Ananova:

Rachel Hunter is to appear topless in Playboy magazine in a deal reported to be worth £1million.

However, the 34-year-old former wife of rock star Rod Stewart won't go fully nude according to those close to her.

She was approached by the magazine when she was 17, but turned down their offer because she was too young.

Hunter is said to have completed the shoot this week. The pictures will appear in a music edition, featuring Rachel because of her marriage to Rod and her fling with Robbie Williams.

A source close to her told The Sun: "She will be going topless but refuses to be completely nude. The pictures will be as tasteful as possible. She's really comfortable showing off her body."

She's due in Australia this weekend to work on film comedy You And Your Stupid Mate.
