Michelle Heaton dons controversial Peruvian Flake hat... after inspiring The Real Full Monty viewers
She bravely stripped off for The Real Full Monty on Thursday.
Yet Michelle Heaton, 38, looked worlds away from the glitzy on-stage ensembles as she left the gym in London earlier this month.
The former Liberty X singer kept a low profile as she walked with her daughter Faith, six - but raised a few eyebrows with her awkward trucker hat slogan.

Michelle donned a the hat emblazoned with the phrase 'Peruvian Flake' - which is the name of a lifestyle brand born out of the South American country.
Yet Michelle may not be aware that the term also has controversial connotations. According to Urban dictionary, Peruvian Flake is another term for pure cocaine.
When contacted by MailOnline, a representative for Michelle said: '[The hat] was amongst a lot of items she was sent by the company or PR . She was clearly unaware of the connotations.'

Clearly fresh from her workout, the Celebrity Big Brother star slipped her slender pins into a pair of soft grey leggings with matching trainers.
Clutching onto a bright green drink, Michelle also toted her belongings in a sophisticated leather handbag.
Tucking her chestnut tresses back into a low ponytail, Michelle opted for a fresh-faced look with a nude make-up palette.

Michelle's outing comes as she received high praise for bravely baring all during her appearance on ITV's The Real Full Monty on Thursday.
The singer has had a double mastectomy reconstruction and total hysterectomy and spoke candidly about her experience as she prepared to appear on the stage.
The mother-of-two confessed: 'I’m angry, I don’t expect anyone to feel sorry for me, I don’t talk about it with my family and friends as I don’t want them to feel awkward.'

Speaking to Megan McKenna and Coleen Nolan about her breast reconstruction, she explained: 'There is no feeling there, I feel so disconnected with them. I was offered counselling but I just didn’t have time.'
Michelle, who shares children Faith, six, and Aaron, four, with husband Hugh Hanley had the procedures because of the cancer genes she carries, and revealed she is worried about how her daughter will cope if she is also a carrier.
She explained: 'At some point Faith who is only six is going to have to face the decisions I did. I want her to realise I’m not ashamed of my body and she should never be ashamed of hers either.'
