Iga beaver

Curvy Polish model Iga Wyrwal dismayed her army of British fans when she announced she was quitting nude poses for acting.

Now the double-D cup beauty has perked them up again by revealing: "It's hard to get a role that does not require me taking my clothes off."

Iga, 23, showed off her talents in the latest edition of her homeland's Playboy magazine after a TV career was cut short when she was voted off Poland's version of Strictly Come Dancing.

Although the outdoor shoot in nippy weather may have been good for her admirers, Iga said: "I was so cold I thought my boobs would drop off."
