A yummy mummy who landed a major modelling contract after appearing on a television programme is hoping to inspire other mums with her very own show.

Sasha Parker, 24, featured as one of Coleen Rooney's Real Women earlier this year in the ITV programme, which aimed to put real women in high-profile modelling jobs.

Sasha, from Perkins Close, Greenhithe, made it to the final round and was snapped up by Pretty Polly to become the legs and face of its publicity campaign.

Since her television debut the mother of two says she has been inundated with offers of work, including presenting jobs and catwalk offers.

She said: "I have been so busy I have not had a chance to do anything else, it's amazing once those doors open."

Alongside her work for Pretty Polly - which launches its latest tights campaign next week, Sasha is in discussions with rapper Akon to be the face of his clothing range.

She is also planning her television show with Channel 5 presenter of The Wright Stuff, Korin Nolan, who she met at the Race for Life in London.

The programme, to be screened on ITV2, will see the pair help mums who are keen to get back into work, but who are experiencing confidence issues after the birth of their children.

She said: "We talk together all the time now, almost every day."

Two weeks ago, Sasha was also filming a new fitness DVD with new Gladiator and former Olympian Du'aine Ladejo, which is due to be released on Boxing Day.

Mrs Parker said: "I adore modelling, but I didn't just want to be stood in front of the camera, and I've now done a few presenting jobs."

Despite her busy work commitments Sasha admits her family, husband Scott and daughters Bobbi, six, and Eevy, three, still comes first.

She said: "It's hard, but thankfully we are still parenting ourselves, we have not had to get a nanny or anything."

Mrs Parker said she expected to be back on television soon, with a review show for Coleen's Real Women, where Wayne Rooney's wife will look back at how her winning models have progressed since the show.
