Mother teaches 16-year-old daughter how to be a glamour modelClaire Stephens Ltd/Closer

It's not every mum who tells their daughter how to walk in heels, strip off and pout for the camera.

But Annette Edwards, a former Playboy model, is delighted about her 16-year-old daughter's wish to be a topless model.

The 60-year-old has revealed to Closer magazine that she first accompanied her daughter Paige to a "scantily clad photo shoot" when she was 14 and now gives her tips on how to pose topless.

Annette, who has 10 children, nine grandchildren and one great-grandchild, shells out £100 a week to pay for Paige's makeup, fake tan and lingerie.

She said: "I'm really proud when I see Paige modelling – she looks beautiful. She's not too young or vulnerable as long as I'm with her. Girls in clubs wearing next to nothing are in more danger."

"There's nothing wrong with glamour modelling, as long as it's tasteful, like Page Three and Playboy. It makes you feel sexy and powerful – and Paige is a natural. I've modelled lingerie with her and we plan to pose topless together when she's old enough, too."

Her daughter explained: "Mum's an inspiration – I've always wanted to be a glamour model. I enjoy the compliments and being in front of the camera. When I'm 18, I'll go topless – the money's good."

She added: "I'm not sure I'll go topless with Mum, it might be embarrassing."

Annette told the magazine that she's spent £18,000 on plastic surgery – including a face lift and breast implants to take her from a 36D to a 36DD.

She explained that she would be supportive if her daughter decided to have a boob job when she reached 18 and said: "We'll have to see how she develops – she's a 32C, but she'll need to be at least a D-cup."

She added: "Glamour modelling's a great career. The compliments she gets are great for her self-esteem and the money's good. I've been a good role model to her."

However psychologist Dr Funke Baffour told Closer: "The mum is treating her daughter not as a child, but as a sexualised object who poses for the admiration of men – and that's completely wrong."

The full feature appears in this week's Closer magazine, on sale now.

Is Annette right to encourage her daughter to become a glamour model or not? Let us know below...
