Sarah Cawood, who has been diagnosed with breast cancer, regrets stepping out of the limelight during the 90s.
The former Top Of The Pops presenter who joked that she's got "the Carlsberg of breast cancers", believes that if she had posed for more lads' mags she would have boosted her career.
Sarah, 50, said her boyfriend at the time, Bluetones guitarist Adam Devlin, held her back.
She told The Sun: "Back then, the way to really get your profile built up was to do lads’ mags shoots and I didn’t. Partly because of Adam and partly out of some weird sense of propriety.
“Like, I’m not going to get my boobs out to get ahead. Why the f*** not? My boobs were epic. They still are.
“They were honestly the best boobs — better than Denise van Outen’s, I’d say. So I should have got them out. Why didn’t I? I was really conflicted. If I’d done more lads’ mags shoots, my profile would have been higher, I’d have been offered more of the high-profile jobs."
She said that she could be Strictly Come Dancing, but also added that she "didn't have regrets" because she may not have met her husband Andy Merry.
Sarah, who shares Hunter, 10 and Autumn, 9, with her TV producer husband, was diagnosed with breast cancer last month.
After a mammogram and ultrasound she was told that she needed a biopsy and then discovered that the lump was more than a cyst.
She said that she lost sleep and panicked about what was going to happen to her.
But luckily for Sarah she was told by surgeons that it wasn't aggressive and "not much of a problem".
The mum-of-two said how she felt "really lucky" to have the "Carlsberg of breast cancers".
Her main focus now is recovering, hosting her menopause podcast Irregular Bitches and being a mum to her kids.
In her heyday she worked alongside some of the biggest stars of the nineties, including the Spice Girls - who she interviewed on Channel 4's The Girlie Show, which she hosted with Sara Cox.

The mum also presented Live & Kicking and joked about how she would get s***faced with celebs in between interviews.
The star said that while she doesn't work in TV anymore, she said it "wasn't that she was rubbish", but instead she "drifted out of fashion".
She says that she doesn't measure success by how rich you are, instead she said that success is measured by happiness.
