Jennifer Ellison Topless: Jennifer Ellison looking ever so delicious: The former Brookside actress appeared topless and posed suggestively with some sweet treats from a cake stand in her West End role as trophy wife Celia, aka Miss September.

The 27-year-old, who gave birth to her first child, son Bobby with boxer husband Robbie Tickle last February, showed off her curves after battling down from a size 18 to a size 8.

Jennifer, now 10 stone, said she managed to shed three stone with diet and exercise was back to stripping on stage just one month after giving birth. The mum-of-one was joined on stage yesterday by Danielle Lineker.

Model Danielle, 31, kept her clothes on as she made her acting debut at the Bristol Hippodrome. Her 50-year-old former footballing husband Gary was at the performance to cheer on his wife as she took a turn on the boards as beautician Elaine.

She will be starring in the play for three months alongside Bernie Nolan, Lynda Bellingham and Trudie Goodwin. Gary had pushed his wife to have acting lessons so she could show there was more to her than just her good looks.

Danielle took tips on her role from former Calendar Girls cast member and ex-Hollyoaks star Gemma Atkinson, who met her in a London café last November to run through the script.
