Nadia Sawalha left little to the imagination as she posed in a bra and knickers while waiting to surprise husband Mark.
The 57-year-old Loose Women star strutted her stuff round her living room in a matching underwear set and boots.
In a video shared with her 488,000 Instagram followers, Nadia said: “Right, so Mark’s back in a couple of hours and I’m preparing a bit of a surprise for him.
“Every year he buys me a really nice bra and knicker set, something a bit flowery or lacy, whatever. Matching.”
Laughing, she continued: “It’s always a bit awkward because both he and I know I’m never going to wear it.
“So I thought this year I’m going to surprise him. I’m going to put it on and I’m going to feel comfortable in myself, okay.”
Walking to the back of the room so viewers could see her whole outfit, Nadia said: “Now ignore my boots. I’m going to put some sexy shoes on.”
Pointing to her thigh, she added: “And ignore my HRT patch. He doesn’t even see it anymore.”
Walking to the camera, the telly presenter said: “Right, so this is me being comfortable. Not awkward at all. There I am. I’m loving my combo bra and knickers.”
Then the door goes and a shocked Nadia shouts “Mark!” before turning the camera off.
Seeing the funny side, the Loose Women favourite – who regularly campaigns for body positivity – urged fans to share their own awkward lingerie moments.
She captioned the video: “Come on you lovely lot share some of your uncomfortable/awkward lingerie moments! Make me laugh! Make me cry!”
Fans were quick to comment on the post, praising Nadia for daring to bare. One said: “Looking gorgeous Nadia. MAAAAARK at the end got me.”
Another wrote: “You look brilliant the dog watching you though” followed by two laughing emoji faces.
A third fan applauded Mark for buying the right size, saying: “At least he got your size right! Beautiful” to which Nadia replied: “After years!”
Sharing their own experience with dressing up for their partner, a fourth follower wrote: “When I was younger well … 30 years ago…. Brought an outfit from Ann summers it had pull up stockings my legs wasn’t the thinnest.
“I stood like a goddess i thought as my partner walked in from work …., he burst into laughter saying I looked like a them chef leg covers on chickens you know the white covers on chicken legs at a feast …. End of my idea of looking sexy.”
“oh my GOD !! Love this !!!” Nadia wrote back.
A fifth said: “I was getting down and dirty with a new fella for the first time and discovered he was wearing a thong… horror!! All I could think to do was point at my own and say “his and hers”!”
Nadia has admitted her daughters are mortified by her Kim Kardashian -style naked posts - but insists she's not going to stop.
She said: “The reason I'm doing these body confidence posts is for them and for everyone else's daughters to say, 'So what if you've got a bit of flab or cellulite - it's not the end of the world.'"
