LINGERIE tycoon Michelle Mone can be justifiably proud of her latest Ultimo model - herself.
After shedding more than six stones in weight, the businesswoman shows off her trim new figure in her latest advertising campaign.
Michelle decided to take herself in hand after years of working with glamorous Ultimo models, including Kelly Brook, Rachel Hunter and Jennifer Ellison, left her feeling fat and frumpy.

She added: "It took a lot to pluck up the courage and do this. I know it will shock the business world.
