Heidi Klum is releasing a coffee table book full of nude pictures of herself.

The Victoria's Secret model has teamed up with renowned photographer Rankin for the new tome, titled 'Rankin's Heidilicious'.

She explained: "It's very naughty. I've been shooting with Rankin, for seven years and working with him is fun because he always makes me look different.

"He always gets me to take my clothes off for some reason. We'll do some job and then he'll say, 'Why don't we shoot some more things?' and I'll wind up without anything on."

The book is due to hit stores in October.

Heidi - who is currently pregnant and already raises three children with her musician husband Seal - has also spoken about the new Barbie doll which she has inspired.

The 36-year-old star was delighted to be offered the chance to be immortalised as part of the company's Blonde Ambition Collection as it gave her the chance to right alter something which has always annoyed her.

She explained to Los Angeles Confidential magazine: "They said, 'We want you to be part of this.' And I thought, 'Wow!' Growing up with Barbie, it was a dream to get my own. I got to go to Mattel and look through the heads and hair and outfits.

"I wanted it to be my daughter's favourite, so I'm wearing the glitziest pink mini dress in the world. And it always bothered me that Barbie was naked, so mine has on this cute pink bra and panties."
