Revealing: Jennifer Ellison shows off her post-baby body in a promotional photo with the cast of the Liverpool cast of Calendar Girls

Looking slim and curvaceous, it’s impossible to tell Jennifer Ellison gave birth just four weeks ago.

The new mother, who has already lost most of her baby weight, bared all for her new role in Calendar Girls.

Ellison, 26, will be following in the footsteps of Kelly Brook, Gemma Atkinson and Hannah Waterman and stripping off for the show, which hits Liverpool’s Empire Theatre in September.

She will be baring all – her modesty covered by some strategically place props – in the comedy-drama which also stars Bread star Jean Boht, Hi De Hi's Ruth Madoc and Denise Black.

Ellison also reveals her husband and newborn will be going along for the ride.

‘I doing eight weeks [in the show], which is perfect,’ she said.

‘Rob and the baby are going to come with me, so I’m really lucky in that sense.’
And Ellison admits she can’t wait to get back to work.

‘I need to. Not for money, but for myself, my sanity,’ she admits.

‘I can’t wait to get back to work. I don’t know how women can just sit at home all day. I’d go insane!’

The 2003 version of Calendar Girls, which starred Julie Walters, Helen Mirren and Celia Imrie, told how WI members stripped off for a calendar to raise money for charity.
