Imogen Thomas perfect curves in purple bikini For Calendar 2012

After Big Brother, Imogen Thomas made a name for herself in the lads' mag industry, posing in skimpy underwear and swimwear for various publications.

And now, after her much-publicised affair with Ryan Giggs, Imogen is returning to what she is best known for as she shoots pictures for her 2012 calendar in Marbella.

The 28-year-old star was seen showing off her curves in a purple bikini as she soaked up the sunshine and enjoyed a cooling dip in the swimming pool in between shots.

Imogen was later seen relaxing in a hammock, before changing into a pair of black bikini bottoms, and not much else, for another photograph.

It certainly looks like Imogen's calendar is set to contain some of her sexiest photographs yet, as Imogen was seen earlier this month shooting more pictures sitting atop a motorbike in little more than underwear and a leather jacket.

Meanwhile, Imogen came forward on her Twitter page to defend herself after receiving criticism when she stepped out wearing a cheeky 'Your Boyfriend Says Hi' T-shirt.

But while many thought the top was a reference to her affair with Giggs, Imogen insisted it was just chance she happened to be wearing the T-shirt.

She tweeted: 'My Tshirt yesterday is a gym TSHIRT. I didnt know there was paparazzi outside my home!

'The Tshirt doesnt mean anything. Get a life saddos!!!'

It has been a busy few months for Imogen, who has been presenting segments on ITV programme This Morning.

And the former Big Brother star also recently revealed she is aiming to make it in the movie industry after landing a role in a big Hollywood film.

While she said she couldn't reveal much about the movie, Imogen did say: 'I want more acting roles to come along. I see that being my future.

'I'd love to do an action flick or be a Bond girl - that would be amazing. That would be my goal. Or to play Lara Croft. Basically, I just can't wait for people to see me in a bit of a different light.'

Imogen's affair with married Giggs was exposed earlier this year, despite him taking out a so-called super injunction to prevent her talking about their relationship.
