FHM magazine has unveiled its first cover star since making a comeback after a six-year hiatus.
Former Mis-Teeq star Sabrina Washington looked absolutely stunning as she helped relaunch the famed lads' mag which is now back with a bang after disappearing from shelves back in 2016.
The title bid farewell to the media world with Holly Willoughby appearing on the final cover as publisher Bauer Media decided to end its run at the forefront of male literature saying: "Young men’s media habits have continually moved towards mobile and social."
However the glossy mag – which became well known for its 100 Sexiest Women Poll and High Street Honeys competition and helped to raise the profile of stars including Michelle Keegan and Kelly Brook – embarked upon a soft relaunch back in October 2021.
Now Sabrina, 43, has been hand-picked to help bring back the iconic consumer title.
The cover sees Sabrina posing nude with lavish burgundy feathers covering her naked body and an ornate gold headdress adorning her.
She has made history by becoming the oldest model to appear on the cover – with that title previously held by US star Carmen Electra when she was 41.
Sabrina's 10-page feature shoot was held at Stringfellow’s strip club in London’s Soho and shot by burlesque photographer Veronica Marx.
Sabrina was just 22 years old when she found fame as part of Mis-Teeq and now 20 years on is hoping to launch her solo career this year.
She told FHM: "I’ve been all over the country performing. As a performer during COVID, none of us had any idea if we’d get to perform again and as things were opening back up during the summer, there was still hesitation, but then gigs came flying in!
"It was like waiting for a bus, but then 60 turned up. I’ve also been making the finishing touches to my debut album, I’ve been saying for about 10 years, but I promise it’s coming before the summer!"
Sabrina then explained how being back on stage has helped her to build her confidence.
She added: "Offstage, I’m usually very quiet and quite shy, which surprises people. But when I’m on stage, I feel free. I’ve heard stories of other artists who’ve had similar experiences, such as the late, great Freddie Mercury and David Bowie.
"Like them, I also write the majority of my music, so when I’m singing it’s more emotional for me. To me, it’s art and every time I create art, I feel a tide that reminds me of who I am and what I love."
FHM's February issue is out now.
