Gorgeous Ruth Higham was a key member of the Page 3 family between 1998 and 2004.

It’s not hard to see why the sexy Bolton babe enjoyed such longevity. Her combination of killer curves and classic blonde looks went down a storm with the Page 3 fraternity until she pulled up her bra straps for the last time in the mid-noughties.

But her popularity didn’t go unnoticed. She was quickly signed up to be the face of peanut company, ‘Big D’, the result of which was a 35 per cent sales rise in the first year as pub goers went quite literally nuts for her salty snack endorsement.

She also went on to star in a TV advert alongside The Sun’s very own Jeremy Clarkson. Ruth beat off competition from hundreds of girls after landing the audition six months before the ad aired for the first time.

Ruth says she "absolutely loves" to be involved in TV work that it’s her dream to appear in a primetime television series.

She did feature in a small series about four girls living in a Manchester penthouse, in which she played a goody-two-shoes TV presenter but a major role still eludes her.

Don’t worry Ruth, we’re sure that it won’t be long before you’re a primetime Princess!
