Last year, she ended up at a disappointing No. 26 on FHM's poll of the Sexiest Women In The World.
But after this saucy photoshoot, Michelle Keegan will be hoping for a much higher placing when the 2013 list in unveiled on Thursday.
The Coronation Street actress, 25, showed off her stunning curves as she peels off for the men's magazine.

According to a FHM insider, Michelle is neck-in-neck in the votes with last year's 47 Helen Flanagan for the top of the list.
Whoever ends up No.1 will be following in the footsteps of last year's winner Tulisa Contostavlos.
Despite the underwear shoot, Michelle admits she doesn't see herself as 'sexy' at all, despite regularly being voted top soap pin-up in polls and award ceremonies.
She told FHM earlier this year: 'I've changed a lot in the last couple of years. I’m comfortable in my own skin now, where I used to be quite shy.

'It’s really flattering, and even now when I win an award like that, it’s just unbelievable, because I think, "What the hell do they see?", because I’m not like your typical sexy girl. I don’t think of me and think of sexy.'
One person who evidently thinks Michelle is sexy is her boyfriend Mark Wright.
The couple have been dating since December and appears to have fallen hard for each other already.
However, his mother Carol admitted Mark will be hoping Michelle doesn't do too many sexy shoots.
She told Love It! magazine in March: 'He may get jealous of those sexy shoots she does. He’s a proud, old-fashioned boy and he might be bothered that the other boys will be seeing his girlfriend like that. But as long as they’re not too risqué, he’ll be fine.
'They just seem very happy together, and have a good laugh.'
Of course, Michelle's shoot couldn't be further from her character Tina McIntyre's current situation - she's heavily pregnant with a surrogate baby for her friends Gary Windass and Izzy Armstrong.
Meanwhile, Michelle is counting down to leaving the soap after announcing her departure last month.
She will stay on screen until Spring 2014 after six years on the ITV serial drama.
