Speaking to reporters including Digital Spy at the launch of Ultimo's new lingerie collection - for which she is the face - the Strictly Come Dancing winner revealed that she is "obsessed" with undies.

"I never have not matching sets on," she said. "I've got a bikini and an underwear fetish - I love it. So to be asked to do Ultimo is amazing - it's a dream job."

Clancy agreed that she feels sexier wearing the collection, saying: "I think if you've got nice underwear on, automatically you feel better."

Clancy also suggested that she no longer feels nervous about stripping to her underwear for photoshoots, though she admitted that she has to be careful about what she eats.

"I do like my food, but a week before I'll be eating red velvet cakes and then just trying to be a little bit more sensible," she joked. "Most of the time I work with photographers I'm comfortable around and it seems like a good team, so I think that helps."

Elsewhere, the model - who admitted that she is sad about the fact that the Strictly Come Dancing tour has now ended - explained that she is open to new career options in the future.

"I've never really had a plan with everything that I've done," she said. "Things have come up and I've said yeah or no. Generally it's been things that have been fun or enjoyable, and it's seemed to work so far! So I'll just carry on doing the same!"
