter.'

'But when you're an athlete, you need to train for your PB, not what you look like.'

Sophie isn't the only sportswoman to have overcome body insecurities that came about from her training.

Fran Halsall, who is a European Champion Swimmer, Commonwealth Gold Medalist and World Silver Medallist has developed a strong upper body after years of training.

She said: 'I have a very particular body shape – but I've accepted my big shoulders are the tools of my trade.

'Although it'll be nice not to be as big when I stop swimming competitively in the future, I'll still want to stay lean and athletic. I'll always want to work on my body.'

Not everyone had this attitude though, in fact, Samantha Murray, who is a World Champion Pentathlete and Olympic Silver Medalist, believes her body looks the best it ever will at the moment.

She said: 'It would be an insult to my body to say there are parts I'm not keen on – it's served me so well and I couldn't have won an Olympic medal without it.

'People say pentathletes have sport's most beautiful bodies because of their diverse training plan – I've got the tone of a swimmer, the leanness of a runner, strong thighs from riding and good glutes from fencing.'

'I'll always stay in good shape, but this is probably the best my body will ever look – and I couldn't respect it more.'
