Monica Irimia strips off for sizzling photo shoot

he Cheeky Girls are known more for their risqué outfits than their singing skills.

And now it seems Monica Irimia has departed with the need for clothing at all.

The 26-year-old brunette has posed in the nude for a sizzling photo shoot.

Buff babe: Cheeky Girl Monica Irimia strips off to reveal her new curves after adding eight pounds to her tiny frame

Wearing just a pair of long white gloves, the Romanian pop star shows off her petite figure as she crouches on a chair.

The Cheeky Girl is said to have put on weight for the photo shoot to add some more curves to her slender frame.

She reportedly put on eight pounds to achieve her sexy look.

The pictures also see her wrapped in rubber in a kinky bondage-inspired outfit.

It may be a desperate ploy to grab the spotlight from her twin sister Gabriela, the other half of the cheeky pop duo.

Gabriela has become more famous after her engagement to LibDem MP Lembit Opik.

Since the pair split in July she has been dating Manchester businessman Nicholas Zapolski.

Zapolski recently visited Gabriela's native Romania with the twins to meet their family there.

He is hoping to invest in a forthcoming Cheeky Girl theme park, entitled Cheeky Land, in their hometown of Cluj-Napoca.

The local press have even described the couple as the 'new Barbie and Ken'.

Monica has not been so lucky in love.

Last year she was linked to rugby star Danny Cipriani after the pair met at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel on Halloween.

However the pair have since split and he is now dating Kelly Brook.

Meanwhile, the Cheeky Girls are continuing to expand their business ventures.

After rising to fame in Popstars: The Rivals, they released their song The Cheeky Song (Touch my Bum) in 2004.

Their latest plan is to launch a cosmetic line and a new fashion brand for young fans. Let's hope it doesn't include any rubber bondage wear.
