Amy Diamond: From Lad Mags To Andrew Lloyd Webber

Like many modern young women, Amy Diamond's spent a fair share of time exposing her breasts to the camera—and she's not ashamed to admit it.

The former glamour model—who you may remember as one of Nuts's 100 sexiest women of 2009—is currently a contestant on "Over the Rainbow," a BBC reality show/competition for the lead role in Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Wizard of Oz." Far from downplaying her topless past, Amy's actually gone on record saying that she thinks it's given her the "guts and determination" needed to win it all. Now that's an attitude we can appreciate!

Of course, if Amy does win, it won't be without precedent—fellow lad mag model Sophie Reade did take home the prize on "Big Brother." Maybe all that "guts and determination" really does help a girl succeed...
