Holly Willoughby's wild schooldays revealed in yearbook photos

Dressed in sexy bunny ears and leopard print fur Holly Willoughby gives a taste of the plunging necklines and figure-hugging outfits she has become famous for.

A series of photographs from the 28-year-old's school yearbook show that her good looks and ease in front of the camera were very much in evidence in her teens.

And it seems that the new This Morning Presenter had a wild side too, as she is pictured in fancy dress outfits that included sexy suspenders and leopard-print fun fur.

The Dancing on Ice star, who is to succeed Fern Britton on the This Morni! ng sofa alongside Phillip Schofield in September, was voted the school's most fanciable female in the 1997 yearbook.

Former classmates told how Holly loved to dress up. Sales manager Stuart Charnley, also 28, said: 'I remember Holly coming to college as a Playboy bunny and bringing the canteen to a complete standstill.

'There were quite a few happy young men,' he added.

Bar manager Glenny Gibson, who was close with Holly at the College of Richard Collyer in Horsham, West Sussex said: 'Holly always loved to dress up.

'She was never shy! about putting it all on show. But I think everyone in the col! lege wil l remember her most for the Playboy bunny outfit. The lads were open-mouthed.

'She gave me the chance to dress up, too. We'd pretend to be Marilyn Monroe in her bedroom and sing Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend.

'She treated me like one of the girls which I really appreciated.

'She was the best friend a boy like me could have after being bullied for being gay.

'She even took me to my first gay club, Revenge, in Brighton. But she was so shocked at the stripper on stage she just stood with her hands over her eyes.'

The new mother, who caused a stir while presenting Dancing on Ice for her risque necklines, has admitted to being 'rake-thin' as a schoolgirl, not developing her famous curves until the age of 17.

'As soon as I hit 17 my hips went "pang", the boobs went "pang". And I remember thinking, "finally!"'

Holly enjoyed a successful modelling career throughout her teens, after being spotted at the Clothes Show Live aged 14.

She was signed to the Storm modelling agency, which also discovered Kate Moss, and appeared in advertising campaigns for Rimmel cosmetics and Pretty Polly lingerie - as well as a less than glamorous campaign for sanitary towels.

'She was incredibly modest about her modelling career,' said Glenny.

'I didn't know about it until we were flicking through Sugar magazine and there was a shot of Holly with a gobstopper in her mouth, and the slogan "RU gobsmacked?" for Rimmel's RU line.

'Even when the jobs got bigger, she never boasted, she just got on with it as if it was a Saturday shop job.

'It's amazing to think she's gone from advertising sanitary protection to becoming a daytime TV queen.'

Holly, who married television executive Dan Baldwin in August 2007, gave birth to her first child, Harry, earlier this year.

Her pregnancy was revealed to millions of television viewers as she hosted the Xtra Factor last November.

As Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh congratulated her on the live show, she said: 'Yes, I am pregnant - I don't know if people know that yet.'

Holly, who is due to begin presenting on the ITV daytime show in September said: 'This Morning has always been the ultimate dream job for me.

'To spend my days sat next to Phil on the sofa just makes it that bit extra special. Now I just can't wait for it all to start.'

Phillip, who boasted on his website that he would get to choose Britton's replacement, said he was very excited at the appointment.

'Holly is a massive fan of the show, a brilliant broadcaster, a fun person to be with and she proved on the morning she spent here filling in for Fern that as presenter, she completely understands the programme,' he said.
