I’m glad Playboy is back – it’s a healthy alternative to OnlyFans and I’d love to be in it when I’m 60

SOPHISTICATION is coming back to the world of glamour modelling, thanks to Playboy’s return.

The images on OnlyFans and other subscription sites don’t have anywhere near the magic of the pictures that I and others used to pose for in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Glamour modelling hasn’t been the same since the end of Page 3 and the lads’ mags – but the return of Playboy as a digital magazine might be the thing to bring it all back.

Models will be able to create stunning pictures with the help of an experienced team under artistic direction from someone with their best interests at heart.

They won’t be exposed to men offering them huge sums for lewd snaps that they might be uncomfortable with.

Gone are the days of agencies having to ensure girls were protected from seedy casting agents or creepy punters.

Playboy’s return is bringing back a chance for upcoming models to take control and be looked after – just like I was.

Playboy’s creator platform is on another level from OnlyFans.

It is safe, exclusive and promises to promote the models as they should and want to be.

It’s a healthy alternative to OnlyFans.

The models will get a five-star shoot, in a safe environment, where they will be protected and cared for by the magazine.

For many, they’ll have a chance to pose as their icons did and find the fame that myself, Linda Lusardi and others achieved.

When I did my first shoot with Playboy, at the age of 30, I felt so empowered and got to choose everything from my location to the photographer.

I even took my mum along for support.

By calling their bunnies “creators”, I hope other girls will feel the same way I did – in control.

The name allows them to call the shots, create their contracts and pick just how much they want to bare to the world.

And with a female boss at the Playboy helm, I’m excited to see how she nurtures the talent that they find when they relaunch.

Instead of only seeing terrible things online relating to sex, Playboy is offering tasteful glamour shots that everyone can enjoy.

I know I’d much prefer my step-sons to be looking at Playboy than some of the other stuff they’ve already come across on the internet.

I always said I’d do Playboy again at 50, but that chance has passed.

Perhaps I’ll do it again at 60.
